The only ones who will benefit from this crap will be the local law firms.
I hope the people of Taber won't mind a big property tax increase to go toward paying the town's legal fees, court costs and penalties for all of the 'not guilty' pleadings and 'not guilty' court rulings that will happen.

I dont see an issue with most of them. Punk ass kids hanging out at 7-11, spray painting.... kids under 18 on the streets after 11pm....
Makes parents acountable.
Loitering.... nothing worse than bums asking for change Or a smoke. Every day i see it in lac la biche on main street.

I see what they are trying to accomplish, but WOW! I find the "assembly" rule particularly concerning.

As for cigarette butts, I that's covered under littering, isn't it?

Need "permission to gather" speak ect, sound's like town council need's to know their place.IMO
Crap like this goes unchallenged, pretty soon we are living in china.
Does the council think they are "big brother"?
If someone get's nailed with one of these new fines and there is a lawyer in the family it could cost the
town ALOT OF MONEY..............
There is already dozens if not hundreds of "law's" on all of the possible infraction's mentioned.
So, who do they( the council) think they are passing bylaw's to cover the same thing's?

If the law is in place, and someone breaks that law (even if it is completely ridiculous), what leg does said lawyer have to stand on?
