[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 384482, member: 2318"] Here is another instance of living in an age in which the public sphere is encroaching on what was once an individual's right to pursue his/her individual happiness, whether others like it or not. But to turn instead to the practical point -- How best to reply to the policeperson who probably believes he's only doing a job? I would reply (good naturedly), "What? You're kidding me? Since when?" [insert whatever ypu imagine officialdom's response might be] Then I'd reply [key point], " I don't see any signs." [Suppose the reponse is, "There's a sign at the park entrance."] I'd reply, "Oh, I thought that was for cigarette smokers. They leave their butts all over. Pipers are a tidy lot. We leave no mess as I will demonstrate to your complete satisfaction." And maybe, "Isn't this like traffic laws? The police have some judgment in the matter. Otherwise, we'd just have smoker cams or some such thing." Glad you didn't get a citation. [/QUOTE]
