I have gotten permission. Researched the laws. Researched them again.
The cop told me if he gets a call he has to respond. Fine.
When I told the cop I had permission, he told me to get permission again, just to pacify the woman who was harrassing me and endangering children.
Its not about how "important" the park is to me. Its about my rights being trampled. When I get pulled over for speeding I dont make a fuss because I broke the law and should pay a fine.
This is different. People are allowed to have their dogs #@!$%#@! in the park. People are allowed to play football in the park. People are allowed to do all sorts of things in the park. Why are the singleing out metal detectorists? It is a case of discrimination in my opinion.
I understand there are people who dont "rock the boat". I normally dont either. But I refuse to stand still while some woman on a power trip tramples my rights. If I have to make it so they make a law, I will, because atleast then it will force them to make a legitimate stand on an issue that they seem to not be able to make a stand on. And for those concerned that there will be no metal detecting allowed...atleast now there will be a law that says it, rather than a make believe law enforced by someone with no authority.
People who say i should ask for a permission slip i offer you this.
I was told It was ok already. I was told the woman had no authority to ask us to leave the park. I will not go ask permission for somethign I already have permission to do. In my opinion we shouldnt need permission at all as we are tax payers and my money goes to fund the park as well as anyone elses. When grandpa jones asks permission to walk his dog or billy the neighbor kid asks permission to play a game of sandlot with his friends then maybe I will ask.
Im tired of being treated like a criminal for excercising my rights.
I understand there are some who think that you should just do what everyone says in order not to "cause problems". I used to do that however I refuse to do it anymore. If i lay down now, what will they go after next? What is the point of having rights if your going to lay down and let someone trample them just because they are ignorant.
And about the pigs thing, I already stated why i use the term. It wasnt directed at anyone here.
Thanks and HH.
