Because of all the escapes lately, you don't want to have to worry about criminals escaping and reeking havoc on your town.

you don't want to contact the mayor, you need to contact the police.  If they can't do anything, then call the Zoning Enforcement Officer and ask if there is a noise ordinance on the books.  If not, write the mayor or the town council and stress how important it is for a town to have a noise ordinance.  Go to town meetings to push your cause during oral petitions.  and see what you can do.

If you are not safe, you are not free.  Many times, when a person was attacked (be it rape, robbery, whatever) I have heard people say things like, "Well, she should not have gone to the mall by herself at night.  It's not safe."  Or, "Well, he should not have driven through that neighborhood." So, how free are we if a law-abiding citizen "is not supposed to" go out where they want to legally go?  \n\nI have nothing against security measures such as cameras in parks, parking lots, etc.  The camera does not prevent you from doing one legal thing.

It's a matter of policy, not a legal question.  \n\nIf I were in charge, I wouldn't allow it because there is a massive liability issue if the family members get hurt. \n\nApparently, your town's policy is to allow it.

No. Around here a big deal crime is drunk driving or petty vandalism. Around the nearest big city it is drive-by gang shootings setting new highs in the murder rate.

The government was put in place to protect the people.  Do you want rapists and murderers near you?\n\nAre you saying jails are too expensive for our society to incarcerate felons?\n\nDo you have any alternative suggestions to bestow upon us?

Ignoring a court order. And you will do time in a county jail.

I never ran around the neighborhood that way.  But I did get busted by the cops for sitting outside naked late one night in my yard. This was August 2005.  I spent a few hours in jail, had to go to court and pay a fine.  Evidently, it's against the law to do that.\n\nLove Jack

You should look for a local prisoner's rights organization.

The longer you wait, the worse the penalties.  There is a warrant out for your arrest now, and that's not a good thing.  Do the time and get it over with - why have this hanging over your head?

It's a very appealing idea, as long as it doesn't get out of hand.  There should be safeguards, and you did say, "convicted."  That's one.  We'd have to fight to keep it from being used indiscriminately, like every traffic stop or if you litter.  These are summary offenses, usually dealt with by issuing a ticket.  But the size of our population and ease of moving around almost makes this proposal inevitable.

MOst likely it will be a Fine and if its a smaller town community service. \n\nMost areas do not send people to jail for that charge unless it is a repetitive offence

I live in N.C. and unless he is under house arrest or the judge put a curfew on him then I suppose he can stay out all nite, but if he's not paying his parole officer and keeping a job then yes they can put out a warrant for his arrest if he's not going in to see his parole officer..

In a barn or other form of out-building on someones land; preferably with their permission.\nYou can trash it (clean up is easy), make more noise, and less problems with police if your out of town in the county somewhere.

The sheriff there would not allow it be given to a prisoner.  They are very restrictive there and have most amenities denied while they are incarcerated.  Prisoners are denied any special favors.  I'd suggest you hang on to that magazine until the individual gets released.

more than likely you will have to go to jail and serve the rest of your time there. unless you get a lawyer and have them work something out with you to where u do work/community service program. but it really depends on your state and county. i know that some smaller counties are more strict then some larger counties and some smaller counties are less strict unlike some larger counties

It's called being a public nuisance and obstructing traffic.  you can be ticketed and if you refuse to disburse you can be confined
