I have just (today) discovered this forum.

Late last spring my wife and I were charged with petty larceny and trespass for removing signs advertising "cage fighting" from Virginia roadsides. http://brleader.com/?p=8687

Until last year our county had a volunteer program to pick up illegal roadside spam. In 2 years these volunteers picked up 52,000 signs within Loudoun County. Nonetheless, during the first meeting of our local Board of Supervisors the new board killed the program- http://www.leesburgtoday.com/news/article_b34681d2-880a-11e1-91c9-001a4bcf887a.html http://www.leesburgtoday.com/news/article_ba93426c-41f7-11e1-91ea-001871e3ce6c.html

I've been picking up illegal roadside spam for decades and my Great Grandmother was involved with the adoption of the sign ordinance- one of the first in the country.

If anyone has any information or advice which would help us with our case I would greatly appreciate it. We have already spent 5K

For the record, we didn't go on private property, nor did we remove any signs from in front of the complainants' business- this case is about revenge

Hi:

Welcome to CAUSS. I think there was another case where a person was arrested in VA. Please do a search on the VA forum (or all forums) for "arrest". You may find relevant information.
