From the Telegraph:

Warner Robins resident arrested for trashing signs in right of way

By CHRISTINA M. WRIGHT

WARNER ROBINS -- A man whose girlfriend ran into trouble removing signs in the right of way in Macon was arrested last week for doing the same thing in Warner Robins.

“It was very humiliating,” said Joseph Howard, 54.

Howard, of Warner Robins, said state and local laws gave him every right to pick up 42 signs in the public right of way. Police saw it differently, as did one of the signs’ owners.

Georgia Law is rather cut-and-dried on this. They are litter.

quote = "Twenty-three belonged to Smith. (Houston County Solicitor General Amy Smith) Howard said he wasnt targeting her and has e-mailed her in the past with his concerns.They were in the public right of way, he said."

Smith is the one who should be abiding by the law, not harassing litter pick up.

Oh, there's a hint of cool in the air, and Winter is coming! I've got to gather more firewood... And Sign stakes make great fire starters!

Ack! Bandit Signs are LITTER!
