Re: Fish killer
And here's the post;According to a recent descision by a Lee County court, it is possable to dispose of used motor oil by simply opening the cleanout cap behind your home and dumping it directly into the sanitary sewer system.Just do not allow any law enforcement officer take a photgraph of the act( not that this would really make a difference)..<br />I know this because I brought this case before the court today, representing the State. I also saw a boater get a 50 dollar fine for speeding in a idle zone while boating in Matatcha Pass...He had pictures of the spot he was sighted at, and entire path he took to the channel, that had no signs posted!! He is appealing this ruling, But back to this oil issue.. <br />Do you change your own oil? Do you have 5gallon buckets of the goo ,waiting for a trip to the next "hazerdous waste disposal day" nearest you? Well, my friends, don't worry about it.. Just take the cap off your<br />sewer cleanout and pour it into the sewer. No need to be neat about it. If it happens to spill all over the outside of the cleanout, it will only kill the grass, but that doesn't matter. Allow pictures to be taken of this mess ,and your car still up on jacks with oil spilled all over the pad.<br />And no need to even put the oil drain pan up. Just toss it on the lawn beside the cleanout. The law enforcement officer can even take photos of all of this evidence, and prove beyond any reasonable doubt that oil was dumped into the sewer line from YOUR home, and you can be ruled innocent! Oh, sure, there is a 500 dollar fine for the first-time offence, but if the officer can't prove YOU personally dumped it, you walk.<br />Tell the judge, you have a wife and 7 children, and your gate does not lock, and that anyone could have done this,regarless that this property is yours! <br />If Johny Law DOES happen to click a pic of you in the process, just add the following statement,and you should still prevail.."Oh, that was just chocolate syrup". I didn't have a pic of that by the way,but thought I would get things ready for the next court case.<br />I Just thought I would vent. I spent most of the morning waiting for this case to appear. I sat through hearing about some guy's dog that got loose,and animal control issued 3 seperate citations,and the guy's atourney (yes a real for-money lawyer) was in a word, BRILLIANT..<br />I saw cases dissmissed because the arresting officer didn't show (no suprise there,I guess). Then this polution case. I do not know what else I could've given this court to prove the people's case! I'm done. I'll be retiring 15 months from now (none too soon). It is next to impossable to prosecute such low-life,and such low-life is paddling-over here by the raft load! They can destroy your water supply better than ANY terrorist group can ,AND GET AWAY WITH IT!!!<br />I had video tape showing the oil entering the sanitary mains,with dye that I taped myself introducing into the site. I had that dye and residual oil streaming-by the camera...This evidence was not even placed in the VCR! I had pics of the oil pan laying in the yard, mutant's "home" in the background. I had the pics of the truck REGISTERED TO THIS MUTANT, up on jacks with spillage visable underneath! Granted, this is not capital murder. But it might as well be to me, considering I have spent 29 years of my life trying to prevent this type of activity. Just as the cop on the street seeks making the streets safer and the C.G. officer seeks to make us safe on the water, I sought to try to keep our water safe to drink, and safe for the entire ecosystem.<br />The Coast Gaurd officer has lost.He must chase-down threats to manatees , in leu of threats to humans. The cop on the street has lost. He is crying over the makeshift grave of a mutants' 5year-old beaten,bruised and murdered offspring, burried behind a mobile home. I lost. I think I'm going to go fishing while I still can. I strongly urge you to do so also, and DO NOT leave your <br />children at home. Let them experiance what they soon will loose. I'm sorry if I seem a bit mellodramatic over this, but it is just a personal breaking-point for this camel's back!
