Mayor Jake Day To Create Law Where The City Can Enter Your Home Any Time They Want

Yes, the headline to this post is 100% accurate!

Oh, you're NOT going to believe this one. You will read later this hour of how the City is divorcing the County in which Jake Day is about to skyrocket your taxes by creating new departments.

One of the new resolutions you'll see tonight at the Council Meeting is his new reorganization plan. 

So in a nut shell, if you are using City water and sewer, the City will inspect your RESIDENTIAL property "from time to time" "checking the the amount and nature of the effluent being discharged into the sanitary sewer system". 

It goes on to say "Any person who shall refuse to permit and, upon conviction thereof by the Circuit Court for the county, shall be punished by a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00 nor more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) or by imprisonment for not less than 10 days nor more than (30) days". 

They go on to say they can disconnect you immediately as well. Didn't this happen at one time in Germany? Oh, that's right, millennials don't know what HISTORY is and they're taking down and removing anything to do with history. Keep in mind, you can be picked at random and you either let them in or you could go to jail on criminal charges. Like we learned and published a few months ago, be assured the people entering your home, (just like they have trained Firefighters) these people will see possible violations and immediately report you to Code & Compliance with demands to bring your property up to code. They can and will use this to enter your property any time they like.

This Mayor needs to be removed along with the entire City Council. Is this was City taxpayers really want?

This is about as un constitutional as it gets. Who did they get to draw this stuff up, mickey mouse? And if we dont comply with your unlawful order...you'll starve us out?

A revenue generation scheme for when their stupid folk festival inevitably fails and cost the city money. They already proved they'd rob Peter to pay Paul to pay for it.

Although concerning this is typical for many municipalities, and does not need a warrant. One scenario where an inspection could be initiated would be if the city has reason to believe you have performed unpermited plumbing work and are therefore discharging more wastewater than they are accounting for.

Before the city attempts to gain access to "the property", there must be evidence that what's flushed or drained into the sewer is somehow dangerous or abuses the sewer system. That such unwanted is actually flowing from a source, that source has to be proven. Sewer main pipes have entry points from each property, whether business or residential, single family or apartment building. Businesses (some) and single family residences (all) have a single line to the main. Apartments share the line that goes from the building to the street. If something is going into the sewer that's a danger or that shouldn't be there at all, the only way to find out where it comes from with a shared system is to inspect the source point.

Well, I've been saying for years that Salisbury is too far gone. If the few remaining decent folks left in the city don't rise up now and remove him, you get what you deserve. What are you waiting for? The last homeowner to leave? The last person without a lengthy rap sheet to leave? The last business to close? Or do you figure everybody else has been shot, stabbed, raped, mugged, robbed, or beaten but it will never happen to you?

If anyone can come into my home on that pipsqueaks orders can we file a lawsuit against the entire gang of thugs running thus city?

What the hell does this refer to?

" "from time to time" "checking the the amount and nature of the effluent being discharged into the sanitary sewer system"."

I only know of one thing dropped in my stool (no pun intended).

Actually, this ordinance violates the US Constitution and upon challenge in any court, the City will be forced to pay restitution along with sanctioned by the Federal government which means trouble with the DOJ. The City Attorney apparently isn't doing his job because he should already know this will cause a world of hurt for the Day Administration. This could even get the ACLU suing them in another lawsuit beside the one suing them all for FOIA violations.

They seem to forget their bud Obama is not in charge anymore and the governor is not some loony leftist like O'Malley.

Let Day and Glanz continue to do this kidn of crap because it will put them on Sessions' radar very quickly, which is what is needed to finally bring them to justice!

Keep cheering.

They already try this crap with rental inspections. They give the impression that it is mandatory but it isn't. We have refused their request. Thanks to one smart sbynews commentor who clued us in to the fact that this was a voluntary program on the tenants.

We have begrudgingly done it in the past. This year our answer was, no thank you.

Since it would be illegal for them to demand an inspection of an occupied dwelling, they are pushing the envelope in another direction.

They are too stupid to realize they could get better results if they required a certificate of occupancy and did the inspection while the dwelling was empty in between tenants.

But that would mean you would have to venture out of the city to see what other municipalities successfully do.

If the police can not come into my home without a search warrant what the hell does he think he can send in his PW people to come in my house ILL SEE THEM IN COURT HOPE THE CITY HAS BIG POCKETS

The people and landlords in the City of Salisbury are being SCREWED big time by these liberal take it all acts. You all better get up to those council meetings and fight for your rights. The Mayor and Council needs to be replaced with people with some common sense. The people in the City of Salisbury can not afford all these changes!!!!!

Well 9:36am, there are already plenty laws that allow entry with a court order, if its a business, there are plenty laws that allow for inspection, even at random. Hardly any serious businesses that you havent taxed or regulated to run them away, so odds are low here too. I find it extremely unlikely any residence would or could discharge anything chemical wise for any length of time. Sounds like a far fetched excuse from the failed treatment plant as to why the bazillion dollar plant isnt working. None of this is even close as an excuse to ask/force people to forfeit their constitutional rights. Get your evidence and a court order. I yearn to see the day when leo's will charge those attempting to destroy the Constitution and Bill of Rights...your nazis, criminals and traitors.

Any lawyer or official who would conjure up and attempt to carry out a scheme to violate Constitutional Rights should be disbarred. You can not make laws that thwart the Constitutional Laws, your either an idiot or a criminal.

"You can not make laws that thwart the Constitutional Laws..."

So untrue.

Start with the drug war and work your way down from there. Both political parties have been legislating behavior for decades - at the federal, state and local levels - and it has never been strictly Constitutional. "Public Safety" is the most common excuse and often accepted by many, but it is NOT Constitutional.

This is NOT Legal...Why isn't any one talking about this. Has any one contacted an attorney? Don't just complain; DO SOMETHING, TAKE ACTION NOW!!!

Day is working hard to make Salisbury just a place people travel through to get to their final destinations. More and more businesses will either move to the County or just leave the area altogehter. He is ruining Salisbury by trying to dismantle it piece by piece to make it some Section 8 haven. Has anyone sent this package to the Governor? Maybe someone should because the faster Hogan defunds any grants to Day, the faster this cancer will shrivel up and disappear. Starving Democrats of cash is the quickest way to them moving on.

Bypass killed this town. Day is just finishing off the headstone.

Why in the world does the Salisbury Fire Department need a fire marshal. They will be triplicating services done by the County and the State Fire Marshal.

We all know it's to generate revenue to pay for the paid firemen that Jake Day and Jim Ireton hired.

Jake Day isn't he that little munchkin with the jacked up teeth? The one that all the munchkins from the fire department like Bootsy Gladwell are trying to be friends on Facebook.

how can we who live in the city do a damn thing. We didn't vote for him! You forget, he only needed one vote to win...his own. NOT voting for him is the best we can do. We could have elected a better council however.

This is ludicrous! Thank God I live in the County. Although I am most definitely not a Democrat, I really hoped that Day would do a decent job, but he has done the stupidest things EVER! Can the Mayor be impeached? It's incredible to me that he is so dumb! He is destroying what was left of this city. No area is "bettered" by Section 8 housing, bar crawl entertainment lanes, tearing down historical monuments, raising the already outrageous city taxes, dictating what kind of fences can be erected on private property, covering up crimes and shady deals, robbing one department to fund another (or an event), and cultivating votes from the non-working, non-contributing citizens. I think even Ireton would disagree with at least some of Day's ridiculousness. He truly needs to take his cocky self and find a job he can handle. I'm sure Daddy will find him something with a big title and few responsibilities. If not, Daddy-poo and Day's baby mama can pay the bills.

What?
You cheerleaders are offended and alarmed at a group of "leaders" who think they have a right to come unannounced and "inspect" you private home?
I think this is the part where everyone derisively laughs at you.
"I'm not doing anything wrong and you STILL get to put me in jail for not doing what you order me to do???"
When you cheered Nazi checkpoints, they were emboldened.
When you cheered jailing reporters who reported crimes by the judiciary, they knew they were unstoppable.
When it was REVEALED that "we, the people" were being watched, filmed, photographed, and recorded anywhere and everywhere we were (against the law, too, by the way, but don't let details limit your cheering), you loved it because "if you're not doing anything wrong, don't worry." Remember THAT, you dumb aces?
You cheered when it was OTHER people's rights and freedoms being suppressed, altered, and eliminated (secret searches, trials, and prisons). Oh yeah. Mr. and Ms Perfect piously decided THEY knew better than Jefferson and Madison.
NOW, it's THEIR turn and the wailiing is earsplitting.
I TOLD YOU.
One day, because of your inane cheering, there will be cameras in your living room, unannounced home "inspections", and jail for those who don't like it. I told you. You laughed.
NOW, you want to press your "rights"?????
You total, over the top, 100%, unadulterated, complete idiots.
YOU don't get to decide what is "wrong". THEY do.
Now, continue wailing. Its too late for you. Go ahead.
Keep cheering.

A search and seizure by a law enforcement officer without a search warrant and without probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime is present. Such a search or seizure is unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment (applied to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment), and evidence obtained from the unlawful search may not be introduced in court.

Anonymous said...

Know as the "Fruit of the poisonous Tree" In criminal law, the doctrine that evidence discovered through unconstitutional means (such as a forced confession or illegal search and seizure), may not be used as evidence against a criminal defendant.

Isn't that a violation of privacy? Didn't they stop random investigations of people on welfare? If so, they cannot come into our homes whenever they want.Who the hell do they think they are. Salisbury needs to stand up to these jerks and it will stop. Let's show them our power.

Then we need to not show up for their folk festival. That will put a stop to it.

9:29. If they believe that something unpermited has been done, then they need to get a warrant. There are things that is against the city charter that the city is not permitted to do and they do it anyway. They call it "politics". Ok for them and not the residents of Salisbury?????? Doing work on PRIVATE property is one of them. My brother, bless his soul, worked for the city and told me several things they have done that was illegal. When he questioned it, he was told its politics and to keep his mouth shut.
