WWW.thesnarkyview.com -- DETROIT MUSICIAN FACES ARREST, PRISON

Harper Woods, Michigan- A lifelong citizen of this tiny suburb of 10,000 woke up Wednesday to find a notice in his mail box. It was a warrant for his arrest issued by Judge Roger J. La Rose. the city's district court judge. The crime? Parking his own Dodge minivan on his own driveway. The warrant listed it as a "junk vehicle" in spite of the fact that the owner, Scott Campbell, already produced copies of his valid license plate, registration and insurance, something the local police department could have found out just by running his plate. "I was told by the city attorney that this was settled, though they should have simply run the plate to begin with".

People on here don't bother to read the full article, don't really read the other comments and don't follow up on the profile of the GasBuddy. He is just using this as his bully-pulpit.

So Scott Campbell, aka SilliesRock, is posting on here about his own troubles.

It is obvious from the comments that people didn't seek the full article as well as this guy's profile.

This definitely should not have been posted on GasBuddy.com.

Not sure how this relates to gas prices, but it was an interesting read. Talk about feeding the machine! What makes this Carl character so important and what are his real reasons for his behavior?

Carl Moore sounds just like my neighbor who calls the police, and various city departments complaining about just about everything. The city services she calls frequently come, investigate, find nothing wrong, and leave. I have asked that the city charge frequent callers who file invalid complaints with something like the "False Reports" charge used to handle false reports to Police Departments, however, my city even accepts and investigates reports without the reporter identifying themselves, which this neighbor uses.

Harassing the citizens with unjustified arrest warrants is a tactic used by cities to get rid of people that don't fit their snobby image. I'm not surprised at this given that Harper Woods, MI is next to the snoburbs of Grosse Pointe Woods, Park, Shores, and Farms.

I take it there is some sort of law there about having a "junk" vehicle?? I don't think most places in KY have any such law. We have lots of real Junk vehicles here!

Call mental health authoritatives and have the judge and city attorney committed to an institution for the criminally insane.

I agree with Powerstroke73L; but would qualify that it "sounds like the city is being run by a bunch of former Californians..." who were even more formerly 'New Yawkahs' and 'Chicagoans'. — CA wasn't born retarded, we were overrun by a bunch of mobsters and other riff-raff who wanted to live on 'easy street' without earning it. Now the same crowd are trashin' the rest of the country.

Never heard of someone being arrested for parking a junk vehicle in their own driveway, even if it was a Dodge. It sounds like that neighbor should be locked up for criminal harassment and threatening phone calls in the middle of the night.

I can't figure out when we gave the government the right to tell you what legal posessions you are and are not allowed to keep on your own property.

Sounds like Harper Woods is not a place to live. A person should be able to park any vehicle in there drive way. That is not city business what they do in there yard. I quess you better have a nice car to go there.
