Reply to comment by citsonga_cixelsyd in Can someone from the borough remove the cover from your car to take pictures of it in PA? by Haroflolpter

Wow, I would have thought things would be more strict up there too. But yeah, the car is registered and insured. In Franklin's defense, the ordinance is clear, unfortunately. Just can't believe someone would flag it down since it's nowhere close to looking like rust bucket.

The thing that struck me was that you're on private property. Even if it was a rust bucket, you have it covered. How is this an issue that they feel the need to address.

The fact that the authorities came onto private property and uncovered it makes me feel like somebody, for whatever reason, reported you.

Too much time one their hands I guess. Even if someone reported me, I'm still trying to figure out if someone can legally come put their grubby mitts over my car, even if they are a borough official. Thought they would have asked first maybe.

The ordinance says you can't have on your property? I always thought it was OK If it wasn't on the street. Like all of those vehicles that people are working on, parked in driveways.

The ordinance is meant to prevent people from turning their residential property into a junkyard or similar eyesore. That doesn't mean it's always used so sparingly.
