Zoning code often gives "officers" broad leeway. It's a reality that, despite the 4th amendments extension to the curtilage of your land, it is easily circumvented. Don't consider the 4th amendment to protect anything but your actual buildings.

But if you are within 30 days and can even document it, go make some noise - bc if that is the case, this is abuse of authority, and there's a statute for that in that e360 as well.

Here's a fun one:

Fences exceeding 4ft are prohibited by Harrisburg and surrounding counties/associations. Those 4 ft fences must be able to support the weight of a 150 lb man.

It's a blanket statement about expecting either kids or police to be screwin around on your fence. The former I get - the latter disturbs me. However, one isn't going to find many uniformed/equipped 150 lb police officers. That's a rarity, I'm sure.
