CAPRICIOUS JUSTICE: By-Law allegations used to invade property: ...

                                Capricious Justice      April 27, 2017.

Police are granted limited access to the homes and property of residents and owners in case of life threatening emergency or when a judge signs a warrant. Criminal intent on the part of the resident or owner of property being invaded is required for the criminal process and warrant to be used. 

I cannot understand why the moronic device which is used to overrule Law is tolerated by persons who profess to possess extraordinary intelligence. The function of Law is to protect persons and property. The misuse of Law is to use Law to frighten, dominate, intimidate and endanger persons.

The moronic device is that when an infraction of a by-law is suspected, a citation is issued: the alleged infraction is often, invariably in my case, an alleged error of omission, a failure to comply with the often ridiculous and unsupportable interpretations the violation generating martinets espouse.  The citations used repeatedly to intimidate and assault with police, were ruled to be unenforceable and the alleged offence unproven whenever I could challenge in the courts.

The by-law officer becomes the relentless punisher, gathers up as many police or other goons as possible and heads out to violate the written and spoken orders of the property owner to stay off his property, to leave him alone, to find the legal way to serve the quack documents.

                                     ZONING  LAWS MISUSED

 Municipalities and Districts have the power to regulate zoning and to control density and setbacks. The power to control most other aspects of the activity of business is not a Municipal power. 

When zoning requirements are used to control the nature of business or agricultural activity on property which is zoned so that the activity is permissible the Municipality is overstepping its powers and exercising unlawful control over property owners. 

I attended a meeting of the Juan de Fuca  Land Use Committee; at that meeting, January 21st 2014 I am quite sure that I said "Mr. Hicks, you are using your powers to change a setback to effectively prohibit the use of existing buildings located on agricultural zoned land which meet current setbacks", or words to that effect. Mr. Hicks stated that the increased setbacks would require a variance to use existing buildings which met current requirements. Mr. Hicks said, "We will throw it to the neighbors."  I replied that the neighbors always say no. 

I was making the case that zoning and setback powers were being used to effectively prohibit certain types business and agriculture for which land was zoned. There was no mention of my statement in the minutes of the meeting which I just noticed posted on a page associated with my name.   

I wrote a letter to the JDF Director about this zoning issue.
