Good day, i have a law enforcement question; Templeton has a number of bylaws with fines in place and we have non criminal disposition means of further enforcement. My question is if proof exists that a bylaw was violated and there is a fine listed but the party ignores the fine, would it be proper procedure for a resident to file a police report so as to pursue collection of money owed the town? According to town bylaws, the party responsible for enforcing bylaw is not the police department but ignoring the fine, would that constitute criminal or non criminal behavior that would become the business of law enforcement?
regards,
Jeff Bennett
I always wondered how you'd hold Selectman responsible for violating the bylaws when they are the authority in town.
ReplyDeletePolicy and Bylaw violations have been an ongoing problem with the Executive branch of our government.
This is what happens when nobody is held accountable for their actions.
