“PUBLIC PROPERTY” NOW INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU CAN SEE WHILE YOU ARE STANDING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY


In a vote on the first hearing of CR-13-736, the Denver City Council proves once again that sanity has left the building. According to Robb Amendment (unenforceable, unconstitutional), the front of your house is public property if it can be seen from the sidewalk or street, and therefore you cannot smoke pot there because it is “open and public”. Doesn’t this mean that drinking alcohol there (or on restaurant sidewalk patios) is also being done in public and should therefore also be prohibited? Listen to what your Councilperson has to say before the vote:

0:00 Jeanne Robb – voted YES
6:08 Susan Shepherd – voted NO
9:10 Charlie Brown – voted NO
