Laguna Beach Police again threaten Yoga in the Park!
Laguna Beach Police again threaten Yoga in the Park!!
One would think that having dealt with this exact issue a year ago we would not be revisiting this issue again. Again, today we had not one office but also he called in his supervisor the Watch Commander SGT. George Ramos to kick us off the walkway. It seems there was a complaint that we were on the walkway, probably anonymous like last time. At any rate the officers were taking the position, while we were not blocking the walkway, as anyone could see, there seems there is a little used statute that prohibits sitting, kneeling, or lying on the sidewalk at any time. It seems the Laguna Beach Police use this statute selectively, depending upon who they want to roust. One would think our police have better things to do than stand around for almost two hours at the park threatening our residents.
This time a big difference, the City (Ben Siegel) had been made aware of the incident and killed it in its tracks. He emailed me that Yoga in the Park is fine on the walkway and that I should keep a copy of his email to show any other officers who may have a need to be updated. Nice to know our City is behind us, now if we can just get the police to use some basic common sense.
