I've noticed that many local ordinances contain the phrase
"where, or as otherwise permitted, by state law"
and I have become a bit concerned because... what exactly is the meaning of that phrase? Does it mean that if there is no law against an activity then state law permits that activity?
Or does it mean that if there isn't a law that defines that activity then, in the absence of a an actual law to define the activity, it isn't permitted?
I confess I can see how it can be interpreted (oh how I hate that progressive agenda word!!!) either way but I am at a loss as to what the actual legal meaning would be.
And I am also distrustful of any lawmaker that leaves loopholes in their laws such as that phrase since it speaks of an inherent deviousness and purposeful covering of a cracked portion of human anatomy.
So... what say all of you?
