Here we go again, the lack of Constitutional knowledge of our city legislators. The latest proposal to the city charter could be a possible violation of the 5th, 10th and 14 amendment of the US Constitution;
In order to get property owners who rent to register with the city, they are threatening inspections to those who do not comply to registration at the Land Use Committee.
Searches and seizures of private property IS legal, with a warrant and suspicion of criminal activity. This must be issued by a JUDGE, and the search conducted by law enforcement.
In other words, if you see a property that has these kind of things going on, CALL 911! Not the health department or code enforcement.
While I don’t have an issue with ASKING renters to register with the city, if they DON’T, that is no reason to treat them like criminals, as long as they are paying the appropriate taxes on revenue from the rentals.
So ridiculous! This is like Civics 101 for 1st Graders.
