Of course, not only is it certainly illegal to cite people for violating repealed laws, but it’s almost certainly illegal for the City to post signs threatening to cite people for violating them in order to keep them out of places that they legally have the right to be.

Probably the City Attorney told him at that point that it wasn’t possible, because it’s not, and probably it also came up at this point that the City’s official signs banning adults without kids from actual demarcated playgrounds were really outdated, given that neither LAMC 83.44 nor Penal Code section 653g actually exist.

1 O’Farrell then probably asked the City Attorney how to ban grownups from the park again. So even though I don’t yet have documentary evidence to back it up, my best guess is that this story about Hollywood residents complaining about a park is O’Farrell-speak for something like the following chain of events: Kerry Morrison and her armed flunky Steve Seyler bitched and moaned about the HPOA’s illegal signs being removed from Selma Park. In each of these cases, “Hollywood residents” has turned out to be code for “Kerry Morrison.” He’s made this error with respect to tour bus regulation, and also street characters, and also Hollywood nightclubs. He thinks they’re his constituents even though none of them live in Hollywood. But Mitch O’Farrell is famous for confusing Kerry Morrison and her dimwit BID buddies with residents of Hollywood.

It would bar any adult from sitting on a bench, exercising or otherwise enjoying public space near playground unless he or she brought a child along. And the way the Times describes the issue is certainly frightening:īut what O’Farrell is proposing goes far beyond targeting worrisome activities that, in most cases, are already outlawed. This editorial prompted a massive ongoing freakout on Reddit, followed by O’Farrell’s feckless denial on Twitter and moving from there to a blog post by the incomparable Lenore Skenazy, then on to Slate, and then everywhere. It’s an effort, he said, to keep city parks “free of creepy activity.” Who wouldn’t want to ban creepy activity or creepy people from playgrounds? The Times puts it thus:Ĭity Councilman Mitch O’Farrell has proposed barring adults unaccompanied by children from entering playgrounds. Times published this editorial criticizing a recent motion of O’Farrell’s.
