Proposed ordinance would target parked cars with expired plates
By Heather Anderson Kansan staff writer
If a proposed ordinance is approved, KU students and other Lawrence residents will not be able to avoid renewal of their permits, leaving their cars parked on city streets.
Lt. Mike Reeves of Lawrence police said tickets currently could be issued without a current license plate and registration only while they were driving.
Police also can ticket cars with expired plates if they are parked on Lawrence streets for more than 48 hours.
Otherwise, tickets cannot be given to unoccupied parked cars if they have expired license plates, he said.
Under the proposed ordinance, owners of
court cases filed in California license plates
could be paid $85 to $100.
Reeves said there was no way to know how many cars in Lawrence had ever been stolen.
The proposed ordinance would
encourage car owners not to use city streets as storage lots and to proper-ly manage parking.
He said he knew that some drivers left their cars parked without current license plates and moved them just before the 48-hour time limit expired.
Dave Corliss, management analyst for the city manager's office, said the proposed ordinance would fill the gap in the law.
He said the Lawrence city commission had passed the ordinance Tuesday night. The commission has to work again and again next week before it is enacted.
Nancy Hempen, Douglas County treasurer, said she had noticed an increasing number of people who were visiting platelets that already had expired.
She said representatives from the police department had spoken to her about the ordinance because they had not been informed, did not have current license plates.
Supreme Court hears controversy over cross-burning and 'hate crimes'
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Banning "hate crimes," such as cross-burning or repreensible as they may be - violates the right to free expression, the Supreme Court was told yesterday.
"Political discourse involves outrageousness," attorney Edward J. Cleary said in urging the court to overturn a St. Paul, Minn., ordination that bars display burning crosses, Nazi swastikas and other offensive symbols.
But Tom Foley, Ramsey County, Minn., attorney, defended the ordinance, saying the government has a compelling interest in preserving public safety.
"The First Amendment was never intended to protect an individual who burns a cross in the middle of the night in a fenced yard of an African-American family's home," Foley said.
The act "is an unmistakable threat,"hesaid.
Clearly represents a youth who was arrested in June 1990 on charges he burned two makeshifts and African-American family's yard.
Such an act is "reprehensible and abnorment," but the youth could be prosecuted under other laws, Cleary said. The youth, who was 17 at the time of his arrest, was identified as R.A.V. in court papers.
"We have a government signaling its disagreement with a particular type of opinion," Cleary said of the St. Paul ordinance.
If the ordinance were upheld, another city could make it illegal to display a Star of David if it offended another person, Cleary said.
