LOS ANGELES (CBS) — When you head down to the beach for a little fun this summer, county officials want you to leave the pigskin at home.
The Board of Supervisors this week agreed to raise fines to up to $1,000 for anyone who throws a football or a Frisbee on any beach in Los Angeles County.
In passing the 37-page ordinance on Tuesday, officials sought to outline responsibilities for law enforcement and other public agencies while also providing clarification on beach-goer activities that could potentially disrupt or even injure the public.
The updated rules now prohibit “any person to cast, toss, throw, kick or roll” any object other than a beach ball or volleyball “upon or over any beach” between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Exceptions allow for ball-throwing in predesignated areas, when a person obtains a permit, or playing water polo “in or over the Pacific Ocean”.
However, during the winter off-season, the new rules will be relaxed.
Officials warned that any activities that could potentially harm “any person or property on or near the beach” should not be allowed during the peak summer season.
Your kids could also end up costing you big bucks: the ordinance also prohibits digging any hole deeper than 18 inches into the sand except where permission is granted for film and TV production services only.
Where will that $1000 go? EBT Cards aka Casino Debit Cards? In-State tuition for illegals?
You're kidding. You can't throw a fucking football on the beach now without a four-figure fine? Good God, California is gone.
I thought I wanted to move to California. They have nice beaches, nice weather, I really liked it when I visited... but apparently they're run by a bunch of soccer moms :(
What about a volley-ball ball?
If you lived here this wouldn't surprise you in the slightest.
Well it says anything but a volleyball...bring on beach rugby
You guys have no fucking idea how many people get killed in frisbee related accidents each year, do you?
Do you?
No that's why I'm asking, faggot.
Lol you really cant make this shit up. What will Cali base tv shows do now? Everyone knows that all tv shows in Cali revolve around rich kids who throw footballs on the beach! It would be worth the fine to go to the beach and rouse up a massive soccer game where the LAPD had to call down every cop in the city to come and write tickets while all sorts of crime rages through out the city.
It's a fucking disgrace that governments are run by people who hold no accountability to anyone.
