JACKSONVILLE, Fla. –

Soon you might be breaking the law if you back your car into your own driveway.

As part of the effort to get rid of abandoned cars contributing to blight, some City Council members are looking at how license plates are displayed while vehicles are parked in front of homes.

A proposal being considered says that if inspectors can’t see a vehicle’s tag from the road, the owner could be cited. That means vehicles wouldn’t be allowed to be covered up in a driveway, either.

“I think it’s ridiculous,” said homeowner Dave Bryant, who said he always backs into his driveway. “The main reason I do it is people parallel park on the side of the street, so if you are backing out, you can’t see traffic coming.”

One way or another the leviathan state will criminalize you.

    I just finished a Tim Dorsey book starring Serge Storms, a compassionate serial killer who, as his daytime job as a travel critic advises always backing into parking slots so the cops can’t find you with their automatic license plate readers. In JACKSONVILLE!!! Somebody’s been reading Dorsey.

    Never happen…I live here. People got seriously pissed and burned up the councilmens e-mail and phone lines. A lot of places, you really need to back in so you can get out on the street without getting run over coming out. They need to stick to what’s been working: Neighbor-snitching.

    The heck do we need the government to help us police our neighbors anyway? If my neighbor has a truck up on blocks for six months, I think we can talk about it like adults. If he persists and it’s really negatively affecting me (like I’m trying to sell my house and he’s dragging the value down looking like a junk show next door?) then I can sue him if he doesn’t change, right? Why do we need the cops to enforce this?

    What kind of hell must it be to be married to a city councilor who would actually favor banning people from backing into their own driveways?
