So which is it? Were the signs in his yard as the headline states or were the signs in front of his yard - as he states?

I would like to see a 2nd confirmation that the signs were put near his property and not on his property. If they were in his property, I hope he sues for millions. If they weren’t then I hope they at least arrest the mob thugs who put the signs there and castrate them for the completely unnecessary assault on the homeowner.

If it’s a public right of way, the abutting land owner does not have the right to remove the signs during the election season. There may even be a fine for doing so.

Here is the article in the Taos News

Doesn’t AZ have some odd real estate law wherein you own the building, but not the land that your home is built on?

The incident took place May 1,
but it took the Taos News
one month: June 1 to report it.

Anyone putting their political signs on my property better have my permission. If not, I’ll set them on fire.

Of course, I’ll throw out the signs too...

I notice the article doesn’t actually say the signs were on his property. It states they were “in front of” his property. I’m betting they were on his property but the original author did not want to concede that point.

As others have mentioned, the signs were "in front" of the victim's property, not necessarily "on" it.

However, IMHO, that's not the only thing to consider. A political sign in front of your house (on what passers by would assume is your property), clearly implies that you support the candidate. If you don't support that candidate, and you never gave your permission for a sign implying that you do -- that seems to be a form of libel. You've been accused, in writing, of political views that you don't hold. Perhaps the home owner ought to sue for libel.

Also, I might have placed additional signs, adjacent to the offending ones, which said something like: "These signs were placed here without my permission, I would never vote for this man". Then, see whose signs get removed, by whom. A surveillance camera would be useful.

Someone on my yard putting up a political sign would meet Mr. Remington. Or, worse... the H.O.A !

I'm having a hard time understanding where the signs were in relation to the property. Were they actually on the guy's property, or were they on some other property in front of the homeowner's property? It's mentioned at least three times- in FRONT OF the property.

" over the removal of political signs from in front of his property. "

" find several of Cruz’ campaign signs in front of his property.

"it was very distasteful to put these signs in front of my property." "

Were , or were not the signs actually on the resident's property?

[hattend]

Cruz denied having any knowledge of anyone involved in the incident, saying that it was “unfortunate” that Cunnyngham removed signs that “did not belong to him.”

It's "unfortunate" that Cruz put signs on private property that did not belong to him without permission.
