California’s latest experiment in faith-based policymaking is being unleashed today on the San Diego public, as regional water-quality officials begin hearings on new regulations that seem crafted to turn most owners of a car, house or dog into criminals within a decade or so. We wish we were exaggerating.
Under the draft rules, ordinary homeowners may face six years in prison and fines of $100,000 a day if they are deemed serial offenders of such new crimes as allowing sprinklers to hit the pavement, washing a car in the driveway, or, conceivably, failing to pick up dog poop promptly from their own backyards, let alone the sidewalk.
Cities throughout San Diego, south Orange and southwest Riverside counties must enforce the law, and set up 24-hour hot lines for people to report violations by their neighbors.
The new regulations even apply to firefighters, who would be forced to somehow capture and scrub the water running down the street from fire hoses and burning buildings, although the bureaucrats promise wiggle room for “emergency situations.” We’re at a loss to imagine the fire that doesn’t present an emergency situation, but we’re sure California’s army of environmental lawyers will be glad to help cities figure that out in court.
The preposterous rules come from the earnest regulators at the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board, which is supposed to stop pollution of our waterways and beaches.

Nothing new for California communists controlled government.
Unless you’re here illegally....in which case they’ll pay you
Kalipornia is simply insane.
‘set up 24-hour hot lines for people to report violations by their neighbors. ‘
Leftists really are Fascist.
Libs are control freaks and will bring the exact same thing to every State, if allowed.
These “people” would probably freak out at what was proposed today. It seems a trash truck had an accident and lost a lot of it’s load on the 5 freeway today. According to the report I heard on the radio, they were thinking of putting the trash into a pile and burning it. They better wait to make sure they bought their carbon credits.
Disguised communism. They hate the fact that you own a car or a house. They would love to confiscate it for the collectivity. But they can’t just yet. So they do something just as good. They take a significant chunk of something you own.
In the communist mind all property belongs to the collectivity.
Lol.
Well, .... forgetaboutit.... I just can’t stop laughing.
heh, heh, heh
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Fly. :-)

Yet no new penalties for robbery, murder, or rape?
Not surprising since in the liberal twisted mind, robbers, murders, and rapists are all “victims.” The REAL criminals are those evil dog poopers. Much better your daughter be raped and murdered than step in dog poop.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours too. :^)
Drive the peasants to extinction by regulating and fining them to death.
There actually is a 3 tier plan to open the prison doors and let out over 30,000 felons in California.
The least problematic will be released first, and the 3rd group includes violent felons & sex offenders.
Seems they think they have prison overcrowding.
Guess they will fill the cells up with people who try to wash their car at home.....
This is much better, and, if preserved properly, can last quite some time to ward off ADDITIONAL evil or bad behavior:

Well, if a building has no people in it, is it really an “emergency situation”? /sarc
