"Carne asada is not a crime"

Indeed, it is not!
Those are the words of one Phil Greenwald, an attorney for LA's taco truck operators, quoted here.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office said yesterday that it won't appeal an August ruling rejecting a law that would have required taco truck operators to move every hour or face $1,000 fines and possible jail time.
"After all, they're not selling porn, they're not selling drugs, all they're selling is food," Greenwald told the Associated Press.

Anybody who says the taco trucks aren't harming anybody needs to have one parked outside their own business for a while. For us, they attract drunks; the drunks attract hookers; when they're done, they leave their beer bottles and condoms everywhere, not to mention taking up parking spaces that your own customers could have used.
God, I wish we could get a law like this one in Fort Worth.
