Silly String is not illegal, it’s “illegal” so I wouldn’t worry about the “fine.”

(Who makes these “signs”?)

I wondered if this was a fake sign put up by a business, so I Googled “LAMC 56.02)” and found this on Wikipedia:

>> In 2004, Los Angeles Mayor James Hahn signed a council-backed ordinance (LAMC Section 56.02) to ban Silly String in Hollywood on Halloween night. The ordinance calls for a maximum $1000 fine and/or six months in jail for use, possession, sale or distribution of Silly String in Hollywood from 12:00 a.m. on October 31 to 12:00 a.m. on November 1

So, I guess this sign is legit, weird quotations marks and all.

#22…right on about the 12 AM and 12 PM thing. It has been a pet peeve of mine for years.

Note that the sign in the picture shows that it is on Hollywood Blvd. where they had 2 shootings last night. That’s real shootings, with guns and bullets, not Silly String.

Priorities, priorities, priorities….
