Local police will side with the code officer. He is one of them. I have other experiences with the ones near me. I went to court over plants and flowers. They thought my plants were weeds. In court, my receipts and pictures of the plants proved otherwise. Like I said, they are dicks.

They measure the length of my grass a few times each year and check other shit since then. I have video outside. I catch them hopping my fence a few times a year. They lose on those cases too.
