Summary

Mark Koernke discussed a caller's (Pat from Missouri) ongoing legal battle with his city over code enforcement violations related to yard maintenance and garden plants. Pat described how he was cited for tall grass and rubbish after a shoulder injury, received an Alford plea resulting in probation, and faced continued harassment when code inspectors returned to photograph his property. Mark provided extensive advice on courtroom strategy, including bringing witnesses, preparing motions in advance, understanding procedural rules, and using landscaping tactics like trellises and garden borders to clearly designate plants as intentional gardens rather than weeds. The discussion covered selective enforcement, the adversarial nature of municipal courts, and strategies to defend property rights against what Mark characterized as revenue-driven local government overreach.
