But new laws to selectively enforce will fix it! Then we can collectively shockedpikachu when the abuse tools we hand law enforcement are used to abuse the next out-group. Or just poors, they're always a safe target.

If you can’t be bothered to clean the snow and ice off the top of your car then you shouldn’t be allowed to drive until spring.

Reply to February 24, 1914 Joshua Chamberlain, the Lion of the Round Top, former Governor of Maine and Bowdoin College President passed away in Portland, Maine from complications of wounds he suffered in battle. Said to be the last casualty of the Civil War. by Unionforever1865
Battle of Little Round Top at Gettysburg
>The left flank consisted of the 386 officers and men of the 20th Maine regiment and the 83rd Pennsylvania. Seeing the Confederates shifting around his flank, Chamberlain first stretched his line to the point where his men were in a single-file line, then ordered the southernmost half of his line to swing back during a lull following another Confederate charge. It was there that they "refused the line"—formed an angle to the main line in an attempt to prevent the Confederate flanking maneuver. Despite heavy losses, the 20th Maine held through two subsequent charges by the 15th Alabama and other Confederate regiments for a total of ninety minutes.[16]

>Chamberlain (knowing that his men were out of ammunition, his numbers were being depleted, and his men would not be able to repulse another Confederate charge) ordered his men to equip bayonets and counterattack. He ordered his left flank, which had been pulled back, to advance in a 'right-wheel forward' maneuver. As soon as they were in line with the rest of the regiment, the remainder of the regiment would charge akin to a door swinging shut. This simultaneous frontal assault and flanking maneuver halted and captured a good portion of the 15th Alabama.[17] While Chamberlain ordered the advance, Lieutenant Holman Melcher spontaneously and separate to Chamberlain's command initiated a charge from the center of the line that further aided the regiment's efforts

thank you for some decent input.

The Gendron "families" already own or control most of Lewiston and Auburn. Their influence reaches much further than the property they own. If David doesn't want the property, it's because the hazard waste disposal costs will outweigh the potential profits.

Park and rides, Walmart, shopping malls that have a 24/Hr gym attached.

They do, it just doesn’t specifically mention ice or snow. Just firewood, logs, etc. (it does say “including but not limited to” but that means nothing else is going to be enforced)

Look up boondocking in Maine. Lots of free places to park and camp, just have to move every 2 weeks.

walmart or a rest stop

I’m seeing so much of this driving around this morning. I’m a small person, but still manage to clear my SUV off completely, with a telescoping broom. Yes, it’s a pain sometimes, but necessary. I’ve had clumps of icy snow hurtled towards my windshield a few times and it’s scary, as well as dangerous. Clean your damn vehicles off!

Try not to park in the same place too many nights in a row. It's best to rotate. Pull in as late as you can, and leave as early as you can in the morning.
Walmart, cracker barrel, and home depot generally allow overnight parking. Call the specific stores to ask permission if you don't see anyone else parked there. Usually you'll notice a bunch of vans and RVs parked at the back of the lots.
Other ideas - truck stops, rest stops, neighborhoods with a lot of street parking, streets near apartments, or apartment parking lots that are plenty large/ near businesses, and any business that's open 24/7.

Not much of an atmosphere, but you won’t have trouble at a wal-mart parking lot. Plus you can grab supplies/bathroom access.

Walmart parking lots typically aren't a bad idea

I hate government and telling people what to do but this is one instance where it’s needed. If you’re too lazy to clean off your car before you drive it out, don’t be driving. I’ve had chunks of snow/ice fly off and almost destroy my windshield.

Yeah...that might be what they mean by "ambiguous language". I can definitely see them pulling over people because they see just a small coating. But that's if they even enforce the law at all to begin with.

Reply to Looking for the artist by Reppoc1
It’s nice but you will never find the artist. They were mass produced and usually signed with a fake name. I have a couple myself that I love. Reminds me of growing up in the 90’s

And in PA it’s Christine’s law. I think a good rule of thumb would be when governments start having to name safety laws after people, everyone should just adopt said laws without waiting for their own martyr to die and lend their name.
