Nuiances
The CFO and I took the Sam and Murphy for a walk around Sunset Lake today. It has a nice paved walkway of about 2 miles around shore of the lake, a reservoir for Apex city water.
Now, it's a popular place to take dogs for a walk. And, at periodic locations around the trail, signs are posted to the effect that you are responsible for attending to your dog's "nuiances" and that plastic bags are provided for that purpose.
Think there might be any lawyers involved with the governance of Apex?
Blackstone says a nuiances is "anything that worketh hurt, inconvenience or damage."
The legal beavers tell us that "a public nuisance is such an inconvenience or troublesome offence, as annoys the whole community in general, and not merely some particular person. To constitute a public nuisance, there must be such 'a number of persons annoyed, that the offence can no longer be considered a private nuisance: this is a fact to be judged of by the jury."
Apparently, dog poop qualifies as a public nuiance in Apex.
Hope nobody from Apex ever goes to Paris!
