I bet they drive over the speed limit on a day basis! (which is breaking the law)
I bet they didn't report the income they made from their garage sale to the IRS.....breaking the law.
Let some type of trash fly out of their car window...


Im sure this list I started could go on and on...

Chickens are no worse than cats and or dogs...IMO.

Lol, the list goes on and on. Leaving your RV parked in the drive, not cleaning your fence on a timely basis leaving your trash cans in your driveway, and needing a permit to built anything , and i mean anything, a pool, a patio, you name it. The funny thing is, for every acre we own, we can have a horse. lol.
