I lived in California most of my life, just moved to Texas in the last 3 years. Not surprised. Calabasas, CA is also a smoke-free city for a couple of decades now. I wish them luck enforcing the bans, the cops would rather spend their time preventing and solving real crimes than enforcing inane bans.
Well all other cities I would challenge, I won't mess with Bev Hills PD. Ummmmmm nope nah um ummmm.
I rarely go there anyway. Well ok maybe I would stealth vape if I were with say Sammuel L. Jackson,
or Steven Speilberg or well any other big names but me by myself nope um ummmm
Just tell the idiots you're a friend of Axel Foley and you'll be fine.
Just to think, back in WWll my dad fought for five years against dictats like that. The mayor doesn't have a short, thin, silly-looking moustache by any chance?

Somehow not surprised by this. Saddened, but in no way surprised. I'll have to remember to vape every chance I get there. The concept of police as law enforcement is laughable, we need a return to peace keepers and let them pursue issues of actual cause...
Beverly Hills is comprised of more than entertainers. But if the entertainment industry stood up and were more vocal, I don't think we would be getting pushed around like this.
This is not a Right vs. Left issue. It's a them against us issue. I don't care what your political leanings are, but to claim that only one group is responsible for poor decisions is very myopic. If we are constantly divided on arbitrary factors how can we ever hope to stand as one, this goes for the whole nation on many issues and not just this. The bipartisan system is about as good for this country as a monopoly is for economic growth and development....
My comment wasn't really about the Right and the Left.
But the left tries to express itself as the more open minded side, equality for all, and then levels more restriction on most everything.
Personally you couldn't paid me enough to live in CA. I'd rather be broke and live in Georgia.

So all the filthy rich folks in Beverly Hills will allow themselves to be pushed around? Just like normal working stiffs? Or will there be an exception for the filthy rich?
Yeah, and nice idea: have the police force spend their time on vaping violations. I bet the real criminals will love that. Nothing like breaking and entering, armed robbery etc in broad daylight - while the police are busy apprehending normal citizens for the horrible crime of using a personal vaporizer.

The Socialist Republic of Santa Monica is next, no surprise there (link broken, remove spaces):

Just one more reason that affirms my intention to never live in CA. (Same goes for NY & NJ)
I suspect they will leave the actual tickets to private "security" (mall cops), as they do with the "Transit Police" at train stations for "smoking violations". I have seen these guys hand out tickets as fast as they can write them at the bus station. They lurk behind the vending machines and descend on the passengers who light up during a 10 minute layover. There's always at least one transit cop in the bathrooms too, when there's money to be made, at $250 a pop ...
I know a guy who got one of these "citations" in the mail (for smoking on Amtrak property), after showing his ID to a transit cop. It has the full force of law, with a court date to contest it. He did, and lost (of course) ...
I've also seen transients refuse to show ID, which leads to an immediate arrest. Real cops come then and the fun begins ...
You can bet that each municipality carefully calculates the estimated revenue from each new restriction, as opposed to the cost of enforcement ...
Just a little reminder: left in today's america means socialist ~ communist. the only reason americans don't see a soviet union style of government in america is due to balance of power and republicans. Left is not more open minded, they're only open minded when it comes to their own benefits and interests. Example: they want illegal aliens become legalized because they cast their votes for themselves. On the same page: they don't want the religion of illegal aliens, mainly catholic, because that would drive them away from voting for their ill fated motivations like abortion.
So, I don't think words like "open minded" and "equality for all" would go hand in had with the left and its goals.
Anyways, this forum is not a political forum and should not be. Just a little reminder to our friend here shootist.
Happy vaping.
Yeah, I guess I'll be putting my Beverly Hills house up for sale. Me and Ellie Mae are movin back to Bug Tussle.......
Yep, it's one of the reasons I left! I don't even miss it, I only miss my sons whom I'm trying to convince to move out.
