Here are the two pieces of legislation that this post is in reference to:

Impervious pertains to hard surfaces like concrete and blacktop, etc.

This article in the Whitehall News best describes their intents, at least insofar as City Hall views it:
I claim it is nothing more than an incursion, an infringement on your Constitutional right to liberty, as listed as God-given rights (not by man) in the U.S. Constitution.

Here is where Thomas Jefferson got that notion from:
“Most scholars today believe that Jefferson derived the most famous ideas in the Declaration of Independence from the writings of English philosopher John Locke. Locke wrote his Second Treatise of Government in 1689 at the time of England’s Glorious Revolution, which overthrew the rule of James II.
Locke wrote that all individuals are equal in the sense that they are born with certain “inalienable” natural rights. That is, rights that are God-given and can never be taken or even given away. Among these fundamental natural rights, Locke said, are “life, liberty, and property.”
Locke believed that the most basic human law of nature is the preservation of mankind. To serve that purpose, he reasoned, individuals have both a right and a duty to preserve their own lives. Murderers, however, forfeit their right to life since they act outside the law of reason.
Locke also argued that individuals should be free to make choices about how to conduct their own lives as long as they do not interfere with the liberty of others. Locke therefore believed liberty should be far-reaching.”

The 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides us our right to our home and property:
The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides that “[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
So too:
The Supreme Court holds that the Fourth Amendment protects homes and their curtilage from unreasonable searches without a warrant. However, curtilage is afforded less protection than a home. Absent “No Trespassing” signs or fences with locked gates, it is considered reasonable for a person (including a police officer) to walk from a public area to the obvious main entrance to the home using the most obvious path in order to “knock and talk” with a resident. But otherwise, government agents need consent, a warrant, or probable cause of exigent circumstances to enter a home’s curtilage.*

Here are examples of what your 4th amendment and the curtilage mean:


Where are we with our elected officials and their administration then? Here are three excellent charts to illustrate that:

By this chart it would appear this legislation puts us into the Authoritarian category of governance. EXACTLY as I have claimed for some time now.


The category of ‘the bad thing about’ under Republic…that is absolutely Whitehall.
The bottom line: When OUR government, who’re there to guarantee us our rights, not grant or take them away, start infringing on our inalienable rights, it is clearly tyranny and therefore clearly unAmerican, down to the bone. This is why I reject this legislation and ask my representatives on Council, that very American body who represent the citizens and not the Administration, and who act as the defense against those who would encroach on those citizen’s rights, to support the U.S. Constitution they swore an oath to uphold and vote NO to this anti-American incursion on our civil rights, those which I remind everyone are just as precious as those others they fight so strongly for: the 1st and 2nd Amendments. Thank you for your consideration.
*Camara v Municipal Court was the Supreme Court decision that backed up the 4th Amendment.
