Used to be you were all right before Memorial Day and after Labor Day. Last year they moved it up to Columbus Day. Don't ask me how i know but i'm $25 poorer.

I find it hard to believe this is discrimmination. Did the cop follow you and wait for you to head to the beach and then ticket you? What is your basis for a dissrimination claim? Unless you have clear cut evidence don't throw that out there. You cheapen the people who have accually been discriminated against. Don't go the discrimination card unless you have proof.

Yeah Dave....I noticed alot of the signage on our local beaches has changed also....used to be before Memorial Day was ok now they are squeezing tighter and tighter......access is closing and it just, plain blows!!! Its the "Haves" and the "Have Nots"! It is wrong.....so screw them I say.....find every sleezy way you can to get around the system....any system and get what you need!

Cool, I just don't like seeing people throw around discrimination thing when they have no evidence what so ever. It does noone any good. Jesse Jackson is the king of doing that crap

Yup, same ole story. Man, I hate the parking tickets. I guess that it means I will have to buy a summer house to live in Barnstable County so I can park at fish anywhere I want.

Notaro, let us know when you buy and we will all register a vehicle there to save the two bills. Obviously though the cruiser is making one pass a day and your were there and the other cars were not. Probably the officer never came back. I doubt the Barnstable chief assigns an officer to drive to all the beaches, after all Barnstable probably has twenty or thirty beaches, and tag all the cars every day until the end of the month.
