Joseph Brandlin, who has lived in El Segundo for more than four decades, says he took matters into his own hands after months of trying to get the city officials to address safety concerns.
People taking down speed limits signs cause they want to go faster does not warrant the same response as people complaining that an intersection is unsafe and trying to improve it, and only because the city is basically ignoring them.
It’s exactly the same - someone is changing the signage without knowing what they’re doing. I don’t think he should be harshly punished in this case, especially if he’s right, but this also isn’t at all different from someone fucking with the speed limit signs because they feel they know best. That person may also be right - that doesn’t mean they should be able to make those changes.
No it’s not the same.

But it’s literally the same law, if they enforce one they have to enforce the other.
