Florida’s Third District Court of Appeals has just made a landmark ruling that the Institute for Justice is calling “a major blow to property rights.”
Tom Carroll and Hermine Ricketts, 17-year homeowners, have been fighting the Village of Miami Shores for the last 6 years. The battle ended in a verdict after 3 years but they fought on. It all started back in 2014 when the couple refused to take the “advice” handed down to them by the town officials keen on implementing a new zoning plan.
The homeowners refused to relinquish their constitutionally protected rights. That is when town officials resorted to plan b.
The couple subsequently sued based on a constitutional infringement upon their right to use their own private property as well as a violation of the equal protection clause.

Question can they grow the vegetables in there back yard ?
The U S Constitution is supreme law of the land! No state has the right, to over ride it with their BS!!! I wouldn’t stop growing my food, and if ANY state or federal employee tried to destroy my crop, they’d be getting an ass full of rocksalt!!!!
Once again F–k the courts and the system, I’ll grow what ever the hell I want to
You can’t deny the fundamental rights of people to grow their own food.
I am assuming this will go on to the Supreme Court.. In any case, should famine hit the Land, no one should feel obligated to feed this lame brain atty. Honestly, who is he? How old is he? Same question for the court? Are their pockets being lined by whoever owns the GMO company now?
The America we once knew is being chipped away day by day……soon we will have no say about anything. The evil is taking over our nation little by little. God help us + + +
I would send the judge my vegetable receipts,let him pay for his decision, as a public servant does he have the authority to decide how one uses their owned property?
We will, NOT comply !
If, like is now law, you can p**p and pee on a public street, then I will grow a tomato on my privately owned property.
If I want to grow something on my property, that’s legal, I’m going to grow it, and I’m not asking anyone if I can.
