Banned From Springfield Area Lakes?

[UnCivE]

Actually they can ban a person as it is private property owned by CU. When on their banned list you don't just get a ticket, you get arrested for trespassing. But I understand what you mean and the rules are simple to follow at these lakes and parks. I don't know how many times I had beeen to Fellows this year but one time comes to mind. There was a whole family fishing then it got hot and they ALL STARTED SWIMMING IN THE LAKE. I waited to see what would happen and patrol never came by for hours. My fishing buddy asked are they allowed to do that now days? All I could say that day was I don't think so and showed him the signs by the fishing dock.

Unless you have some official type correspondence (not word of mouth), I'd push the issue and see if anybody actually says something at the lake. It's my understanding that if it's not signed off (no trespassing) and it's an open to the public place, you'd need to be notified and given a chance to leave before you could be arrested. . .

Of course, if it really were me, the first thing I'd do is go get some real legal advice and take it from there.

Yeah got a lawyer talked to him about the whole deal most he could say is we could do a petty lawsuit for for defimation of character and try to get them for going outside the parameters of their patrol. CU refused to give us anything in writing and said that verbal notification is good enough as it private property. Yet I don't think they have the full story themselves. They said they are going to look into it further I will find out Monday or Tuesday if the Ban still stands. Maybe I'll get lucky and I can save on gas and get back to making this lure for fishing at Fellows and McDaniel.

Lol I get it. But it's not about the lures as much as being singled out and over something posted in a forum over the internet. Point I am trying to make is, where do they get the right to go online and decide that people should be put on a ban list for what they post. Halting my testing on my products and such was just a side effect from this. The anger came from the fact that I could not take my daughter to a place her and I share and had good times together. I don't always have the gas or time to drive to Branson Lake of the Ozarks or Pomme and Stockton. Maybe I should have kept it to myself in the first place but at least some people were entertained at some point by this and some were annoid. Sorry for the inconvenience or info which ever it may have been for all of you.

Your only problem is that you are going off what some rent-a-cop says. Nobody from the rent-a-cop headquarters can ban you from a public park. Grow a set and contact the people at City Utilities for Fellows and Springfield Park Board for Springfield lake. I'm sure they are unaware of people being banned.

Actually yes they can thats what theyre hired for. I know the job as I was a part of that system once long ago. Just call CU about it they will tell you how it is. Hell I seen people get banned from the entire bus system here in Springfield for breaking the rules. Sometimes the ban is for a short time sometimes it is longer. Having a set is not an issue either or I would not have posted on the subject though I was told not too. Trust I wasn't always so nice and having a bigger set then I have now would be all bad, lol.
