OMG, I was laughing when I posted awhile back on the guy in England that had been burglurized 3x and so put up barbed wire. The government made him take it down because burglers might get hurt on it. (really). But now this, here:
The city of Newark, NJ has recently started to enforce a largely ignored 1966 law which bans barbed and razor wire, which businesses have put up in order to keep out burglars. It seems that passers-by on the sidewalk might get hurt by the pointy things that are 8 to 12 feet above them and also in order to beautify the city. Hopefully, Newark can return to its former glory as a tropical resort town now that all that nasty-looking wire is gone. However, as shocking and unpredictable as it seems, burglary rates have gone up 17% since 2007. (aceofspades)
