I have spoken with the organizer of such an effort in the Spring area. The Harris County Attorneys office will work with volunteers to prosecute and fine the offenders (people who put up bandit signs). But first they require that the volunteers take a class about the laws regarding signs, the process for filing complaints, etc. If anyone is interested in joining this effort, please send me a private message. A class is currently being formed. There must be twenty people signed up to make a class. (From what I understand, it is pretty simple to file a complaint. It involves taking photos of the signs, recording the addresses, and filling out a simple form. Because of the effort of the Spring group, one litterer was recently fined $34,000. Their record is a $108,000 fine. 4951

@ctl74: I'm thinking they are the signs put by intersections - Buy house/no down payment - business signs on the side of the road. Whole bunch by NP & 494. It's free advertising and makes the intersection look bad. 4951

The ones that annoy me the most are the election signs that stay up for months and maybe even years (I know where there is a Pat Lykos sign for DA and that was a few years ago) after the is over and done.  they should be required to take them down. 4951

I hate the signs... they trash up the community. They must use a ladder to put some of the ones up on light poles. Saw one the other day advertising for a nanny.... seriously? Sitting at the light at Northpark and 494 and saw a guy jump out of a pickup truck, rip down a paper garage sale sign from a light pole, throw it on the ground, and tack up his carpet cleaning sign. Ugh. 4951

No free advertisement allowed, instead lets ask busy people to take classes for no payment on how to bust people putting signs up so state can fine the 34,000 dollars forcing them to go on welfare...maybe it would be easier to just rip the signs down and reuse them for those nasty garage sales we are not allowed to have. .lol. 34 grand, really? From a nanny or a martial arts instructor or a cleaning service???? Try 100 bucks....but 34 grand...lol 4951

I agree with @Burnsway. If they bother you, just pull up the signs if you see them and have 5 seconds to spare. If you don't, then don't. 4951

While I agree that some signs are an eye sore, some sign nazis go over board. Several years ago I caught some dillwad removing my lost dog sign. I was livid. I had just put them out and was driving around looking for my dog when I caught him red handed. Because of this I can never support sign nazis. Sorry op, you are on your own on this. 4951
