“I’m walking around in a green and white jump suit, I had to shower in front of a sheriff, I was shackled, my wrists were handcuffed to my waist — for siding,” Faber told KSTP. 




“Code enforcement is an important part of making sure all neighbors can take pride in their neighborhoods,” he said in a statement to Fox News. “The city agrees it unfortunate that this situation was not able to be resolved in typical fashion.”


If they are doing that to a private homeowner, then they should arrest the slumlords as well. I haven't heard of enough slumlords being forced to follow codes. Is it because the slumlords are also the people running the towns? Who goes to jail when empty foreclosures become dilapidated?
