Thats it?? in Newyork if you are in Park after hours where the board is hidden or dusty or what ever same process, 

if you are riding a bicycle on the pavement no one will come and say excuse me, simply put a case on you and your headache to move around courts for life long.

RIDING my bike through Central Park late one night during the summer, I was stopped by the police. The fresh-faced officer behind the wheel of the blue-and-white cruiser scrutinized my license and then quizzed me on my address. I told her where I lived.

“That is incorrect,” she said, reading the right answer to me before I could try again.

“Oh, that’s right!” I replied, smiling weakly. “That’s actually my parents’ address. I guess I put that one instead. Go figure.”

She stared at me, brow furrowed, and asked, “Why did you put an address that’s not your address?”

“Oh, yeah, well, because I’m not, or I wasn’t, sure how long I’d be staying at the place I’m living now. After I came back from California, my license expired, so I got a New York one, and I guess I thought I should kind of put a more, you know, lasting address and stuff.”

I fleetingly considered sharing the full story of my rather amusing interview at the Department of Motor Vehicles a few months earlier, but a glance at her stern expression made me change my mind.

She asked me to step aside while she checked to see if I was wanted for anything other than the offense she had stopped me for: trespassing. You see, the park is closed from 1 to 6 a.m., and violators of the curfew face arrest. But since there was no warrant out for me, and I didn’t appear to be breaking any other laws, not to mention the fact that I came off as genuinely clueless, she sent me on my way with only two summonses: for unlawful park entry and for disobeying signs.

“What signs was I disobeying?” I asked.

“The ones on lampposts,” she replied. “Six feet above ground level. You can find them all over the park.”

“Really?” I said.

“The judge wants to see you,” she told me. “And should you fail to appear in court on the date given, there’ll be a warrant out for your arrest.”

I’d gone into the dark woods of Central Park on the well-lighted 72nd Street Park Drive an upstanding citizen, trying to reduce my carbon footprint while getting some exercise and saving a few dollars. Next thing I knew, one of New York’s finest was threatening arrest, drawing me into the labyrinth of the city’s criminal justice system.

According to the city’s annual criminal court report, more than half a million summonses are issued in New York each year. From 2004 to 2007, the most generously bestowed pink slips went to those cited for having open containers of alcohol. Disorderly conduct came in a close second, while unlawful park entry and disobeying signs placed among the top 10, with nearly 20,000 summonses handed out yearly for each.

But there are offenses and there are offenses. And in New York, there’s no shortage of signs spelling them out — telling New Yorkers to clean up after their dogs, to go easy on the honking and, posted conspicuously in every subway car, to refrain from assaulting subway personnel — “a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison.”

 

Though I found a “Park Closes at 1 a.m.” sign in the vicinity of most entrances of Central Park, these forest-green, Frisbee-sized disks would score embarrassingly low under the category of “eye catchingness” in a signage contest. Gecko-like, they are camouflaged in daylight, and at night under the glare from lampposts, they’re barely silhouettes, which is why almost everyone in the 20/20 community I asked about the signs had never taken note — a testament to the shortcoming of the signs that I felt quite sure the judge would be eager to hear about.

For two months I pictured my date with the judge and how I would make my case. When the day came, I bounded up the marble courthouse steps at 346 Broadway, signed in, and was sent to a room filled with crowded pews facing the judge’s chair, behind which the gold-lettered words “In God We Trust” sparkled brightly. (Now here was a sign no one could miss.)

The 100 or so unsmiling offenders represented just about every ethnicity and race — a kind of United Nations of the innocent-until-proven-guilty. I wondered what their stories were.

Then in came the judge, along with an attorney and a court officer. The officer instructed all to rise when she introduced his honor and ordered us to stop talking and remove all hats in a tone reminiscent of after-school detention.

She then began her routine of calling out each offender’s name, followed by a code number and the offense itself, so that all present knew why everyone else had been summoned. The offenses cited included reckless driving, unreasonable noise, bike on sidewalk, unlawful possession of marijuana and unauthorized presence.

Finally, I heard my name. But the judge, who at that point was engrossed in some reading material, didn’t seem particularly eager to see me after all. Instead of the high-level meeting of minds I had imagined, an event for which I had donned a jacket and tie, the attorney at my side told me I was dismissed. (Was it my air of innocence or just the ho-humness of my case?)

TAKING that to mean I was free to go, I began walking toward the door, 

abandoning the cause of clearer signage in the interest of a quick getaway. But the lawyer summoned me back.

“Not so fast,” he said. “Your case is A.C.D.” — adjournment in contemplation of dismissal — “and if you don’t get in trouble for six months, it’ll be dropped. So be careful with those signs, O.K.?”

I said I would be careful with the signs. Now, whenever I make a late-night cross-town journey on my bike, I ride on the transverse road with all the cars whizzing past, content knowing that, dangerous though it may be, I am obeying the law of this particular land.

the act?

According to Marin County Parks Rules and Regulations, picking flowers – or, more specifically, damaging, injuring, collecting, eating, or removing “any plant, tree or other type of vegetation, whether living or dead, including, but not limited to, flowers, mushrooms, bushes, vines, grass, turf, cones, or wood within parks” – is a misdemeanor. There’s also a California state law that makes it a misdemeanor to “cut or remove any plant growing on state or county highways or public lands except by authorized government employees and contractors

Just look which state you residing and pluck flowers accordingly 😁

That's well said but that power only Judge has...so if he thinks you are innocent then you won't charged 50$ fine or you charged 50$ fine but you need to be honest in your applications that u r arrested 😂😀
