How to deal with the Law
So you've gotten a letter that tells you you're in violation of the law, what do you do?
First of all you need to realize that the law is the law. You can be fined if you do not comply. I would advise you to comply as ordered. The letter will typically state that you have until X day to remove the chickens at which time your property will be inspected to assure you have complied with the order. According to the Code Enforecement Officer for Bountiful City, Davis County Animal Control is contracted to provide that inspection. Remember, the law is the law. Remember, the law is the law. Remember, the law is the law and that is why you have to get rid of your chickens but remember...When a government offical or representative comes to your property to "inspect" the legal term for that is "search." When a government offical comes to your home or property and takes something of yours, the legal term for that is "seizure." Very strict search and seizure laws have existed since the day's of our founders. You do not have to allow anyone access to your property or home without a warrent. It is within your legal right to insist law enforcement officals leave your property unless they have a warrent.
