They are not worth Disscussing. You have to see the violation, you have to turn it in to the Prosecutor, and then you have to try to talk him into doing something. I recieved a letter telling me the DNR and DHPA are not law enforcement agencies. Spotlight a Deer and then tell me that. A conservation Officer will go out and investigate a cemetery problem when he can, but he won't meet you there. I guess they don't want you to influnce his judgement You could build a house next to the cemetery before they get back with you, so that you can contact the prosecutor. Believe me, with 4 murder cases going on in Floyd County right now, and one an Ex State Trooper you would be as welcome as the Plague. It would be like throwing Gas on a roaring fire. He has his hands full feeding the Johnson Co. Jurors and taking them back and forth to the Holiday Inn. Our cemeteries are free of Prosecution this year no matter what Laws are passed (Laws or LAW) When you get your car stuck in the mud, you don't just sit and spin your wheels till the tires are gone. I for one am ready to quit. Good luck to you all ?? Jack Briles Floyd County
