Making Fun Illegal

Frisbees and footballs are now illegal on Los Angeles County beaches. Tuesday legislation was passed that prohibits "any person to cast, toss, throw, kick or roll" any thing other than a beach ball or volleyball "upon or over any beach" as well as "in or over the Pcific Ocean", during summer. It does also allow for water polo.

Anyone who is caught with the "illegal materials" could be fined up to $1000. Ball throwing areas will be created, and it would also be possible to purchase a permit so that you could carry a ball or other sports equipment on the beach, or in the ocean. And during the rest of the year, anything goes.

The bill also makes digging holes, on the beach, deeper than 18 inches, illegal unless you have a permit for filming a tv show or movie.
