Kern County To Charge $1K Per Head "Cover Charge" At Unauthorized Teen Beer Bashes In Vacant / Foreclosed Homes

In Kern County, California, The Bakersfield Californian reports:
  • Kern County supervisors approved a $1,000 fine on individuals caught participating in an illegal party on private property. The nuisance fine was triggered by a rash of teen-powered parties in homes left vacant or abandoned by Kern County’s high foreclosure rates. The penalty “applies to any party held on any property without the permission of the owner,” said County Counsel Bernard Barmann. Each person caught at such a party would be subject to the $1,000 fine, Sheriff Donny Youngblood said.
