Bureaucratic Sign Bullies

Behold the 21st Century! Bureaucratic Sign Bullies post edicts everywhere.

Frequently without statute or regulatory authority cited the signs just require compliance from one and all.

The Education Building in downtown Raleigh has one of the most impolite and draconian edicts of any government building in the city.

What top secret secrets do they protect to require taxpayers to identify themselves to anonymous bureaucrats just to enter the lobby?

Hit the pause button frequently to savor the full menace communicated by these government edicts.

Notes on the signs:

#1 A small North Carolina town where main street is filled with abandoned unoccupied storefronts.

Not content with the havoc city fathers wisely advertise to all visitors the hostility with which they regard any violation of RULES by nailing their edict 15 feet up the only tree in a postage stamp sized park in the middle of post apocalypse America.

Nothing says welcome like County Ordinance No 4!!

#2 The City Of Raleigh is Capital of North Carolina.

Hence you cannot swing a dead cat in any direction without hitting a government building.

Alone amongst that forest of government largesse resides the "pink palace" aka the Education Building.

And equally alone among all those buildings are signs that DEMAND identification from all who enter. By what statute, ordinance or regulation is this demand demanded?

Not yours to ask, citizen! Just come prepared to comply!

And see if you can see the nearly invisible, transparent "No Weapons" sign directly below the highly visible identification requirements.

It is there. Freeze frame to spot it.
