Or will it happen?
You just never know with the various councils and the Government looking for ways to buildup their coffers.
Ignore the American constitution stuff, but the rest could very well happen here.

But first, a bit of a background to this story.
This man could lose his home because the grass in his yard grew higher than 10 inches according to the city of Dunedin, Florida.
According to the Institute of Justice, which is representing Jim Ficken, he had a very good reason for not mowing his lawn – and tried to rectify the situation as best he could.
In 2014, Jim's mom became ill and he visited her often in South Carolina to help her out. When he was away, his grass grew too long and he was cited by a code office; he cut the grass and wasn't fined.
But several years later, this one infraction would come back to haunt him after he left to take care of him's mom's affairs after she died. The arrangements he made to have his grass cut fell through (his friend who he asked to help him out passed away unexpectedly) and that set off a chain reaction that may result in him losing his home.
The 69-year-old retiree now faces a $29,833.50 fine plus interest. Watch the video to find out just what Jim is having to deal with.

The store, located on the southern end of the sprawling Mt Wellington mall, will take over from Countdown supermarket. The store, spanning 5000 square metres, could be the "first" of more 24/7 stores in the country. "For us, it's about offering better support to New Zealand families who are busy balancing work, family and leisure commitments; and more convenience for shift workers and people working non-traditional business hours," Kmart New Zealand country manager Jason Picard said. Sylvia Park is home to more than 200 retailers, including international brands H&M and Zara. Kmart has 530 stores spanning across New Zealand and Australia, with more stores to open across the country later this year.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

Fortunately retailers have recall lists they put online to advise customers on products they should return — mostly for their safety.
Here's a look at three of the most popular retailers - Kmart, The Warehouse and Farmers - to see which products customers need to return.
==========================================================
Currently, Kmart has 31 products on its recall list.
The Warehouse currently has 17 items on its recall list,
Farmers has 14 products on its recall list

I live beside a big round about that was created this year on Sel Peacock drive and Buscomb Ave, Henderson, Before the Roundabout was put in traffic travelling along either way on Sel peacock had the right of way, people in Buscomb Ave had to stop, I saw so many accidents where people both side of Buscomb Ave failed to stop and traffic either way on Sel peacock Drive were going far to fast. A large roundabout was put in earlier this year and the near misses are incredible, It appears no one one knows who has the right of way, even though there are "Give way" signs at the roundabout in all directions, No one follows the right hand rule, Give way to traffic on your right at all times. I have seen cars who legally have the right of way have to suddenly stop because person on their left thinks they have the right of way and hand hard on the horn. Cars coming along Buscomb Ave from the Church end come that fast and almost air borne when they hit the raised hump before the pedestrian crossing, look right past the parked cars at the Police station, they don't see the cars coming along the road because they are obscured by the parked cars, don't bother to stop and straight across the road in front of cars who had the right of way. It is not young drivers it is much olders who should know better. and also "Foreign drivers" who some how are aloud to drive on our roads and who have no idea at all. It really scares me being so close to the roundabout. May be when we renew our Drivers Licenses every 10 year we should sit the road code test.
