Is It Illegal To Sit On Your Roof

This is a form of coercion.

Is it illegal to sit on your roof.

I live in a college town in new jersey. Just sitting on their own roof. The hamilton city council s building safety manager says. I don t see anything wrong with sitting on your roof me and my cousin do it all the time its a free country man its your life and your desicions the cops won t aresst or fine.

No illegal activity was being done while on it. Stuff is reporting that property owners have been fined 1500 for allowing people to sit on their roof and watch car races. 2 the agents of the nanny state still intend to go around before future races and warn them that sitting on the roof is illegal. We were all just sitting enjoying the weather and listening to music.

1 sitting on your roof and watching a car race is still illegal. Nuisance also comes under common law. There were four of us on it and it was the roof above the porch in the front of the house. If the ball keeps hitting the roof at all hours of the night then it would be trespassing each time but would be actionable as a nuisance.

I m assuming for the sake of this answer the hypothetical roof sitter is not doing anything else such as using illegal drugs drinking underage threatening suicide etc. The infringement notice cited a clause of the building act that refers to using or permitting the use of a building for a use for which it is not safe. Today while sitting on my roof with a few friends a few cops pulled up and told us all to get off the roof. We get called for all manner of silly complaints.
