Reed Bible leads vote to allow aerial photos to initiate building code violations

Reed Bible leads Will County Judicial Committee in vote to allow Aerial Photos to initiate Building Code Violations.

Reed Bible (Democrat), Jackie Traynere (Democrat), Ken Harris (Democrat) and Tom Weigel (Republican) voted to allow the Will County Land Use Department to use Aerial Photos to initiate Building Code violations.

Republicans Dave Izzo, Ragan Freitag, and Steve Balich voted to uphold your property rights. In my opinion use of Areial Photos is a violation of the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments to the Constitution as well as the Unalienable Rights granted in the Declaration of Independence. How far do you want government push into your privacy rights, and your property rights?

Land use now will continue to have the ability to find code violations on your property by using Aerial Photos. Will they start using drones to investigate your property for Code violations? Because of this vote there is no mechanism to stop Code officers from initiating a code violation based on findings from aerial photos.
