Related: About this forumWhat are the laws about yard signs?
A neighbor had three Hillary signs in her yard. A Trump supporter neighbor told her that the law only allows one sign, and he was going to call the police.
My neighbor is scared and took all the signs down. Is there such a law? I'm in Ohio btw

Tell her to put the signs back up, although personally I find more than one obnoxious (unless your house has two different streets where the yard is visible). But for that guy.....put more out!

Her Trump neighbor has one Trump sign and another sign that says Lock her up!! He knows that lady is timid and he bullied her into removing them.

(360 posts)The Trump supporter knew the one to pick on. He's outnumbered on our street (around 30 homes) with 23 neighbors (including me) who have Hillary signs.

Well, then, I'm not too worried....

Especially to a neighbor you are defining as "timid".
Thanks.

(2,573 posts)guarantee you that. I would love to call these assholes and pretend I'm a neighbor who witnessed this and who lives on the next block. Let me know if you want that to happen.

(2,573 posts)gentleman confirmed that you can have as many signs as you want and long as it's far enough away from the road etc.

(60,339 posts)Look at the Trumpers, they all have 2 or more, never just one.

That Trump supporter is trying to intimidate your neighbor. It's unfortunate that it worked. She could check with the police herself.

A redneck down the road from me has a Trump shrine in his yard. It's weird.
