Not sure where your at but this years crop in IL has been insane. Thousands litter the roadways, often several of the same sign in the same spot. Its It's literally crazy.
Normally it is like that. On the 3 miles leading to my little dirt road I can normally find 50 signs for different offices. On that same road I found less than 5. And they were picked up by the time I voted yesterday afternoon.
If you guys are gonna grab campaign signs, be advised that some or most candidates reuse their signs in the next election. Some get pretty ouchie about someone taking their signs. I know for certain that it’s illegal to tamper with the signs unless they’re placed illegally.
When I was working with the Sheriff's office I mentioned the idea of using campaign signs as targets instead of just throwing them away to a supervisor. According to him, the signs are only fair game when whatever election they were for was over and the candidate did not make it clear the signs were wanted back. Like for what you said about reusing them next cycle. I am also fairly sure he and his officers do the same thing for when they don't shoot at the training ranges in the county.
