A Pennsylvania woman is fighting possible $500 daily fines for
posting a handmade crime watch sign in her window warning drug dealers
to stay away.
Canonsburg Mayor Bob Kipp says Cindy Davis received the notice of
having a "non-confirming sign in a residential area" after at least one
person complained the sign may be making it harder for neighbors to sell
their property.

The Observer-Reporter says the sign says, "Thank you CBG police. Neighbors watch for drug dealers. You will be turned in."
A district judge continued Thursday's hearing on the citation
indefinitely. The mayor says Davis could resolve things amicably if
she'd just take down the sign until January, when borough council is
expected to update and improve the sign ordinance.
Davis says she's fighting to publicize the Canonsburg Crime Watch Facebook group.
