If you know the businesses intent I think that means one has been notified to not oc there. I wonder what pushing the envelope will really accomplish.
I thought the intent with the way the law was written about letter sizing, placement and color scheme was to prevent owners from hiding their 30.06/30.07 sign in tiny font, hidden from plain view and expecting police to pursue violators. Well, when the OP allegedly saw the sign, and walked right past it, he got the message. That's the distinguishing factor about this one. Had the OP not seen the sign and walked in, I'm sure there wouldn't have been an altercation with the police. The police would have just said that there is a sign, and you're not welcome here. I'm sure the police really hate responding to idiots that intentionally do something they know will get a rise out of the police, then getting there to listen and argue about semantics of a sign.
I went to IHOP this weekend and they had a 30.07 sign posted on 8.5X11 on the door walking in. Not a "legal" sign, but I got the message.
