Re: 30.06 sign on one door, but not another

We all constanly say that if the sign does not meet these excat details, the sign is not valid. Now, in my opinion if a business had a sign posted lets just say with all the proper dimensions, colors, but is only in english and you were able to read english, a judge and jury would have just as much chance at convicting someone based on the agrument that "even though it wasn't perfect, you understood the intent of the business" as they would in saying "even though you entered through an alternate entrance and not the main entrance, your still breaking the law because the business had the proper signage posted at the main entrance." I think the law need to stat that every public entrance needs to be properly posted.

Before anyone says it, I completly understand that the law is VERY specific on the types of signs and vauge on locations of the sign, especially dealing with buildings with multiple public entrances. This was just a opinion of a possible agrument. But, like I started with, maybe I'm way off base.
Ones defense could be that one has learned to look for a a sign of certain size and in Spanish and nglish before even bothering to read it. If I see a sign that only has english and is about half the size of what we would reasonably expect a sign to be. I am not got to bother to read it. Just as a stop sign or speed limit sign is expected to have a certain form to be enforceable. Why should a 30.06 be enforcibleif the poster can't be bothered to do it right?
