Litter is not a ''new rule''.
Public consumption is not a ''state law'' and Laconia doesn't hold tightly to any such ordinance... only public intoxication - which is a bit more than consumption.
As for being ''polite''; that is more of a social issue.
It isn't something that becomes enforceable until the ordinance. Which is what the new signs are about.
We work on people being ''polite'' as much as we can... but sometimes it has to become an ordinance. But we don't consider it ''bad behavior''... just an uniformed situation.
If I listed what I was taught on being polite, it would stun most people...
Many things I could do, but was taught never to do.
