Poll: What Do You Think of the New L.A. County Beach Ban on Certain Objects?

The board of supervisors has approved new restrictions on what can be done on L.A. County beaches and when. Violators can be fined up to $1,000.

Editor's Note: Updated Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012, 7:50 p.m. Due to inaccurate information in the article this poll was based upon, the actual fines are as follows: Up to $100 for a first violation; up to $200 for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year and a fine up to $500 for each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year. But, yes, you could stil be fined up to $1,000 if caught in the act on numerous occasions.

On Tuesday, Feb. 7, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance that identifies which flying objects are prohibited on the beach from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Frisbee, soccer balls and other objects that can be cast, tossed, thrown, kicked or rolled, including any ball, tube or light object other than a beach ball or beach volleyball can be fined as much as $1,000 if they're caught in the act.

There are exemptions. People can still play Frisbee (or any other game that requires throwing or kicking a ball, object or tube) in designated areas, if they have a permit from the director of the Department of Beaches and Harbors or permission from a local lifeguard or fire chief.
