Municipalities — junk vehicle ordinances

John Knaus, pro se, appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered on a jury verdict, for thirteen municipal ordinance violations. Knaus argues the trial was unfair, the evidence supporting his convictions was insufficient, and the Town engaged in discriminatory prosecution. He also contends his First Amendment right was violated and the forfeitures were excessive. We reject Knaus’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
