My neighbor has a Thai restaurant that got into trouble for removing a conditional pass placard. That wasn't too smart but who can blame her? That's like the kiss of death for restaurants. There's a $2000 fine for removing the signs. I'm not a big fan of the system or institutionalized public humiliation.
