There are many in L.A. who think there are far too many billboards and supergraphics dotting the landscape.<\/p>\n

But when one businessman was accused of illegally erecting a supergraphic on Hollywood Boulevard, the city attorney’s office didn’t mess around.<\/p>\n

Officials jailed Kayvan Setareh, 49, of Pacific Palisades on $1-million bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Setareh is accused of three
\nmisdemeanor city code violations, two of them related to the city sign
\nlaw — <\/p>\n

\"Talk<\/img><\/a>and as a result, the high bail amount has raised eyebrows.<\/p>\n

The arrest was an unusually aggressive move by Trutanich and comes less
\n than a week after the city attorney filed a separate lawsuit involving
\nmore than a dozen other supergraphics scattered across the city. Just
\ndays after that lawsuit was filed, workers used bolts and wire to wrap
\nthe new ad around the face of a 1928 office building on the northeast
\ncorner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue.
<\/br><\/p>\n

\n"The days of lax and inconsistent enforcement of billboard and outdoor
\nadvertising laws in this city are over," Trutanich said in a
\nstatement.<\/p>\n

What do you think about Trutanich’s action? Is he finally cracking down? Or it this overkill? Share your view.<\/p>\n
