My son, who´s just under 6 feet tall, is holding two yardsticks stacked to show that the approximate height of the hedge is not much different than the six foot limit.

The grass may be long but it certainly does not
"exceed 8 inches in height"

The court was not interested in my pictures though they admitted the prosecution´s photos as evidence. I did succeed in using them to demonstrate that the prosecution´s photos had no adequate way of showing the height of the grass. For the hedge determination they insisted my foundation plantings were part of the hedge and compared them to roof height... as if the foundation of my house was in need of privacy, since that is the function of a "hedge".
