Should basketball hoops be allowed on the street

Dear Editor,

If my son gets hurt playing basketball because I put the basketball hoop in the street, is the City of Kingman liable for his injury? Since code enforcement allows it there, can I use it there or is it a law that says that I can’t put it in the street, because I did.

It turns out to be beneficial because then no one can park in front of my house. It’s on a public street that is maintained by the city. Do I have to remove it due to insurance reasons? Until someone tells me that I can’t have it in the street I will keep it there, as all of the other neighbors have one in the street.
