I did not think it was legal for the police to pull you out of your house and take you to jail unless they have an arrest warrant. She might be able to sue them for enough money to pay her water bill.

sadly, from what I read, I think they arrested her for not identifying herself; which the SCOTUS upheld a citizen is required to do. Who knows. Society sucks.

Hi everyone,
It seems all of you are missing some aspects of the situation. She wasn't arrested for failing to water her lawn. The office was simply writing her a ticket for that. The reason she was arrested were for her refusal to give her name to the officer and walking away from him as he attempted to give her the ticket. The arrest itself had nothing to do with her failure to water the lawn.

Why do you think I missed that? I stated the same thing. In the post above yours.

JP,
Yups. I missed that. Yet, you still didn't change your headline, which is misleading.

I can't quote the whole thing in a headline. Plus, I learnT my tactics from local tv news!
I did not state she was arrest FOR refusing to water her lawn.

No. you didn't.
You said that she was arrested for not identifying herself.
RM said she was arrested for not giving her name to a police officer who was writing her up for a violation.
Those are two completely different things. If you are minding your own business and a cop asks you to identify yourself, you should be able to walk away if he can't give you a reason.
If a cop is asking you to ID yourself because he just caught you breaking the law, then you ID yourself, or risk the consequences.

I think the four dots covers that. Maybe...maybe not.
