Woman refuses to water lawn....arrested.

[Seacrest]

[quote davester]Well jp!, your feigning of ignorance doesn't wash. Your thread title clearly implies that she was arrested for refusing to water the lawn and you provided no post content indicating otherwise. You are guilty as charged!
Jp! reports.
You decide.

[quote Pops]Most municipalities try sending those tickets/citations in a non-legal manner (ie: not served properly by a peace officer who guarantees identification, as in a subpena). Ignored, they have no legal standing, hence a final attempt is by an officer.

That said, I have NO opinion on whether they were "correct" in citing her or making an arrest.
Come on. Don't you even want to take a guess? :-)

[quote Pops][quote Marc Anthony]If the city wants to send you a fine, don't they typically do so through the mail? I'm wondering why an officer was on her property, physically grabbing her, without a warrant.
If you've seen pictures of her property, I'd guess that NUMEROUS mailed citations had been sent and ignored.

Watch PBS/POV's Flag Wars. I just did. Gives good idea WHY people have property violations and how they are used against people. It's sad in some ways. (Mental illness/physical illness, etc. )

That was one stupid cop.

Reading the end of the story explains it all.

"When police brass learned what happened, she was immediately released."

Isn't Utah in a drought? And they're ticketing people for NOT pouring water on something that shouldn't be growing there in the 1st place? Damn Mormons. I mean morons.
