[nagdu] Impressions Please?

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

More importantly though was the officer you encountered properly
diciplined? And if no, why not?

Hi Jenine,
No, I didn't pay the fine.  I went to the police station armed with the
copy of the county ordinance and the citation. the police officer at the
desk saw these and said, "That's stupid!". she called the officer who
cited me and told him that I had a copy of the ordinance and the
citation was voided.

I met my City Council member and his aide who I had spoken to about the
citation.  He told me that when he told poeple about me being busted for
violation of the pooper scooper law nobody believed him that the police
would do that to a blind person.  We had a good laugh over that!

Linda and Landon
