That was my thought too. This doesn’t pass the sniff test. Something else is going on here IMO.
That’s my gut reaction. Small-town politics can be pretty savage.
OK. Lots of folks had posters of Farrah. Didn’t make her a great actress.
Honestly, I would hope the judge would throw the book at the arresting officers in this instance. This is very petty and nearly nine years after the fact.
This has blown up way out of proportion here.
How does a warrant even get issued for something like this?
Imagine all the people out there who could have been arrested if this were the deserved penalty.
There’s also a tenet of law, and I’m not sure if it applies here or if I’ll even be able to explain it properly, but if a rule is not enforced over a period of time it is considered to be null and void in an isolated instance like this. It’s like all those laws that are on the books from 75-150 years ago. They have not been enforced, and nobody is held to account for infractions involving them.
People aren’t as a rule tried for not returning their video rentals. The application of the law in this instance, is really a miscarriage of justice.
In a lot of people’s fantasies it did. :^)
That being said, she never really appealed to me. When she was all the rage, I kind of laughed at the idea.
My high school Chemistry teacher had the hots for Farrah. He was a middle aged, married, Mormon. We had a girl in class with the Farrah hair that sat in the front row. Amazing that teacher always forgot his textbook and had to come around the counter and read over her shoulder.
Nice guy... /s
He was smitten. I don’t think he was capable of malice. We put a Farrah poster inside the Periodic Table chart...pretty funny when he pulled that down. The girl was in on the joke. We could see her shoulders shaking from trying to stifle laughter every time he referenced her textbook.
Frankly, I suspect she committed Contempt of Cop, and they decided to punish her by process.
I would think our justice system has more important things to worry about, but I could be wrong...
“Lots of folks had posters of Farrah. Didn’t make her a great actress.”
Hah! You don’t get it, I wasn’t concerned about her acting talents!!
I also had a Farrah poster....
isn’t it past the statute of limitations, or is that gone too?
Now you've done it! There will be a traffic jam at the courthouse caused by attorneys seeking to file class actions suits.
