    She wasn't fined under any such law. She was fined under the policemen's best friend, "disorderly conduct", which basically means you did something that pissed them off and they found a way to fvck you for it.

    Yea... The disorderly conduct ordinance is a an abomination of a law...It gives law enforcement officers way too much latitude and they stretch it and twist it to apply in absurd manners. It is unfortunate that we appoint people to positions of authority (Police, Prosecturots, Judges, etc. . .) who later abuse that power against the people who appointed them, and who pay their salaries. Our system is seriously flawed, but is the lesser of all evils thus far.
