Here’s the original story.
Charges against the woman who planted a vegetable garden in her front yard have been dropped, her attorney said Thursday. But other charges against Julie Bass have been resurrected for not having licenses for her two dogs — even though she took care of that issue, lawyer Solomon Radner said.
“This is really nothing other than a personal vendetta against the Basses either because somebody doesn’t like them, or because they had the nerve to fight this unjust prosecution,” said Radner, who plans to file a motion to dismiss.
[...]
“Based on the games the city has been playing, I would not put it past them to drop the charges just to get the media off their back.”He reported Bass got licenses for her dogs after she was charged in June, and showed the paperwork to officials. Typically, cases are closed after the issue is addressed. But Radner spoke to an Oak Park city attorney colleague who informed him that the dog license charge is not dead against Bass, something he called “a very dirty move.”
Misdemeanor charges — including failure to have a dog license — typically carry a 93-day jail sentence, Radner said.
Potential 93 days for no dog license? Insanity! Littering probably gets you life! Sounds like time for a regime change in that town!
I may be wrong but I think the state of TN imposes some sort of limit on what a municipality can do to people. The people elected to run this police state municipality are nuts. This is not a good place to live.
Mmmmmm. Soilent green.
#4… Wouldn’t nine be oddly divisible by three… i mean well… it comes out even but isn’t that odd?
…never mind
Praline: What’s that then?
Clerk: This is a dog license with the word ‘dog’ crossed out and ‘cat’ written in, in crayon.
Praline: Man didn’t have the right form.
Clerk: What man?
Praline: The man from the cat detector van.
Clerk: The loony detector van, you mean.
Praline: Look, it’s people like you what cause unrest.
Clerk: What cat detector van?
Praline: The cat detector van from the Ministry of Housinge.
Clerk: Housinge?
Praline: It was spelt like that on the van. I’m very observant. I never seen so many bleedin’ aerials. The man said their equipment could pinpoint a purr at four hundred yards, and Eric being such a happy cat was a piece of cake.
Clerk: How much did you pay for this?
Praline: Sixty quid and eight for the fruit-bat.
Clerk: What fruit-bat?
Praline: Eric the fruit-bat.
Clerk: Are all your pets called Eric?
Praline: There’s nothing so odd about that. Kemel Attaturk had an entire menagerie called Abdul.
Clerk: No he didn’t.
Praline: Did!
Clerk: Didn’t!
Praline: Did, did, did, did, did and did!
Clerk: Oh all right.
Praline: Spoken like a gentleman, sir. Now, are you going to give me a fish license?
Clerk: I promise you that there is no such thing. You don’t need one.
Another OBHUBS.

She needs to setup a vegetable juice stand in her front lawn and give out free juice to her neighbors and collect legal fee donations!
