This Is so Pathetic

From what I gathered from just that article the woman refused to give information to the police when they asked, and apparently resisted the officer, both of which will tend to make cops very mad.

Whooo, don't want to make the cops mad.

Since we are both putting our own spin on this & don't actually know this
lady (you don't do you?) I think she has the right to decide how she
wants to spend her SS check. Perhaps she prefers bottled water to tap
water? Supposed she thinks it's wasteful to be watering her lawn when
she could use her money for food, rent, medicine or whatever?

There is abosolutely no reason to manhandle an elderly lady for such a
trivial offense when a ticket & infomation on the law would suffice.
Sounds like the Gestapo is alive & well in Orem, Utah.

interesting that the attorney representing her is Gloria Allred - she must be doing it pro bono if the lady's water has been off for nine months.

She might be or she might be court-appointed. If the lady didn't have a lawyer, the courts would give her one so that she would have some representation.
