Someone has to get fired for this...right?
I just saw this on the Fox News site. I was tempted to mention John Ashcroft in my subject line, but I decided against it.
Minutiae of Metro Incident? A government scientist making her way into a D.C. subway station has been arrested by famously aggressive D.C. Transit Police. The scientist, 45-year-old Stephanie Willett, tells the Washington Post that police followed her into the station, pushed her into a cement wall, called for backup, patted her down, handcuffed her and then threw her in jail. So what exactly did Willett do? Well, before going into the station, she popped the last bite of a PayDay candy bar into her mouth and threw the wrapper away. But transit officials insist that because she was still chewing when she got inside, she was violating Metro's no-eating policy. Willett has since been released, and issued a $10 fine, pending a hearing. |

I'm on the side that basically complied in the first place, and the cop was way out of line for pursuing her. Once the candy was in her mouth and the wrapper was thrown away, nothing after that should have happened. |
