Trouble flared when Utah pensioner Betty Perry, 70, refused to give her name after being upbraided because her garden breached local regulations.
She says the officer hit her with handcuffs, cutting her nose, although police insist she slipped and fell.
Ms Perry said she was "distraught" after the incident.

Man, with that crazy law suit culture in the States, that woman is
going to get tons of cash... or the cop will get the cash for being
placed under severe stress due to his challenging job 😕

and their authority, sheesh
Too weird, something's fishy here. Unless the cop was having a psychotic breakdown and went nuts, the story is unbelievable, there's more going on here than the lady's version of things.
I'd hold off on making any judgements just yet, it sounds like a lot of facts are missing.

If the lawn gets over 4 inches high the grass length commissioner bolts a nasty letter on our door. I got a love letter from the boro a few months ago for daring to have a piano on our porch. It seems only OUTDOOR furniture is allowed on your own porch. How about that for big brother and can you wonder why we want out of this black hole of culture?

Originally posted by sonhouseSounds a bit harsh to be honest, I would have thought that as long as your yard is not a mess, a piano on the porch should be fine, but then again I don't live their.

Next they will be telling you which colour to paint your house, or what stones to use in your driveway.......
Originally posted by knightwestPossiable, but then again you never know do you, his word against hers......but how many old ladies get into fistcuffs with the Police ?
or maybe she slipped and fell, and is trying to take the cops to the cleaners and ruin the officer's career?
is it possible?
Wait, Utah, if I'm not mistaken, is desert, she, inadvertently even, conserves water and is approached and arrested by police? Fair enough, you shouldn't be able to leave a pile of horsecrap fermenting on your dead cat collection in your front lawn if it's council housing or something, but just cause she didn't water it?!

Otherwise it makes the surroundings look disorganised.
However, I believe that litering in Singapore carries the death penalty.
