Women receives bill after making restroom pit stop
NBC ^ | 2/28/13 | NBC

A license plate gives police a whole lot of information about you, and law enforcement is supposed to protect those details. However, one local sheriff admits he gave a driver's name and address away, and the reason he did it is downright bizarre.

The sheriff’s action was not just disturbing, but illegal. It’s official misconduct, invasion of privacy, and a possible violation of the 4th amendment (unreasonable search and seizure). I’d sue Houston County for a boatload of money, and demand the sheriff lose his job as well.

/not a frivolous lawsuit, especially since the sheriff says “it happens every day”.

Hey there, Mr. Sheriff. Could you please provide the Penal Code section that you thought had been violated? (I didn't think so.)

This is the problem with random checkpoints, et. al. There is no probably cause for the police to detain someone from driving down the road. And yet, 'Papers please...' and we're just supposed to go with it because, if you're doing nothing wrong, you will comply (give up your Constitutional rights and just be conditioned to answer to arbitrary authority).

His “thank you for letting me use your bathroom” was diarrhea all over the toilet and floor.

When you gott'a go, you gott'a go. But there is no excuse for failing to at least try to clean up after an accident.

Somewhere in the story it says the couple had a restraining order out on someone else (unrelated to the story) and valued their privacy. The sheriff’s actions could have endangered them and if they were assaulted, or worse, he would have been culpable. Who’s policing the police?

Oh man...been there done that. The scene from Apocalypse Now comes to mind (and I now live by it)...”Don’t ever get out of the boat!” I fill up and take a bathroom break in Miami or Naples (depending which way I go) and don’t stop anymore...too many things crawling around out there at night!!

Yeah, no way I would have left that for someone else to clean up. I could have even understood if the bathroom was situated differently and he could have dropped his load anonymously. But to walk past everyone standing there without a word or apology sure seemed like a definite “**** you”.
