Kenneth Qualls claims he had permission from on high to give the toddler a $2,500 public urination ticket in November 2012 after the boy began to pee in front of his house.

An Oklahoma cop canned for citing a 3-year-old boy for peeing outside is now suing the city of Piedmont for unfairly flushing his career.

Kenneth Qualls claims he had permission from on high to give little Dillan Warden a $2,500 public urination ticket in November 2012 after the tot unzipped in his pants on Ryan Drive.

The prohibited pee was on private property, the boy’s mother, Ashley Warden, said at the time.

"I said really, he is 3-years-old, and [the officer] said it doesn't matter – it’s public urination,” the boy’s grandmother, Jennifer Warden, told KWTV News 9 at the time.

But about 10 days after the ill-advised ticket, Qualls was dumped from the department, The Oklahoman reported.

During the 2012 pissing match, the officer was even called “stupid” by the city’s mayor, furthering muddying his reputation, the suit claims.

Yes some states to have on the books the age that some one can be held accountable.

OK...

i read what the officer said..

with that in mind, i make the following determinations..

1) the childs mother is an a$$hole..
2) the police officer is an a$$hole..
3) the officers supervisor is an a$$hole..
4) the supervisors supervisor is an a$$hole..

conclusion..
mother should be made to pay the fine..
officer has no business being an officer, should be fired..
officers supervisor is a spineless weasel, should be fired..
supervisors supervisor has no common sense or ability to judge a situation, should be fired..
this city has way too many cops and way too few crimes, force should be downsized..

did i miss anybody????

Or vice versa. The child’s parent told the kid to pee on this yard. hmmm.

Age two? I remember being about six or seven and urinating behind a huge dirt pile than was behind a friends house. Lots of housing construction going on at the time. My friend's mother saw me (I don't know how), and squealed to my mother. Think I cared? My mother didn't do anything except chide me a little.

All of us did it (urinated outside) when we thought nobody was looking. Of course, this was almost sixty years ago. Few people got exercised about things like that in those days.

******Yep, he should be fired as he has proven that he’s too stupid to occupy any position of authority.************

My though also...and he carries a gun...idiot.

All the world is a urinal! It’s good to be a man! It’s good to be The King.

So, even if he did have permission from above......

He didn't say exactly who gave him that okay from on high. Are you suggesting it was "God Almighty"? LOL

[IIntense]

Whoever gave him permission should also be fired. Who’s gonna ‘fess up?

[IIntense]

Where would men be without women to somewhat civilize them? Oh, that’s right! They wouldn’t be here at all! LOL

Giving a three year old a $2,500 ticket for taking a leak in public is excusable, if told to do so by ones government *superiors*??? “I was only obeying orders.” It's amazing how far you'll stoop to excuse police stupidity sometimes...
