Another hyper-inflated police uniform.
Death, Taxes, and now Water your yard
Yes he will learn to be a better Obersturmbannführer! I can't believe they would arrest an old lady over her lawn maintenance. I hope she gets a nice settlement.
(obvious sarcasm)
In south Florida you better not water your lawn or they will give you a bloody nose.
This is another of the less than 1% that needs to be fired immediately and put in the jail where he belongs.
With judgment this poor, he shouldn't be given the chance to have a "learning experience". He should be summarily dismissed from the force.

Sue their pants off.
The police can water the lawn themselves while they’re peeing on the Fourth Amendment.
This brings back memories of the “Great Water Shortage” in CA, years ago. People would actually rat you out if you were seen hosing down your driveway or having a green lawn. Some folks actually spray painted their dead lawns green!
Why didn’t the cop ask the lady if she needed help with her watering and landscape chores? Was she having trouble paying for the extra water to keep her grass green? Naaah, just another jackbooted thug who makes the rest of LE officers look bad.
Orem? Utah? Mormon? What hath Brigham wrought?
“After being booked, supervisors became aware of the circumstances and immediately released the woman and returned her to her home on the basis that there were other options available to handle this situation besides making an arrest and holding the woman in jail,” Orem police Lt. Doug Edwards wrote in the news release.
She’ll be able to hire a gardener after her attorneys get through with this police dept.
I play golf sometimes with a guy who’s a retired police officer from a nice town (read nothing exciting happens, nothing to get jaded about, etc.) he would be the last guy I ever guessed was a cop until he told me.
He said he knew it was time for him to leave when all the new guys were these steroid-fueled, shaven head monsters. He tells me about these guys pulling granny over for speeding strolling up to the window, un harnessing the gun, slowly reaching down to flick off the safety before asking granny for her license, insurance and registration.
How do all these cops get away with being steroid freaks!!!! I see it all the time, I KNOW what a steroid body looks like, I know what’s natural and what’s not.
Wyatt Earp Syndrone strikes again.
I take it this is what passes for crime in Orem.
In the video below, the black cop shot the white kid who was unarmed and lying on the ground prone and trying to calm the obviously hysterical cop.
The cop lied and said that the kid lunged at him - the video is dark, but you can clearly see that this kid did not lunge at anything, he was terrified. The cop was a maniac and shot him in cold blood. He knows that he will get a black jury to let him go.
The kid happened to also have been a military policeman.

Welcome to the Police State.
Water your lawn b!tch!
Oh geez...and I’ve been afraid I’ll be arrested for watering my flowers.
I can hear the supervisors now: “you arrested this old woman for WHAT?????” You A$$hole! This creep does not belong on the police force.
I’m sure some FReepers would be more than happy to send an email to the elected officials.
Another lawsuit pending against the police. I see a violation of her cival rights as well.
