This is her house in question:

So you think that a cop has a right to come to your house, demand to know your name, accuse you of breaking a city code and then bloody your nose and handcuff you, haul you off to jail and not even apologize? Funny how the roof looks to have been recently replaced, the dormer looks new, the grass is cut down but dry and the ugliest thing is the sheet of plywood leaning against the side wall.

If this was anyone but a 70 year old, we probably wouldn’t be having this debate. Should anyone be handled with unnecessary force? No. Should LE be able to enter your house without a warrent? No. Does LE have the authority to ask someone their name and issue a citation? Sounds reasonable to me. This doesn’t seem to be a confused , helpless old lady. She says she was warned previously. She has had money to restore the inside of her house. She travels all over the country in a motor home. I don’t know why they have this law but we have to get laws changed , not ignore them (unless you work for the government of course) I think they both weren’t at their best from the facts that were presented here. I’m not going to cop bash just because she’s an “old” lady though and yes she is playing the age card IMO.

The plywood isn’t nearly as ugly as the slipcover on the chimney.
