That sounds as stupid as the police officer in Piedmont, Oklahoma, who ticketed a 3-year old for peeing in his yard.
The ticket was for several thousand $$$.
When this news hit the internet, the Piedmont mayor and city council were inundated with emails and phone calls.
Within 24 hours, the mayor and city council voided the ticket.

The only way to stop stupidity from over-zealous authority figures is to inundate the ‘officials’ with emails and phone calls and posts on internet forums.
If they see hundreds or thousands of emails pointing out their stupidity, it may eventually sink in.
Well...it was a ticket for voiding, after all.
About 35 years ago a photographer snapped a pic of the Swedish prime minister relieving himself in public, against the fence. They asked him what he had to say about THAT!
He calmly replied that just because he was the prime minster of Sweden, it didn't mean he no longer could pee on the fence.
