McDonalds Is Full Of Crap
A homeless woman entered a McDonalds and proceeded toward the restroom. The manager of the McDonalds told her that she had to leave. The homeless woman was a long time patron of this McDonalds, and told the manager that she was going to make a purchase after using the restroom. But the manager would have none of it.
There happened to be a police officer in that McDonalds, so the manger got the cop to order the homeless woman out of the restaurant. The cop then wrote the homeless woman a ticket for treaspassing.
The article describing this event is well written and is accompanied by photos of the incident. You can read it at www.indybay.org
A side note in this article which struck a cord of truth with me – it happens all over the country:
“Earlier in the morning, and the reason why an officer was in McDonald’s in the first place, was that there had been a robbery. One officer responded to the robbery call. On the other hand, there were at least three police cruisers on the scene and six or seven officers involved to sort out the alleged crime of a homeless woman needing to use the bathroom.”

More so if you're like me and can't help but try to be six m […]Dan M

Lmfao. How is she expected to pay this ticket? How would they find her if she didn’t pay the ticket? Cops are useless
My buddy describes at his blog how Santa Monica police follows the municipal code and gives him no slack. He was just recently ordered out of a trash dumpster while looking for aluminum cans. He sees this as an enviromentaly friendly occupation — the cans otherwise end up in a landfill. But the police disagree. So far it has received three tickets for trash digging.
