This is not a good law. We already have laws that do not allow people to litter. Maybe we should enforce that one first. Stopping you and me from eating is a far cry from a good law. It is a sickening encroachment on our personal freedoms. Eating DOES NOT HARM anyone. Littering does. Therefore, how can you say that making eating illegal is GOOD! Enforce the laws we already have. Having laws do not stop bad people from breaking them. And having more laws just allows people in positions of authority to abuse their power like this asshole did because she said something disrespectful.

No. No matter how abusive they are, you don't disprespect an officer of the law. Not because they're people too, but because they are in a position of power and authority and you must respect that.

No, I think being disrespectful is just that, JUST being disrespectful. She said something disdainfully to a fucking cop. Does that mean the cop (or anyone) has a right to arrest her. She followed the law. This is clearly an abuse of his power. People who are in the position of power should be held to an even higher standard of conduct than you or I and this officer clearly fell way below that line. Always question those in power because this asshole clearly should not be in this position if he can clearly use his power to screw with others.
