And after people read this you're going to get responses like "maybe we should have the police take out a full page ad telling people they can't kill other people". I have found in life that there is no way to talk to people about common sense - you either have it or you don't! It can't be taught. |

ummm Bill? I believe that is a direct quote from me.
I am too, by the way. I never could get the hang of it. I enjoy watching other people and pouring drinks for them. I have far fewer headaches. And even a couple of people think I am fun...(If I pay them to say it)

A Villagers definintion of the "The spirit of the law.": Anytime you cite one of us and we don't agree with the law then you have violated the spirit of the law. In the Villages ignorance of the law IS an excuse because normal laws don't apply to us. Any and all tickets should be fully explained in a community wide meeting or a full paged newspaper ad. If you do violate "the spirit of the law" as defined by us Villagers, then you obvioulsy have no common sense and are just a badge heavy tool who has nothing better to do than hassle us fine folk who pay your salary.

I wonder if the people who allegedly got the ticket:
Were warned ahead of time, but didn't comply Were showing signs of intoxication Were observed making numerous trips to the bar Were observed mixing more than a few drinks of their own Were consuming whiskey on the rocks Were cited only after they started their cart and began to move Were being warned, but were belligerent to the officer I also wonder why they were the only poor innocents who were targeted by the nasty old authoritarian minded cops. |

With the information that I supplied to the Police Department, they were unable to find any such citation. I will be in contact with them on Monday morning to give any added info that I can. To many folks are jumping into the fire, not knowing all the facts.

For the third time, I will say that it's my belief that no ticket was even issued...
But, this thread reminds me of growing up in Kentucky, years ago. Every Sunday, my parents would drag me to church. I'll not mention the denomination, but we lived in the bible belt. There were lots and lots of rules and if you broke any of the rules, you were going straight to hell. Ironically, the rules were for everything enjoyable to anyone...no smoking, no drinking, no dancing, no music, no singing, ...I'm not sure how anyone had children, cause that was... Oh well, you get the picture. I don't like all the rules and certainly don't want to know the official answer to some of the questions posed on this thread. Like having drink sitting in my cart or crossing the street at the square with a glass of wine, etc.... We should just lighten up, enjoy life and not worry so much if someone gets away with breaking a rule. Just saying.... |
