"I said really, he is 3 years old, and he said it doesn't matter," said Dillan's grandmother, Jennifer Warden. "[He said] It is public urination. I said we are on our property and he said it's in public view."[More]As is typical more often than not, we know the name of the mom and the grandmother, and we even know the name of the three-year-old, but the the name of the badged pissant spraying all over those he has been given power over is somehow a state secret the Authorized Urinalists dare not divulge. At least it looks like the mayor and chief ended up reversing things as far as the ticket goes--but here's the thing: Not only is their unfixed dog out there throwing his authoritah around and bullying the people he's supposed to be serving, his "courtesy" of writing a $2,500 fine we learn about in the first link turns out to be utterly without merit under state law.
Protection of public employees being what it is these days, things are probably set up so they can't fire Barney Fife outright, but I'd say the public has a right to know who this menace to society is, and see what other examples of abuse they can pin on him--surely this can't be the first time he's whizzed on a citizen. At the least, people ought to be able to simulate taking a leak every time he passes by, and then point and laugh at the silly sumbich.
