A young (18 year old) black male was seen by the police without a shirt on (which is against the law in this town). He was approached by a police officer and advised of the LAW (although a silly one it's still a law). The youth decided it was a silly law and refused to comply. This shows NO RESPECT for the law or Police officer. So the cop tells him again and advises him he will get ticketed if he does not comply now. The youth mouths off and still refuses spouting the temperature outside (like the police officer wearing a vest and shirt isn't aware of the temp). When asked for ID so he can issue the ticket, the youth takes off running. The cop catches him and issues the ticket. He was also ticketed for failing to obey a direct order to stop from a police officer.
I see nothing wrong with that boy getting fined now. I agree it's a silly law, BUT if you have a problem with it. COMPLY anyways! Then after you put that shirt back on you walk to CITY HALL and ask for the forms or info on how to have that law repealed. There are ways to get things done legally people.
Shame on FOX 5 for even reporting this as a tragedy!
