If you would just go on a ride along with Matt you would see that it is perfectly acceptable to have double standards and to make personal attacks on the internet.

Here's another...

Guy gives cash to a panhandler and gets ticketed for littering, to the tune of five hundred bucks!


"CLEVELAND — A random act of kindness lands a man in trouble with police.

Last Monday, May 14th John Davis was exiting I-90 at the West 117th ramp when he saw a man in a wheelchair. The man was pale, thin and holding a sign that had a religious sentiment and also a request for help.

John thought to himself, “I think we’re all to help the less fortunate.”

The middle class family man from Elyria works hard for a living and enjoys giving back especially to people who are physically challenged.

“I have a brother that’s paralyzed,” said John, “My brother’s in that same situation and struggles.”

John reached into his wallet and grabbed a couple of bucks to give to the man. As he approached the light at the exit, he rolled the money up vertically and stretched his arm out of his window. He says, the man touched the cash and one of the dollars fell to the ground.

The man then bent over and picked it up.

Moments later as John travelled North on West 117th he says a Cleveland police officer pulled him over.

“He proceeds to tell me he’s pulling me over for littering,” said John.

John and his friends who witnessed the exchange were baffled.

The ticket cited Section No: 613.06 of Cleveland’s Municipal Codes, which is littering from a motor vehicle.

His offense was listed as, “Throw paper out window,” and in parenthesis, “money to panhandler.”

John said he was confused because money is paper but it’s not trash.

Cleveland police can’t comment on the ticket at this time but according to a spokesperson there is another code that may have been violated.

There is a code which states that it is illegal to panhandle or give money to panhandlers near a highway or street including a berm, shoulder, treelawn or sidewalk.

Section No: 471.06 states in part that “No person shall stand on a highway for the purpose of soliciting…contributions…”

It also reads that “No driver” is to “transfer currency….to any person standing on a street or highway.”

But John says that’s not what he was ticketed for. He was cited for littering from a motor vehicle, and the officer advised him to “take it up with the courts.”

John does plan to challenge the ticket in court, mainly because it carries a hefty fine. It could cost him $500 once you add the fine plus court costs."

That cop must have caught his wife porking their insurance agent that morning.

And the cops on here wonder why there are so many people pissed at cops. If it's only a few bad apples, why aren't they thrown out of the force the first time they do something like sending cops to harass reporters or sending police officers to fucking look for a phone?

[Trip McNeely]

Phone probably had incriminating evidence on the Chief.

I laugh at how you have to continue this clash every chance you get. Are you so pathetic that this is how you choose to spend your efforts?

Mods can't read your PMs unlike using an illegal wire tap, dummy.

What's really bad is (to which I'm sure you've already caught) is that Henry is merely commenting about something that Matt has already made public. /facepalm

[bcoop]

Only admins can, like Lea and Kyle. But ssshhh. Don't tell the less intelligent.

Matt - if you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about? Lulz!

Im not sure I like the person you've become, lol!

And Racrguy hit the nail on the head, we're just using your own verbage to make fun of you and you're getting all bent.

And it is true, only admins can see that kind of stuff but like everything else, Tyler can see who does what, includin bans, moved threads, etc. So much for you accusing me of abusing my mod powers because he knows the truth.
