So, in America, a 70 year old woman has been arrested for failing to water her garden. She was taken away in handcuffs for neglecting her landscape.
And Americans claim they are the civilised members of the world.....

In the UK and other civilized nations no doubt. So what's your question?
Police accused of brutality after officer beat woman during arrest at nightclub.
An investigation into alleged police brutality was launched last night after a black teenager was filmed being repeatedly punched by a policeman, while two colleagues held her down outside a Sheffield nightclub.
Toni Comer said she suffered injuries to her neck, shoulders and legs during the confrontation which ended with the woman being dragged away.

She was arrested for failing to cooperate with a policeman and providing her ID. She will be taken off the ReEducation Compounds in Gitmo and put on half ration of Alpo and Evian.
It is pretty darn stupid and a waste of police resources.
I think the Canadians are the most civilized on this continent.

You can be prosecuted in the UK for not looking after your garden....just the same as in the USA. Friend of mine has just purchased a house that has been empty for some time. When he called in a gardener to sort out the overgrown garden, the gardener warned my friend to cut down a particular weed right away as he could be prosecuted if it came to the notice of DEFRA.

As a first time offender, she'll probably get the chair.
