http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2010/12/17/good-samaritans-face-fine-after-rescuing-deer-from-icy-water/ If you haven't heard about this story (hope the link works, or at least the address), here is part of it:

We had oars and shovels to break the ice, for the deer to get out,....... in the excited aftermath of the rescue, a natural resources police officer on the scene wrote both men a ticket.

....he didn't say anything,....... We went in and out of the water numerous times. He didn't stop us at all. They say they were ticketed for not wearing life vests, although both are over the age for mandatory use of flotation devices. No, we didn't have vests on, but we're not 16 years old, ........There were personal floating devices on the boat.
The ticket itself doesn't check off any specific violation, just a $90 fine. They'll fight it in court, as they fought for the deer. The two men ticketed say they will fight the citations at the court hearing in Annapolis..............

I am not sure about copyright laws, etc., don't want to get into trouble, so I paraphrased part of the article. Therefore no quotation marks.

Hope everyone is going to have a Merry Christmas, Dave
 
In La., we would have ate the deer. Then they would have good reason to fine us.
 
It could have been worse...at least the cop didn't taze the guys or worse yet, shoot them. He needs to find a different line of work.
 
Dave,

I do know copyright law a bit due to my work. As long as you link to the article, just like you did, a copy-n-paste from it is fine. Websites (drudge, for example) link to other site's articles all the time. As a matter of fact, it's best if you don't modify the text.

As for the DNR cop, what a jerk. But we seem to have no shortage of jerk cops here in MD:

Cop kills Bear-Bear at Arundel dog park
(To add salt to the wound, while the jerk-shooter was just a federal "mall cop", the Anne Arundel Co. police at first tried to protect him as "one of their own". I can't stand this cop-superiority crap.)

Mixman, thanks for the info. Sad about the Husky, we had one for many years. Still miss him. Cancer got him...
