Hello Everyone, I've got the most recent Brickbats from Reason.
Now you may be asking yourself,"Dork, What in the world is a Brickbat?" A brickbat is a short situation (Often involving the police) where some government related stupidity is going on. Lets start with today's Brickbat. I will always post more Brickbats when they become available.
Up on the Roof by Charles Oliver August 9th
A Jackson, Minnesota, judge sentenced Andrew Espey to 90 days in jail, 60 with good behavior, and fined him more than $2,000 for shingling his roof after he discovered a leak. State law requires old shingles to be removed, and Espey ignored a building inspector's stop-work order and placed new shingles over the old ones on his roof. The jail released Espey after 17 days for medical reasons, and the judge reduced the 73-day balance of his sentence to 30 to be served on a home monitor or three days at a time in the jail.
