Police action

In Vermont a woman was arrested and charged with staring at a police dog in a taunting/harassing manner.

Kelly Green, a public defender appointed by Vermont District Court in Orange County, to represent the woman, likened the act to giving a police officer the finger, apparently a form of expression protected by rights accorded under the First Amendment.

After watching a video of the incident, the State’s Attorney decided to drop all charges.
