COURTS REPORT: YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK

 A recalcitrant drunken driver must pay $68 to replace pants that a Boise Police Department officer ripped during a foot chase, but not $1,088 to fix a patrol car damaged when it hit the man's dog.

Those people from Recalcitrant just don't appreciate the value of pants.

$1K of damages by hittin' a DOG!?!?!?!?!

Must've been a HUGE dog ... but then, even cops hafta drive cars nowadays that are mostly plastic ...

"Am I a good driver? Nien.."

Pleasant to see "recalcitrant" used in an item, although he's going to confuse more than half his readers, I bet.

And when did Boise get moved to Florida?

I dunno Idaho.

Is eight the magic number?
And as for the damage, my sister and her husband were driving their VW station wagon when a dog ran in front of them.
My sister said the dog was just slightly smaller than the car.
The damage nearly totaled the car.

We'll know the literacy crisis is abating when one of these journos refers to a suspect as "obstreperous."
