A southern Utah student has been removed from classes after administrators found her dyed hair color too distracting.
Rylee MacKay, a 15-year-old student at Hurricane Middle School in Hurricane, said she was sent to the office Wednesday after an administrator said her hair looked purple and pink in the sunlight.
Under Washington County School District policy, hair "should be within the spectrum of color that grows naturally," and administrators can decide whether a color is too distracting.

A high-speed chase in Cincinnati resulted in the deaths of two innocent people. The suspect, a repeat offender who was both high and drunk, is an awful human being. But would the two innocents have died if Cincinnati cops had ignored their adrenaline and not chased a guy through the central business district at 60-70 mph?

The article also includes stats for police chases in Cincinnati in 1996, the last year before regulations were put in place to stop most chases. In that year, there were 180 chases. The results? 155 accidents, 34 injuries, and 1 death.

Miles said he resisted because he thought the men were trying to abduct him and didn't identify themselves as police.

Miles' family and attorney said he was hit with a stun gun and hospitalized after the violent Homewood struggle during which a chunk of his hair was yanked out and a tree branch went through his gums.

"I was accused for something I never had anything to do with," said Miles, an honor student at CAPA. "I was completely innocent. They couldn't find anything."

From the Village-Voice, the punchline: The owner, the local PD, and and town manager all asked the Courier-Post not to run the story -- not because it embarrasses them, mind you, but because it "may trigger copycat acts and generally contribute to the discomfort of our officers." (The cop's name has not been released.)

Cops felt it necassary to drag a 77 year old lady from her car because she didnt hand over her id and insurance card.

MI government plans as of April 1 to raid private citizens' property to check pigs they're raising naturally. Pigs will be checked against a very suspect "checklist," which includes the color of the hair and skin, to determine if they are feral or not. If the government raid teams decide the pigs are feral, they will destroy them on the spot. If a farmer/citizen protests or tries to prohibit them in any way, they will be arrested for obstruction of justice.

PROBABLY HOMELESS AND LOOKING FOR SHELTER. A 38-year-old man brought a prescription pill to the police station Monday and asked to be arrested for drug possession. Christopher Dennis Dollar came into the police station lobby and handed the pill to an officer, according to a news release from the DeFuniak Springs Police Department. He told the officer that he needed to be arrested for possession of Xanax without a prescription. Dollars was charged with a third-degree felony for possession of drugs without a prescription.

On September 8, Gregory Koger was sentenced to 300 days in jail for videotaping a brief political statement at a public event in Skokie, IL. When Gregory was asked to stop, he put down his video camera. Trespass charges were brought because he started filming with his iPhone. But videotaping is not a crime! Filming has nothing to do with the legal definition of trespass. The trespass law states that you must be ordered to leave, and then show that you intend to remain after you have been given notice to leave.

This is EXACTLY what they did to me (Sam Dodson) as well.

An 80-year-old barber cutting hair for 50 years now is told he has to go back to school. He says the state never warned him his license was about to expire. Americans have a constitutional right to earn a living in the occupation of their choice, free from unreasonable government interference. What happened to this man is the very definition of unreasonable.
