Two Manhattan Beach, California police officers, fired for their roles in an off-duty hit-and-run crash, are both seeking $10 million from the city in damages.
According the Daily Breeze newspaper, the cops allege they have not only been inhumanely treated, they also might have to flee the country. In identical 12-page claims, Officers Eric Eccles and Kristopher Thompson said retired Manhattan Beach Police Chief Rod Uyeda likened them to the al-Qaida terrorist network and referred to them as "being much like Osama bin Laden" before he terminated them.

In the U.S., if you would like to pay for the services of a prostitute and stay within the boundaries of the law, you really have to stay within certain parts of Nevada. But in other countries, prostitution is treated differently than it is here in the States.

In Utah, a man has been cited on a charge of disorderly conduct after paying for a disputed medical bill with 2,500 pennies. The Deseret News of Salt Lake City reported recently that Jason West went to Basin Clinic in Vernal to dispute an outstanding $25 bill. Assistant Vernal Police Chief Keith Campbell says that after asking staff members whether they accepted cash, West dumped 2,500 pennies on the counter. Campbell says the incident upset staff because pennies were strewn about the counter and floor, and West's action served "no legitimate purpose." Police issued the 38-year-old West a citation for disorderly conduct. That carries a fine of as much as $140. Hopefully he won’t pay with 14,000 pennies.
