Ideally, we all want to live in a nation of laws. But we certainly hope the laws are rational, based on the premise of the public good, and enforced with common sense as guidance.
On a recent visit to Panama City Beach in Florida, an Alabama youth minister and his family were confronted by police for building a sand castle on the beach.
What seemed to be an innocent activity for the father and his 7-year old son turned into a confrontation that prompted the response of four police cruisers to the scene to deal with the “criminal” activity.
Learn how Bryant Rylee’s request for a simple explanation of the ordinance police cited turned into an event where he was punished for having innocent fun with his son. The story unfolds on the next page.
Well causr this was such a horrible crime….think the police should have had something bettet to do…..one big wave or the tide coming in and the castle would be gone
Def friend Tazzed for smoking by police station.. Cop was yelling at him… he reads lips… can’t read when yelling… I think law suit… Tazing is serious business
How stupid this law is. When a kid can not build a sand castle something is drastically wrong with this society
This country has list all common sense!! Panama beach:: SHAME!

Pitiful waste of taxpayer money!
Gives the Po a bad name.
ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS, RIDICULOUS AND ABSURD!!
They could’ve explained the reasoning of the ordinance based on others bad behaviour.
