woman fined 500 dollors for honking horn

GREENSBURG, Pa. - A western Pennsylvania woman who honked at hunters because she was upset they were in a tree stand that had been her late grandson's will be cited for illegally scaring deer. Norma Kramer, 77, of Export, Westmoreland County, will be cited for "creating an intentional interruption of the hunting process," according to a state police report. Kramer said she drove her 1987 Oldsmobile across a field and stopped under a tree stand where a man and his wife were hunting. Though they had permission to hunt on her relative's property in Salem Township, they didn't have permission to be in the tree stand, Kramer said. The stand had been her grandson's, who died in a hunting accident six years ago. "I made up my mind that I was going to cause them all kinds of trouble," Kramer said. But when she confronted them Monday morning, she said the woman yelled that she saw a deer and for her husband to shoot it. "There was no deer. She just said that to get a reaction from me, and it worked," Kramer said. "I guess it's against the law to blow my horn and scare the deer. If I'd have known that, I wouldn't have done it. I just hate to see deer killed." If convicted of the second-degree summary offense, Kramer could be fined up to $500.


what is this world coming too....

WOW....can I please have the last minute to two minutes of my life back, that is friggin retarded, who would actually fine someone for something like that?

Who would think it's legal to shoot deer, but illegal to honk at them? Cosmic...

I agree that it's completely stupid, but sadly, they can give you tickets for illegally honking your horn. I have seen people pulled over for honking at someone in traffic and told that their horn should only be used to prevent an accident. But yeah, it's dumb.

That's nothing:

The most un-pop-ular bust of all?

Just when you think you've seen the silliest of summonses, here comes another bang-up ticket.

Police wrote Queens hospital worker George Pulido a summons for making unreasonable noise because his son Christopher's Winnie the Pooh balloon popped on the street.

"I couldn't believe it," Pulido, 29, of Queens Village, said last night. "It was just a normal-size party balloon and it was an accident. You'd make more noise closing the door of a police car."

Pulido's trip into the ticket twilight zone began innocently the afternoon of Nov. 22 when he took his wife, Christina, 27, an accountant, and sons, Chris, 9, and Brandon, 19 months, to a kid's birthday party at a friend's home in the neighborhood.

Chris was holding a party balloon on a string as the family walked home when it suddenly got away from him at Parsons Blvd. and 105th St., hit the sidewalk and popped.

"Three cops were at the curb in a car and one of them called me over and said he was giving me a ticket," Pulido said.

He said he asked the cop, "Are you serious? You're gonna give me a ticket for balloon popping?"

"The cop gave me a hard look and asked me, 'Do you think popping a balloon is funny?'" Pulido recalled. "At that point I just said just give me the ticket...whatever."

When it was over, Pulido said, "My whole family was upset, especially Christopher because he thought the cops were going to take me to jail. How do you explain what happened to a kid when you don't understand it yourself?"

Police declined to comment on the case last night.

Pulido hopes to clear things up when he appears Queens Criminal Court to answer the summons tomorrow.

A rash of silly summonses made headlines earlier this year for transgressions such as using multiple subway seats or sitting on a milk crate on the sidewalk. A pregnant woman was even ticketed for resting on subway steps. Police brass have consistently denied there is a ticket quota.
