Rancho Corral de Tierra has long been an off-leash walking spot for local dog owners. In December, the area became part of the national park system, which requires that all dogs be on a leash, Levitt said.


I get the fact that this guy was in contravention with the rule, and the rule has a practical basis for being in effect. But this seems a bit excessive, given that the guy asked why he was being detained and she wouldn't tell him. So he leaves and she tazes him?

The ranger, who wasn't identified,

Funny. The cop, ranger, misc agent of the state never seems to be identified in most of these types of articles.

Listen, if you are arresting me, either let me know why you are detaining me or it strikes me that the detention is false imprisonment and you need to***** off. My basic problem is the arrogance and absolute disregard for people's rights. These pukes are not arbiters of what rights I do and do not have.

FIFY, please call it what it is..."false imprisonment" is a gov term to make what they're actually doing, not sound quite so bad.
