Read the Touching Birthday Letter Sent on Balloons to a Brother in Heaven and Found by a Stranger
Yeah, the balloons are not Mylar, so what. That guy in Florida being charged with a felony is pure stupidity! That Cop could have given the guy a warning and done just as much good but oh no, a felony arrest looks good on the Cops employment record. Who cares if he ruins a guy's life when the Cop can be a look good motherfucker. There are way to many Cops that are disgusting human beings.

Nice sentiment, moronic move. The balloon guy should have known the laws before he decided to act. Moreover, at 40 years old a dinner and show may have gone a long way in the romance department.
Not only stupid, but cheap. Now he can spend his money on a lawyer the cheap bastard....he has his remedies at law and will be able to defend himself at trial.
Why should he know the laws? There are, quite literally, thousands of laws already on the books, and state legislatures and Congress pass more of them every day because idiots think that is their job. There is no way anyone can possibly know all the laws, so any argument that they should is based on the assumption that laws make sense.
Releasing balloons shouldn't be a felony, however he should have looked into the law beforehand.

How many people would it even enter the mind of?

He should know the law for the same reason you or I should know the law. A good example is the rules of this forum. Should we break those rules/laws we will be subjected to a consequence. The law is in place for the protection of the status quo or the prohibition of an activity that may cause another harm.

Idk *shrug* , I knew before QW posted this story that, in my city ,you need a permit to release balloons.

The rules for this forum can all be written on a single page, as I already explained, there are literally thousands of laws. Lawyers go to school for years, and then take state specific bar exams, and still don't know all the laws. It is impossible for one person to know all the laws that apply to him, and everyone in this country is guilty of committing at least three felonies every day.

Since you don't know the laws you are breaking every day your insistence on holding another person to a standard you, personally, break is, at best, ignorant. Tell me one more time that he should know the laws simply because you are too stupid to realize that you are breaking laws and it will cross into blatant hypocrisy because you are saying you are above the law.

There are two elements for a crime in this isolated situation a felony. Mens Rea and Actus Reas. The state is required to prove both. If they do not then they have not met there burden the person would be exculpated. The guy is going to be free as a jailbird so he can set up another cheapo date with his girlfriend.
Mens rea: To be guilty of most crimes, a defendant must have committed the criminal act in a certain mental state (the mens rea). The mens rea of robbery, for example, is the intent to permanently deprive the owner of his property.
Actus Reus: The actus reus is the act which, in combination with a certain mental state, such as intent or recklessness, constitutes a crime.

By the way, how can you argue on one hand that he should have known it was illegal, and then come back and argue that, because he did not know it was illegal, it wasn't a crime?

Is this the crime the person was charged with?
My problem with it is that it is felony. Now the guy has his rights and job opportunities severely limited for the rest of his life. A written warning or an infraction would have been sufficient.

The Cop knows that and could have used better judgement then to burn this guy as bad as he did over damn near nothing.

Go soak your head in urine and tell me how it feels.
I never would have worried about power lines. *shrug*
Releasing balloons shouldn't be a felony, however he should have looked into the law beforehand. Perhaps bought the power line friendly type.
Brasfield was charged with polluting to harm humans, animals, plants, etc. under the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Act.

When you provide the exact charge together with the statute which this man is accused of violating then we can have a more accurate discussion.
Theres nothing stupid about this law. And ignorance of the law is no excuse.Brasfield was charged with polluting to harm humans, animals, plants, etc. under the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Act.
Theres also no reason to assume the trooper did not act in good faith.
Brasfield will likely end up with only a fine, if not dropped altogether.
