The Honolulu City Council is considering a bill that would impose up to a $500 fine or up to six months in jail — or both — for public transit passengers convicted of being too smelly.
The bill will be heard Thursday in committee. It would make it illegal to have “odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system.”
It doesn’t matter if it’s body odor or offensive fumes that emanates from clothes, personal belongings or animals.
The American Civil Liberties Union said it is concerned with laws that open the door to discriminatory enforcement.
Dog makes meal of deputy’s tires
Some dogs chase cars. One in a North Carolina town decided to try and eat one.
The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said a pit bull deflated all four tires of a deputy’s cruiser near Hope Mills on Sunday.
Spokeswoman Debbie Tanna said the deputy parked his car in a woman’s driveway while responding to her complaint about another dog.
When Deputy Lynn Lavallis went to speak with Gloria Bass, the pit bull chomped into the tires.
The dog’s owner will be billed $500.
