Article 24 continued Chief Frye: No more, these laws are already on the _ <br /> books. <br /> i <br /> Voter: I feel if we try to enforce all of this, our Police force will be <br /> 1 <br /> entirely inadequate. <br /> . I <br /> Maurice Cooper: resident of Mashpee; Police sergeant. This Article 24 is j <br /> .not anything unique we are trying to get across; it is a model of laws <br /> passed in other Towns in the Commonwealth. This is designed so the Police , ! <br /> officer would have the discretion to make an arrest or issue a citation. <br /> This has been very successful in the state of Maryland. I think it would <br /> be in the best interest of this Town to move on this Article as read. <br /> Shirley Peters: My concern with this Article is that it looks that it <br /> would be intimidating to the youth; the fact there is a citation, there <br /> is no chance for a warning. The citation mi-lat, cause the child to get <br /> upset and he will do something worse. It trea.tens there freedom and <br /> en joyinent of life. It 'gives the dfficer the-,:discretion to take <br /> t <br /> liberties with certain kids. <br /> Tir O'Connell: This gives the police officer the discretion of giving y <br /> a citation rather than a criminal complaint. <br /> Moderator: All those in favor of Article 24 as amended say aye; opposed <br /> no. Gig <br /> Motion carried. <br /> 1 <br /> I <br /> �tk ref <br />
