Your Tax Dollars At Work In South Carolina

This is Kayla Michelle Finley. She just got arrested in Pickens, South Carolina. The reason she got arrested is a video she rented from a place called Dalton Video, which no longer exists. The video in question was rented, and then not returned, in the year 2005. This, of course, (eye-rolley, here) provides probable cause for an arrest for petty larceny, without even checking the statute of limitations or the availability of witnesses; and very, very worthy of the prosecutor's time and the taxpayers' money. 

If I represented South Carolina in Congress, I would ask the court in Pickens County for a list of all child support scofflaws and demand to know why a woman who forgot to return a rented video was prioritized above people with current yet ignored court orders to pay child support. It really looks like South Carolina has some cops who are afraid to face real criminals, and look for people who are not dangerous in order to justify the space they take up on the public payroll.
