Romney's 1991 arrest - thinks he can just ignore the Game Warden, flout the law, and just pay the measly fine.

"According to what Romney told the Boston Globe in 1994, he had taken his family off to Wayland, Mass.'s Lake Cochituate, about an hour outside Boston, for a summer excursion. As Romney prepared to put his family boat into the water, a park officer told Romney not to launch because his license appeared to have been painted over. The officer told Romney if he put his boat into the water he would face a $50 fine.
Romney felt that his license was still visible and decided to ignore the order from the officer and pay the fine.
"I figured I was at the state park with my kids. My five kids were in the car wondering why we weren't going out in the boat, so I said I'd launch and pay the fine,” Romney said in 1994."

$50 fine isn't worth posting or add or negates from the mans credibility.

Disorderly conduct? That is serious. Romney is a sociopath.

Laws are for the 47%, Katzpaw, not governor's sons.

That ranger is lucky he held onto his job.

The clip says he was brought to the police station and posted bail. Where is the booking photo?

The entitled snob argued with law enforcement and tried to put his boat in the water after being told not to.
