Remember the days when doing a good deed was a good thing? Unfortunately, in some places that is only a memory.<\/p>\n

It was starting to freeze, and it was really getting bad.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The two men got a raft and rescued the deer. After the rescue was complete, a natural resources police officer on the scene (who had watched the entire rescue) wrote both men a ticket. <\/p>\n The article further states:<\/p>\n “The ticket itself doesn’t check off any specific violation, just a $90 fine.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The men were told that the ticket was for not wearing life vests, although both are above the age where that is a requirement.<\/p>\n This is just wrong.
