The fine for a disorderly conduct summons can be as little as $25. But Waheed Saleh, originally from Jenin in the occupied West Bank and now living in Yonkers, did not want to pay it because, he contends, a principle was at stake.
So, four years and four months after exchanging words with a police officer as Mr. Saleh smoked a cigarette outside Keenan’s Bar and Grill in the Bronx, he found himself on Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan defending, in his mind, his constitutional rights.

Dayton: Cops Can Still Take Wa
DAYTON, Ohio -- City Manager Rashad Young has issued a statement to Dayton's police union -- accept a wage freeze and mandatory days off and 11 police officers will not be laid off.
"This is not a threat. It is not an ultimatum. It is the reality of our situation," Young said. He said that the police union's refusal of a wage freeze and a $6 million deficit for the city led to the layoffs.
The 11 officers, who are slated to be cut Aug. 3, are from a group of the 20 most recent graduates from the police academy, all of whom have been on the job for about a year.
According to Young, cutting the officers will save the city $773,000 a year -- approximately 1.5 percent of the police department's 2009 budget. He said the cuts are about the dollar amount being saved, not how the city gets there.
Randy Beane, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 44, said the move is shocking, and questioned the ethics of using layoffs as a bargaining tool.
The city has been pushing for city unions to accept wage freezes and four unpaid furlough days for the year. The police and fire unions are among those that have yet to reach an agreement.
Only a week ago, the city rejected a recommendation from an independent fact-finder to give police a 1 percent raise, as opposed to the roughly 3 percent promised in the current contract, and no furlough days. Beane said the FOP was willing to accept those terms, but the city rejected the recommendation, saying it would look for another fact-finder.
