- Anybody read the article in the paper? (Either the OC register, or the
- OC edition of the LA times).
-
- Apparently, this judge dismissed a case, because (Laguna?) motorcycles
- have gasoline tanks which are painted a distinct blue, when the law says
- they must be black and/or white to issue citations. Otherwise, it's
- considered an illegal speed trap.
-
- The victim was going 65 in a 45 on (El Toro?) blvd. (Hey, that's not
- too fast, what's wrong with these people? That's a mere 20mph over! B-{)
-
- The court thereafter received a flood of mail from other folks who
- wanted _their_ cases dismissed too! (Can they do that? I mean,
- after the fact and all? Don't they have to appeal within a certain
- time period?)
-
- The victim had a lawyer. I suppose that helps a lot, but I wonder how
- much it costs.
-
- This is all from memory, which is why stuff is accompanied by (?).
- I saw the paper laying on the floor of the throneroom, and there
- was nothing else to read. B-{)
