http://www.ahwatukee.com/afn/community/articles/040107d.html -- Police have been hiding in the bushes catching speeders along the road behind my house. Some guy put up a sign warning of a speed trap, and they arrested him for it. He then spent an hour handcuffed in their car while they tried to figure out what they were citing him with. They decided on Obstructing a Government Operation, but this was thrown out two weeks later on account of that article specifically stating, Obstructing a Government Operation by Threat or Use of Physical Violence. Putting up a sign is not violent. This reminds me strongly of the passage in The Phoenix Guards (pg. 44, PB): --- "Very well," said the Captain, "you are to enforce the laws of the Empire." "And what laws are these, Captain?" asked Aerich. "Heh," said G'aereth. "Use your judgement. If it looks illegal, then it probably is." --- The really ironic thing is that now there are huge, official signs along Pecos Rd. warning of "Intense Speed Enforcement, next 7 miles." ~Juliette Torres ===== ~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "When they say that people should bring things to their relationships, I hadn't thought that meant that one person should keep a sword in her torso and that the other one should turn into a car." --Elena, on "Revolutionary Girl Utena" __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
