PHONY PARKING TICKETS

Madison Wisconsin; "Prosecutors say college student Anthony Gallagher had an ingenious way of making some extra money - phony parking tickets. According to authorities, Gallagher made copies of a real parking ticket and placed them on cars near his, frat house. He allegedly established a post office box to receive the payments. Police say they traced the scheme to Gallagher because the citation number on the phony tickets was the same as one issued to him in February of last year. According to prosecutors, Gallagher deposited hundreds of dollars from the phony parking tickets in a bank account. Laughed my Butt off.. It just throws me what people think of ? Guess you have to have a dis-honest mind to come up with some thing like this....Maybe he should go into government!! "

Speeder Gets Break For Upset Stomach

Norway;"A reckless driver in Norway got a reduced sentence for speeding on Monday after he told a judge he had to go faster than the law allowed because his upset stomach was working faster than he could drive. Was pulled over by police for going more than twice the posted speed limit. At one point, police clocked the driver doing 78 mph in a 31 mph zone. A state prosecutor wanted to confiscate the man's drivers license for six months, but the man said he had to rush home so he could go to the bathroom. Instead, the man had his license revoked for five months and fined $1,143. The violation of the law occurred solely as a result of the urgent need to find a lavatory, a need caused by stomach problems, the court ruled. I'll have remember this one the next time I need to talk myself out of a speeding ticket..Cute! "

Lap Dance - Constitutional Right

La Habra, Calif:"There's no constitutional right to get up-close and personal during a lap dance. That's the gist of a ruling from a federal appeals court. The panel has refused the appeal of a Southern California strip club owner who wanted a local "2-foot rule" overturned. The city of La Habra requires that lap dancers stay at least 2 feet away from customers during their performances. Badi "Bill" Gammoh, who owns the Taboo Theater, contends the rule infringes on freedom of expression. The strippers said they also lost money because of the requirement. A federal appeals court has refused to reconsider a January ruling that upheld the 2-foot rule. But Gammoh's lawyer said their fight isn't over yet. Question? How is it a LAP-DANCE, if your 2-feet from the person's lap? ..lol "

"** (UP-DATE)......Re-Blogged this as I heard, they are also passing the law and its 4-Feet!! in the fine city Of Seattle Washinton!!...Well guys best you be teaching that women of yours to give you a few lap dance's..huh! (But you better make sure you still give her the money for the dance!!) Look at it like this least your giving it to someone, who you have a chance...Having SEX with!!...LOL"

Parents fined for students' behavior

Texas;" Barwise Junior High school parent Jerry Shifflett got a $300 ticket Friday. But it wasn't from a cop catching him speeding. The $300 ticket was written by an officer patrolling his child's school. The offense: His 15-year-old son cursed at another student. His son was also sent to Denver Alternative Center for 15 days. Until receiving a recent rash of tickets, Shifflett said he'd never heard of ticket-writing in schools. And he doesn't like bearing the punishment for his child's misbehavior. "To me, it's a lot of money. I'm going to end up paying for it," Shifflett said. "My 15-year-old son doesn't work. They're basically punishing the parent." Ticket-writing in schools is nothing new, said WFISD Director of Security Karen Olson. She coordinates nine to 12 city police officers and Department of Public Safety troopers each school day. They patrol schools throughout the district and assist teachers with disruptions. The fines they dispense range from about $250 to $500. In 2001, they issued 132 tickets to students for disrupting class and 182 tickets for disorderly conduct. Police wrote another seven tickets to students found walking around town when they should have been in school. "Parents seem to feel when they drop their kids off at school, they're safe," said Elaine Bourgoin, Municipal Court administrator who files court cases that result from ticketing. "But teachers need help. Especially today." Shifflett said his son has been in trouble before and perhaps should be sent to ISS (In School Suspension) or to Denver Alternative Center for poor behavior. He said he approves of having officers in the schools to patrol for drugs, firearms and gang activity. But fining parents for a child's dirty talk is going too far, he said. "Send them to the principal's office, do like they do in the old days, bust their asses," Shifflett said. "But I don't think they should make it where the parent should pay an expensive ticket." But times have changed, Olson said. "If they want to complain about it, I tell them to tell it to the judge. I don't have the authority to dismiss those tickets...I myself wonder if the schools are going a bit far with things, Like - all children under 18-years must be enrolled in school or Parents are FINED!! With this New Law..(No Child Left Behind!!) I am reading in my small town news-paper where the G.E.D. Programs are looking a lot better to our children because they want to finish school and if they go forth under the new program they won't...I know a lot of you say this is a good program!! But I don't agree with you!! It's just a cover up in the school all the way to the White House -(has to do with School-Grant -Money)...If our government want to really help our Children- then they need to spend more money training teachers(paying them) to help kids/ instead of allowing teachers to moving into office positions within the school levels that's where the good ones are going because they have giving up ...No money in teaching our children anymore!! That's what I was told by a very good Teacher who just gave up and went where the money was! "
