About them rules of the road...I think people would have more respect for
the system if they knew just a little bit about the rules of court, the
evidence code, etc. Right now what we have is a "cat and mouse" game
where guys like KENNY MORSE profit. Of course, KENNY will tell you what
the law says, but not what it means.
I believe that if people knew how to read well enough to fight traffic
tickets that police officers would have to go after REAL CRIMINALS with
guns and knives. You know, the kind that hurt people. Most people think
of the court as an adversary rather than a utility. If 2% of the
population getting tickets took the DA to task for the ticket, the courts
would experience a significant slowdown. Why, they might have to
consider alternate forms of flee...I mean revenue.

Ditto. Have a nice time on your next taxpayer funded vacation, KENNY.
