Funny thing happened at work today. No really, it's funny.

Tried sticking to the limit and nearly got run over. It's a frigging light sign that can be changed for when, if ever, there is work going on, otherwise it is clear highway on which you could get drivers to accept 80k but no reason not to do 100k.

Actually... I was wondering. If you are ticketed through an area governed by those "variable" signs, what evidence do the authorities need to provide to show what speed was being displayed (in effect) at the time of the alleged offence?

I thought you couldn't leave home with bracelet?

Good thing he didn't stab someone before running the red (unless he did)

Yes, bizarre. Cycling through a red light? $150.

Bracelest have conditions specific to the offender. His said he could leave home during specific hours for specific purposes. Just FYI.

Obviously running a red light wasn't one of them...

It's a pity the anklet didn't have a stun mode as well.

depends on the sentence handed down, and the conditions.
i.e. if the offender was fully employed, they will more than likely be allowed to go directly to work and back - basically a curfew - which is fair enough, no reason for the cunt to COST us money if he can be working and lose all of his other freedom. He probably gets less pissingaround laughing with mates time at work than he would in jail.
