Ignorance of the Law Is No . . . You Know the Drill.
7th September 2011
Cops in Florida have written thousands of tickets to motorists for flashing their lights to warn other motorists of speed traps. Problem is, flashing your lights to communicate isn’t against the law in the Florida.
So one motorist has filed a class action.
Which sounds odd, since each ticket is supposed to carry a citation to the statute supposedly violated. If, in fact, no statute has been violated, then the recipient ought to be able to challenge the ticket in traffic court. (Of course, few people bother to challenge tickets in traffic court.)
