PA. Lines: 22 In the borough of Lansdowne(just south of Philly) the local police department has been known to ticket speeding bicyclists (I'll show you a copy :-) ), ticket cars just outside their jurisdiction and even to shoot (to kill) dogs used to guard vehicles in their attempts to ticket them (I *SAW* this happen four doors down from my house one fine summer's day!); not to mention various incidents of illegal search and seizure while ticketing vehicles and issuing citations for driving through *YELLOW* lights! Their best trick is to set up a speed trap during morning rush hour at random intervals, stopping as many as 6 cars at a time. With these revenues the boruugh was able to build Hoffman Park, a million-dollar outdoor recreation complex, and to pay for repairs caused by Hurricane Agnes in 1973. Just goes to show, CRIME *DOES PAY!! You may fire when ready, Gridley.... A. J. Rowley -- There is no dark side of the moon really; as a matter of fact, it's all dark... -"Eclipse", Pink Floyd
