 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!!
