Anti-Speed Camera Activist Buys Police Department's Web Domain

Brian McCrary just bought a website to complain about a $90 speeding ticket he received from the Bluff City PD — the Bluff City Police Department site. The department let its domain expire and McCrary was quick to pick it up. From the article: "Brian McCrary found the perfect venue to gripe about a $90 speeding ticket when he went to the Bluff City Police Department's website, saw that its domain name was about to expire, and bought it right out from under the city's nose. Now that McCrary is the proud owner of the site, bluffcitypd.com, the Gray, Tenn., computer network designer has been using it to post links about speed cameras — like the one on US Highway 11E that caught him — and how people don't like them."

Gaming+exercise=???

Since it's been shown that aerobic exercise can improve reaction time, I can't help but wonder how much better of gamers they would be if they also exercised a bit as well. They wouldn't need to go to a gym. Just some running, or crunches, or something on a regular basis would help, I would bet.

OT, but small correction - butter, cholesterol and salt are good for you, it's carbohydrates that cause heart attacks, diabetes, obesity, cancer and other chronic diseases. If they wanted to make anything illegal, it should be sugar, whole wheat bread, sweet fruits and their juices, potatoes, and all other starchy snacks and sugary drinks.

The point is, the drivers license is proof of identity, and once your identity has been proven your citizenship status can easily be looked up... if the law enforcement officers are so inclined to take the trouble. So it does prove your citizenship, only indirectly.

Probable cause is required for a LEO to detain someone. If somebody stopped for a traffic violation produces a valid Arizona drivers license, there is no probable cause to believe they are here illegally.
