When they caught Kennesaw police officer Richard Perrone speeding 17 miles an hour over the speed limit, the cop was not happy. Rather than obey the laws that Perrone is sworn to uphold, the officer decided to press charges against the Sipples for stalking.
This family set up equipment to monitor traffic on a PUBLIC street in their neighborhood, because officers like Perrone were apparently too busy pursuing vendettas to enforce the traffic laws, let alone obey them.
What was the big rush, Perrone? Were you on the way to the courthouse to sue somebody for writing down your license plates?
In case you want to let Perrone's supervisors know what you think of his actions (and exercise your constitutional right to seek redress from your government for greivances), here is the contact information for the Kennesaw Police Department:

I guess it could be worse. Cops in many parts of the country would use a nightstick rather than a stalking charge. But police intimidation in any form should not be tolerated.

The number of felony waivers granted by the Army grew from 411 in 2003 to 901 in 2006, according to the
Pentagon, or about one in 10 of the moral waivers approved that year. Other misdemeanors, which could be petty theft, writing a bad check or some assaults, jumped from about 2,700 to more than 6,000 in 2006. The minor crimes represented more than three-quarters of the moral waivers granted by the Army in 2006, up from more than half in 2003.

Cook County is taking its first small steps along the path to Rock's plan. A measure introduced by Cook County Board Commissioner Roberto Maldonado would institute a 10 cent per bullet tax on all ammunition sold in the county.
THE BULLET POINTS
A look at how much of an effect a fee on bullets would have - from small fries to big shots:
10 cents: Deputy Barney Fife, if he bought his own police-issued bullet and was able to join the Cook County Sheriff's Department.
$50: Terry "Tank" Johnson, if the Bears defensive tackle made the trip across the county line for the 500 rounds of ammunition allegedly found in his Lake County home.
$530,368: If every person in Cook County, 5,303,683 according to 2005 U.S. Census estimates, were to do his or her part and buy one bullet.
$600,000,000: From the U.S. military, if Cook County could get its 10-cent fee for the average 1.5 billion rounds of small arms ammunition used each year of the nearly four years of the Iraq war.
