[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3165971, member: 5412"] Not sure I'll have time this year to read all the statutes and apply them to the brain, but was just rolling on your comments of rough law. I understand, but do disagree with being able to be prosecuted for anything at any time. You should only be prosecuted when circumstances produce a preponderance of evidence to make a prosecution in the interest of the community, not just because of hearsay. Prosecution for anything at any time brings back nightmares of Joyce Gilchrist and Bob Macy. I was lectured by a judge one time on a traffic incident when I stated I didn't know the law existed about parking in some restricted area when it wasn't actually posted a restricted area. (loading zone) He told me I was responsible to know the law. My response was to ask him to recite all the Oklahoma traffic laws from memory before me in court and if he couldn't, I should be found not guilty. He got a little pissy at that point in time, but dismissed it. Municipal judges leave a lot to be desired, but I guess it's training ground for higher office. [/QUOTE]
