I hate these laws.  That said, I saw a local police cruiser that was a confiscated car.  It  was hilarious, they turned a PT Cruiser into a police car and are actually making a cop drive around in that embarrassing thing.  Now I'm wishing all the local drug dealers started driving Smart cars.

This behavior by the police is despicable and deplorable and needs to be reigned in!

I think I read that somewhere.

Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
