[ST] Inoperative red light

[donnydogood <donalddraper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 >>> I know in Oregon that there's no provision for running a red light, 
even if it's defective. <<<

    1)  If you are a legally licensed rider operating a legally 
registered and insured bike, in any state in the union, the traffic 
light is REQUIRED by law to recognize you;... if it does not do so it is 
INOPERATIVE by definition.  Every state has a procedure to follow when 
confronted by an inoperative traffic light,... usually something like 
'come to a full stop and proceed when it is safe to do so'.

    2)  Having said that, you must be willing to take your case to court 
and prepared to file an appeal if the judgment is against you.  
Prosecutors and courts not only have very limited knowledge of the law 
but they couldn't care less.  However if you lose the first time, the 
judge has made an error in law and your appeal will be sure to win on 
that basis.  If you are being mugged and want to keep your money, you 
have to fight.  If you get a ticket and want to keep your money, you 
have to fight.  Bear in mind that the purpose of our system of justice 
is to create income for those who operate the system,... that's why it 
came into being and that's why it exists today.  If it ever stops 
producing that income it will cease to exist forthwith.

                                Non Carborundum Illegitimae;

                                              dowgydoodoo        - - - -
