Write your reply.

assistant: (1:108/285)
Al,
 I have a question regarding "Window Tint" on the O.R.C. chapter
 4513.241 as it relates to its reference to the O.A.C. section 4501-41,
 specifically 4501-41-03 (a)(3) in that section, I was recently stopped
 (5-3-96) by the Highway Patrol for this and went to court in akron on
 (5-21-96), I should mention also I work for an Investigation Agency
 which the trooper was made aware of at the time of the stop, he also
 took a lock-out tool from my vehicle ("slim-jim") stating it was a
 criminal tool, it has since been replaced by the Commander at the
 Highway Patrol Post which he is from.
 I need to know what *your* interpretation of the OAC is as mine says it
 is vague as exactly which window they mean specifically, I take it as
 being the front window(s) to both the Immediate left and right side of
 the driver and the rear most window on the vehicle (regardless of the
 type), Except for Limos and Buses.
 The trooper stated there was a supreme court ruling stating that all
 windows are to conform to the 50% rule, not just the ones I've
 mentioned. Also, he stated that he "couldn't see into the vehicle on
 approach to it", this is b*ll as he stated when he stopped me, he could
 see into it.
 "Being a duly sworn officer, and I myself an officer of the court as an
  Ohio Notary, I can not see him intentionally, knowingly and willfully
  lying to the court for his own benefit."
 Now, he also didn't measure the windows with a proper measuring devise,
 he just looked at it and said they're to dark, but in court he used film
 cards, which were not identified as to which was what percentage.
 If thats the case, can you direct me to the ruling by the supreme court
 on this so I may read it and get a copy for myself.
 I would sincerely appreciate any assistance you can give me.
Sincerely, SCharles

This case was heard by the Supreme Court about December 20, 1997.  No
decision as yet (which is typical of the Supremes, probably be about
July before the decision is released).  Justice Scalia said he would be
more sympathetic if the "victim" had been an innocent by-stander.
Observers report that the justice did not seem inclined to decide for
the plaintiffs.  Justice Scalia commented that it "takes two to make a
chase."  The deputy's lawyer argued that the simple remedy in this case
was to pull over and stop and yield to lawful authority."
The case comes from chase with a motorcycle in California.  The chase
forced two cars off the road and a bicyclist off the road.  The pursuit
ended when the motorcycle skidded to a halt and the pursuing squad car
hit the passenger of the motorcycle, a sixteen year old boy.
The defense argument is that police who give chase should only be held
legally liable if their actions would "shock the conscience."  A federal
judge threw out the suit filed by the youth's parents but the 9th
Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated it.  The federal appeals court set a
more lenient standard, saying the parents could force Smith to pay
damages if they could show he acted with "deliberate indifference...or
reckless disregard."

                (1) he makes or alters an object, in whole or in part,
                so that it appears to have value because of age, antiquity,
                rarity, source, or authorship that it does not have;
                (2)he possesses an object so made or altered, with
                intent to sell, pass, or otherwise utter it; or
                (3) he authenticates or certifies an object so made or
                altered as genuine or as different from what it is.
        (b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.

I have heard of a few cases over the last thirty years.  Like everything
else, it is possible to have factory defects in firearms.  The one case
I am most acquainted with was a S&W 39 which was dropped and fired
hitting an officer.  None of the ones using a "floating" firing pin
"should" do that but they rarely do.  Sometimes it is caused by poor
maintenance, the firing pin becomes dirty/corroded and sticks.
Sometimes the various safeties fail.  Rare but it does happen.

That would be true on any revolver that was manufactured prior to the

because i have this compulsive mischief on the roads (ie. i think its cool to

concern is about speeding (and subsequently red-light cams :) )... anyway,
yeah.. do the cops need to pull you over in order to penalize the driver's
license merit points ? because how can they know which license number (ie.
WHO exactly was the driver) to attribute the penalty ?
and as with the above case, how can speed-cams know _exactly_ who was the
driver busted ? i mean, my car could've been STOLEN for all i care and hence
it was not ME who was driving and it was not ME who should be penalized :)
