NEW ORLEANS -- An Eyewitness News investigation has found potential traffic code violations on several public cars driven by New Orleans officials. And these officials are the very people responsible for holding motorists to task for the very same violations – the judges of traffic court.

A close inspection of Judge Jones’ city-owned Mercury Grand Marquis LS showed that it also was outfitted with another device that poses a potential traffic violation. His license plate obscured by a plastic cover that reflects flash cameras, including the dozens of traffic cameras used to collect millions of dollars from tickets in New Orleans.

Driving with an illegible plate is a violation of both city and state law.

Yup. Isn't that always the way?

Like AZ AG Tom Horne (http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/20121030horne-hit-run-thousand-dollars-damage.html) who was busted for a hit and run, and only because he was being surveilled by the FBI, which he evidently doesn't like. Join the club, bub.


No one has explained (http://www.azfamily.com/home/related/Statement-from-AZ-Attorney-General-Tom-Horne-176519511.html) why FBI Agents, investigating whether there were alleged campaign finance violations in 2010, were surveilling me in 2012.

Like they say to us mundanes, "Because f*** you, that's why."

Be nice to see use of technologies in spray coatings to create a transparent 'beaded' paint that is done in a two layer application.

1st spray coat: Tranparent beaded paint obfuscates your license number/letters/etc and reflects a blank image to any photo cameras

2nd coat, uses a alpha stencil that 'transparently' writes FAQUE U over the first coat.

“No vehicle shall be driven on the streets of this city with any vehicle license plate which is mutilated, defaced, damaged, or obscured in such a manner as to make the letters and numerals thereon illegible."

Actually, I'd fight that. They are visible and legible to the naked eye, just not the cameras.

He probably will and who knows he may win.

Justice served!

Another hypocrite who subjects us mundanes to absurd and tyrannical laws walks away scot-free.
