75-cent toll glitch buys cuffs (http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080123/FRONTPAGE/801230301)
It was 2 a.m. when Eric Kinkopf, an English teacher at Brewster Academy, was pulled over for speeding Sunday in Chichester. He was driving 61 mph in a 40 mph zone, but that isn't why the police handcuffed him, towed his car and fingerprinted him at the station.
Kinkopf, 57, of Wolfeboro, was driving with a suspended license and registration. The problem? A 75-cent E-ZPass toll violation that he had already paid.
"I have never felt as humiliated - even though I knew I did nothing wrong - to be handcuffed and put in the backseat of the cruiser," Kinkopf said yesterday.
