... (link).
His tale concerns woman in Alabama who'd been stopped by local police for a moving violation (not turning her headlights on, which needless to say could be quite dangerous).

Local clergy and advocates alerted me because...

California's educational system in even worse shape than previously thought - 03/11/06
