Today's episode of "Automaniac" on the History Channel featured police
cars. In the last segment, the host, driving a Crown Vic, pulls a
driver over and gives him a ticket for driving 15 MPH *below* the
speed limit.

I guess I'm not the only one who thinks Sloth is a criminal offense!

Hey, you CAN be ticketed for that. The speed limit doesn't just apply to
driving too fast. While minimum speed limits are usually not posted, they
do exist. It is unfortunate that Bill Goldberg is the only cop in recorded
history who has ever enforced the minimums, though. -Dave

Minimum Speed Limits makes it virtually impossible to travel on Public
Highways using any Locomotion other than the Locomotion Ordinarly used,
the Automobile.

We have a Right to Travel on Public Highways.

"Undoubtedly the right of locomotion, the right to remove from one
place to another according to inclination, is an attribute of personal
liberty, and the right, ordinarily, of free transit from or through the
territory of any state is a right secured by the 14th Amendment and by
other provisions of the Constitution." - Williams v. Fears, 179 U.S.

We have the Right to the Locomotion Ordinarily used for Personal Travel
on our Public Highways.

WWE (WWF) Professional Wrestler, turned TV show host. He hosts a new
program (Discovery channel, I think?) called Automaniac. Basically, the
program seems to celebrate driving, especially as it relates to being behind
the wheel of classic muscle cars and other vehicles with high horsepower to
weight ratios. The last episode was supposed to center around cop cars. I
didn't catch that episode, but I take it Bill Goldberg cited someone (on
camera) for driving too slow. :) -Dave
