Sounds like a few years ago when credit card companies were sending pre-

But, apparently, there is a car outthere that is in this girl's name or
the cops have their records screwed up. If the cops had any morals what-
so-ever, they would look into that.

The only ambiguity is how to classify the police's motives in this case:
either sheer unmitigated greed or total and complete imcompetence.

Yeah, incompetence usually is.

Of course they will: pay up or else.

Government doesn't make mistakes. Notice their first reaction was that
there were crimes committed, not that there was a mistake.

Nor does it have any morals what-so-ever.

Too bad that they don't have the brass to 1) admit the mistake (yeah, I
know I delusional) or 2) go after the real criminal.
> not that there was a mistake.
Only mistake occurred 9 months before most government workers were born.

This article ranks up there with reports heard on local news of Tasers
being used on school students as young as 6. The only sound missing
from the background is the rhythm of goose-steps.

The pets thing I can understand, as people would fill out warranty
registration cards and stuff using their pets' names. But HTF did the
police get a 2-year-old's name as either the registered owner or the
driver of the speeding car?
It's obvious a mistake was made, but I can't quite understand HOW
(and, since the report comes from the mainstream media, there isn't
enough information to figure it out).

Maybe some ID theft going on? As in someone put got the girl's name
and address on a DL and used that to buy the car. For all we know, it
could be the parents who did it....

Government workers are not always the sharpest knives in the drawer,
Scott. I thought you knew that... ;)

Does it normally take 5 months from alleged offense (27/05/2007) to
ticket (31/10/2007)?

Perhaps the South Yorkshire Police are as slow and incompetent as you
are.

Oh man. That comment gave the South Yorkshire Police the appearance
of making the Keystone Kops look like the Green Berets. :^D
Off the keyboard, throgh te connections, nothing but Net.
We'll know it's gone out of hand when the police taser the kid in
front of the parents.
That's worth another beer for you, Hector. Ja, ja, ja, ja, BR?ST!
