Quote by: Nono An anecdote I heard is that some guy in NH was hauled into court for taping over the slogan on his licence plates and successfully defended himself on the grounds that if that slogan doesn't mean you can tape it over, what does it mean? |
Definitely kewl :) Yes, that's New Hampshire.
I'd love to see the fully informed jury ideas in practice as well. As a juror you don't merely judge whether or not someone violated a law, but whether or not the law itself is a valid one. If a law said people were required to jump off a cliff, and someone went to court, it's the responsibility of the jurors to nullify that law and not hold the person guilty for violating a bogus law.
