BILL TAPS TRAFFIC VIOLATORS FOR TRAUMA FUNDING–Harrington got the idea from biker group.Trauma centers around the state would get a much needed financial boost from some of their most frequent patients — drivers who run red lights — under a bill that jacks up the fines for the crime.

And House Bill 65, sponsored by House Speaker Pro Tempore Lindsay Harrington, R-Punta Gorda, would also turn the motorcyclist advocacy group American Bikers Aiming Toward Education into a major educator.

Under an amendment tacked onto the bill Tuesday, ABATE of Florida would receive $1 million per year “for the purpose of fostering motorcycle safety awareness, education and research programs relating to accident prevention.”

Last year, the organization had to “rob Peter to pay Paul” in order to spend about $150,000 on educational programs, said James “Doc” Reichenbach II, ABATE’s capital lobbyist.

“I want to see this thing go to billboards,” Reichenbach said of the education campaign. “I want to send my people into high schools. I want to hold safety seminars to see what we can do to reduce accidents and injuries.”

His comments came after the House Transportation Committee voted unanimously Tuesday to pass the bill.* Currently, if a driver runs a red light and no one is injured the driver can be fined up to $60 and assessed three points against his license. No court appearance is required.

Under the bill, the fine would be increased to $125, four points would be assessed, and a court appearance would be required.

* Currently, if the driver runs a red light and causes “serious bodily injury” in a crash, a court appearance would be mandatory and a judge could assess a fine from $60 to $500.

Under the bill, the judge must impose a $500 fine and suspend the driver’s license for three months.

* Currently, if a driver runs a red light and kills another person, a judge could fine up to $1,000.

Under the bill, the $1,000 fine would be mandatory and the license would be suspended for six months.

The increased penalties would generate an additional $57.6 million, according to an analysis by transportation committee staff. All but $1 million for ABATE would get put into a trauma center trust fund.

BIKERNET PROJECTOR ROOM UPDATE–I was requested to submit the three novels to a new production company that is affiliated in some way Sony. (They only have 150,000,000, which means each project must be rather inexpensive (probably under 20 mil). Guess I will have to whip up some treatments quick. I have been thinking that all the stories should be set in a future somewhat like in Orwell. The last outlaw narrates and is telling stories to younger guys about the old days when outlaws roamed freely. This will tie everything together for sequels or a series.

ROGUE BAD COP FILES– Deputy busted for DUI South Carolina – A Charleston County sheriff’s deputy has been charged with driving under the influence.

Twenty-two year old Deputy Joshua Alexander Tackett of Johns Island was off duty when he was arrested by Charleston police Monday morning.

City officials say Tackett refused to take a breath test and was released on a one thousand dollar bond.

Sheriff’s Captain Dana Valentine says Tackett will be on leave without pay pending the outcome of the charges.

Trial is scheduled March 24th.

Tackett has been a sheriff’s deputy since December 2002.

Bad Cop… No Doughnut! Note another cop refusing to take breath test. Do they know some thing about the machines being used that we do not???

BAD COPS AGAIN– Retrial of 3 cops in gun planting incident to begin Florida – Jury selection began slowly Monday for the retrial of three police officers accused of covering up the planting of guns at scenes where police killed two fleeing robbers.

The judge and lawyers questioned 11 jury candidates and dropped three of them by late afternoon from an initial pool of 43 people. A previous jury deadlocked on four officers while convicting three others and acquitting three.

The officers could face up to five years in prison if convicted. All three are charged with conspiracy, and two are charged with perjury and obstruction of justice.

Lt. Israel Gonzalez, Sgt. Jose Quintero and Officer Jorge Garcia are on paid suspension under the 2001 federal indictment.

Bad Cop… No Doughnut!

ANOTHER BAD COP– Cop to be sentenced on counterfeiting charge Connecticut – A former Waterbury police officer is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday on a counterfeiting charge.

Effrin Ellison pleaded guilty in December to passing $420 in counterfeit money in 2001.

Prosecutors said the 39-year-old Ellison admitted that while on duty as a Waterbury police officer and in uniform he passed $20 bills at a Waterbury toy store. He said he bought video games and a video game playing system.

He testified that he knew the bills were fake. He was caught on videotape passing the phony money.

Ellison faces up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $250,000.

Bad Cop… No Doughnut!

MAD MAX PRESENTS-TEN SIMPLE RULES FOR DATING MY DAUGHTER–Rule One:If you pull into my driveway and honk you’d better be delivering a package, because you’re sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two:You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter’s body, I will remove them.

Rule Three:I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don’t take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose his compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four:I’m sure you’ve been told that in today’s world, sex without utilizing a “barrier method” of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is “early.”

Rule Six:I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven:As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don’t you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight:The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka – zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine:Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten:Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car – there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.
