USSR-PA

Remember this bullshit?

The courts in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Pennsylvania have upheld PennDot's decision to recall a Keith Emerich's driver’s license for telling his doctor that he drank beer. The judge ruled that Mr. Emerich could continue to drive, but only if he installed and ignition interlock device - a device normally used for repeat DUI offenders. Emerich was convicted of DUI 23 years ago, but has had a "mostly clean driving record" ever since according to the article.

It's a sad day when the courts can trump common sense and constitutional law.

Be careful of what you tell your doctor!

The ignition interlock is still being used? That's defeated with a can of compressed air from the dollar store.

What geniuses.

Apparently and like the soviets, they aren't very fast to catch on to new technology either!
