Kansas Supreme Court Rules Passing Sobriety Test Is Meaningless

"Roadside sobriety tests can be used only to gather evidence to convict a driver, not to exonerate him, according to the Kansas Supreme Court. The decision came down in the case of Bruno Edgar, who was stopped at a driver's license roadblock on July 29, 2007. The officer decided to conduct three of the standard field sobriety tests. Edgar passed the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, passed the one-leg stand and 'did fine' on the nine-step walk-and-turn test. The officer then told Edgar he had no choice but to submit to a preliminary breath test (PBT) and that he had no right to consult an attorney regarding the test. Edgar failed and was convicted of DUI." Continue reading →

Is Your Local Police Department Using Pictures of Pregnant Women and Children for Target Practice?

"What if I told you police in your town could desensitize themselves to the idea of shooting a (armed) child, pregnant woman, or young mother, for just a couple of bucks?

For less than 99 cents per target, police can shoot at real-life images 'designed to give officers the experience of dealing with deadly force shooting scenarios with subjects that are not the norm during training.'

Singaporean photographer Leslie Kee arrested for selling art book containing uncensored genitalia

"The 41 year old, who has taken pictures of a number of Japanese pop stars including Ayumi Hamasaki, Yumi Matsutoya, and Kumi Koda, as well as internationally famous models Naomi Campbell and Maggi Q, was taken into police custody along with two employees of the book’s publisher at an art gallery in Tokyo. Officials say the gallery showing for Kee’s photography was held in Tokyo’s Minami Aoyama district. It was there that the three sold seven copies of the illegal book to two different customers.

Paris women allowed to wear pants after two hundred year-old ban is lifted

"An archaic by-law banning Parisian women from wearing trousers has finally been repealed 214 years after it was originally introduced. The November 1799 decree stipulated that any woman wishing to wear men’s clothing in the French capital had to seek official permission from the city authorities. It was amended two times a century later, when women were given the freedom to don 'pantalons' [trousers] if they were 'holding the handlebars of a bicycle or the reins of a horse.' The decree was passed when the working class fashion of wearing long trousers (as opposed to the aristocratic knee-length 'culottes') became a symbol of the French revolution." Continue reading →

NC lawmaker: Women should ‘duct tape’ nipples to stay out of jail

"Republican state Rep. Tim Moore says that women can protect themselves from a new law that makes baring female breasts illegal by simply applying duct tape to their nipples. On Wednesday, House Judiciary Committee C approved House Bill 34, which makes it a Class H felony to purposefully expose 'private parts' for the 'purpose of arousing or gratifying sexual desire.' The bill expands the state’s definition of 'private parts' to include a woman’s 'nipple, or any portion of the areola.' Republican state Rep. Rayne Brown told lawmakers that she was co-sponsoring the bill because activists had held a topless women’s rights rally last summer." Continue reading →

Moms in Spain Strip to Raise Money for School Bus

"A group of mothers at a school in eastern Spain has decided to appear nude in an erotic calendar with the aim of collecting the 43,000 euros ($55,000) needed to restore school transportation services for their children. The problem, the mothers say, is that the 80 students at the school have had their school transportation taken away by decision of the regional authorities, and they say that their kids have to walk 6 kilometers (3.72 miles) over unpaved roads to get to class. The mothers, most of whom are young, are posing for the calendar inside bus stop shelters or next to the steep embankments of the town." Continue reading →
