Fire chief shot by cop in Ark. court over tickets - Yahoo! News: "It was just too much, having to return to court twice on the same day to contest yet another traffic ticket, and Fire Chief Don Payne didn't hesitate to tell the judge what he thought of the police and their speed traps.
The response from cops? They shot him. Right there in court."

Great story.
With 174 residents, the city can keep seven police officers on its rolls...Meanwhile, sheriff's deputies want to know where the money from the traffic fines went. Martin said that it appeared the $150 tickets weren't enough to protect the city's finances. Sheriff's deputies once had to repossess one of the town's police cruisers for failure to pay on a lease, and the state Forestry Commission recently repossessed one of the city's fire trucks because of nonpayment.
I love it. The whole thing's bizarre.
I sense a Steven Segall direct-to-DVD movie in the works. He'll be the guy who comes into town to clean up. "Speeding tickets? Not on my watch!"
Hey, I'd watch it.
