I was arresting for "running a stop sign" while driving on a federal property... ( a NASA facility where I worked ).

You can't pay a fine or go to traffic school. It is a federal crime. You have to go to federal court.

So there I was sitting in a row of defendants, all of them in orange jump suits and shackles and me in jeans and a t-shirt...

And the federal judge was NOT HAPPY... "Mr. LAPFOG... I don't know what the hell you have been charged with or why you are here. You promise to drive more carefully on base? me: Yes, your honor. Judge: OK, case dismissed you are free to go!... and then she turned to the prosecution "I don't want to see anymore of this crap in my courtroom! You understand me?"

So... when I read the title to this post... I was thinking, yeah that COULD happen.
