>>Don't forget the part about his being abusive to the officer each and every time (I assume including the first time). Maybe they are laying for him, but still, all he had to do after the first time would have been to obey the law. After all, you can get painted decals that are see-through and don't obstruct your view. Sounds to me like the guy is gunning to be ticketed.

>You're probably right. He likely just wants to get it to the point where he can make an issue of it in court and get his political agenda widely heard.

From what I'm seeing around here, Ron Paul's whole campaign is trying to be grassroots. I'm seeing small stenciled posters (or printed at home or even handwritten) glued to traffic sign poles or lampposts, really small but just in anyone's line of vision when waiting at the lights. So this guy is probably trying to pull a cheap one - not sure if that'll get him too far, but may get him too deep ;).
