A fun right-to-travel side issue


Judges and lawmakers are always whistling past the dark in relation to our rights. Travel rights go through many phases with them. They put up red-light cameras to keep people honest and responsible, but then found ticket revenues tanked in response! Some communities therefore took away the cameras. Courts will ban radar detectors, and then in some areas find the machines were similarly actually an overall good and change their minds back again.

Here a fed judge who's liberated another travel right -- excitingly!

Federal judge rules drivers allowed to flash headlights to warn of speed traps

Prone as I am to cynicism, I think this ruling is just great and entirely right in intent, as is the help the ACLU gave. The judge supports our rights -- that's the bottom line as far as one can tell. First Amendment meets Privileges and Immunities Clause!

The defendant's last name is Elli, the case hinged in Ellisville. Wonder if there's a connection, Southern-style.

Travel rights are avidly aired at PN meetings and in PN egroups. Come on in, the water's fine!
