Innocent Of Speeding? In MA, You'll Pay Up Anyway →
Going to traffic court used to be so simple. If you were found guilty, you paid the fine and associated costs, then went home to wait for your auto insurance premium to increase. Those days are gone, at least in Massachusetts: if you’re found not guilty of a traffic offense there, you still get to pay fees out of pocket for the appeal of your citation to a clerk-magistrate (which costs $20), or...

If the National Transportation Safety Board has its way, cellphone use of all kinds behind the wheel — from texting down to talking hands-free with a headset — will be illegal in all 50 of these United States.

Police car in Miami is on the up and up →
MIAMI—

The incident happened about 6 a.m. near Northwest 67th Street and 6th Avenue. WSVN Ch. 7 reported that the officer became distracted while driving and that his car...

Rape within the US military has become so widespread that it is estimated that a female soldier in Iraq is more likely to be attacked by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. So great is the issue that a group of veterans are suing the Pentagon to force reform. The lawsuit, which includes three men and 25 women (the suit initially involved 17 plaintiffs but grew to 28) who claim to have...

Russia's stunning protests end with hint of change →
MOSCOW (AP) — Tens of thousands of people held the largest anti-government protests that post-Soviet Russia has ever seen on Saturday to criticize electoral fraud and demand an end to Vladimir Putin’s rule. Police showed surprising restraint and state-controlled TV gave the nationwide demonstrations unexpected airtime, but there is no indication the opposition is strong enough to push for...
