VIDEO: Motorcyclist Tapes His Own Traffic Stop...At Gunpoint
8:03 AM

Imagine being cut off by a plain-looking sedan and having a guy dressed in street clothes get out and approach you with a gun in his hand.
It happened in Maryland. Turns out the guy with the gun was a state trooper. Fortunately, Anthony Graber had a helmet cam and taped the whole thing.
Also unfortunately, because he's being charged with violating a state law against taping a conversation with another without their consent.
This is going to be one interesting court case.

The Scarlet Sticker: New Jersey Teens Branded By License Plate Sticker
6:34 AM
deli
Imagine the Springsteen lyrics if they'd come up with this idea in the 70s: New Jersey is requiring drivers under 21 to affix a red sticker to the upper left corner of their license plates. They'll pay $4 for the decal, a $100 fine if they remove it, and police will be able to use the sticker as probable cause for pulling over drivers for teen-specific offenses like curfew violations.
