Here's one you'll want to hear updates about...
Guy suggests solution to yellow light problem, gets fined $500 for not being licensed.

You've got to read it to really understand all the different angles this story takes. Long story short, this guy suggests that yellow lights are too short and in retaliation, his city fined him $500 for not being licensed by them. Now he suing them and he's got libertarians backing him. I'm betting they wish they had handled him differently now.

His crusade to make traffic lights remain yellow longer — which began after his wife received a red-light camera ticket — has drawn some interest among transportation specialists and the media. But among the power brokers in his hometown, Beaverton, it has elicited ridicule and exasperation.
