i mean seriously fs - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4591869.stm
" A chicken fined $54 for illegally crossing a road in California has had the charge thrown out by a court."

To commit a minor offence in the process

Re: What kind of morons...
In Norway, you don't even get fined for jaywalking. (You might be taken in for public disorder, but then the police really hates you)
In Denmark, I've heard stories about people getting told by the police (after reciving a fine) that when they walk on red they are "pissing on the queen".

What lawsuit? They were issued a citation by the county sheriff under a California ordinance prohibiting livestock on highways. They challenged the citation and won.

Re: What kind of morons...
if that chicken would have caused an accident on that road you probably would think differently. but, i have to admit, to fine the chicken instead of its owner is one of the most stupid things i ever heared.

Re: What kind of morons...
I somehow doubt that even they expected the chicken to cough up the $54.

A bit of sensationalism never hurt anyone I guess. But yeah, it was actually still the owners that were fined,
