“If our goal is to change behavior, and if it takes an officer an hour and a half to change the behavior, and if you can get the same results by leaving (the car) parked, that's the part that we're analyzing,” Schwedhelm said.

Better yet, why is it that only Hispanics are forgiven for their crimes and all legal Americans must pay for their violations? :confused:
