My experience with the law is that cops are out to fulfill a ticket quota. If there is any way they can squeeze out an extra ticket -they will.
I like the idea of telling the scuzzy guy to get off the bench. But give the police a new law and chances are they won't care how the law was intended -they will just write the ticket.
Co-incedently my sister got a ticket for looking at a map while stopped at a streetlight. A cop gave her a ticket for it. When she went to court (as opposed to paying the fine via the mail) the judge threw it out. It seems that said law was intended for people who look at maps while driving and get into accidents.
