Traffic Referee rules against Jonathan Frieman in corporate personhood case
Follow-up to our story from last week about Jonathan Frieman, the man who drove in the carpool lane with corporation papers for ten years trying to get pulled over, by Justin Berton for the San Francisco Chronicle:
[Traffic Referee Frank] Drago directed Greene and Frieman to the vehicle code’s subsection, which addresses the intent of the carpool lane – to relieve traffic congestion.
“Common sense says carrying a sheath of papers in the front seat does not relieve traffic congestion,” Drago said. “And so I’m finding you guilty.”
Burned pretty hard.
Frieman’s going to appeal, of course.
