As one of the initial people that started this thread of discussion and one of the three people who got a $335 ticket....I wish I could "un-ring" the bell that started this whole discussion, it seems to have morphed into something unproductive. I'd say STOP! but that would seem inappropriately ironic coming from me...considering that my alleged lack of stopping started this fire....

There have been some very thoughtful and productive "closure on this issue" emails posted in the last 24 hours. Thank you to those people. ...We appear for our tickets next Monday. We'll let you all know how it goes. Can it rest until then???

thanks,

Tim Schauer

Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] The behavior of North Plains Police

Let me see if I understand this. So you are saying that the SS, who ran the concentration camps during WWII and were responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews, is akin to the Police Chief in North Plains, OR citing a cyclist for running a stop sign. Call me crazy, but I guess I'm just having a hard time making that connection.

In this post 911 world, where we have become desensitized to the extreme acts
of gov't, comparisons to traumatic historical events are very appropriate.
