Police Accepting Toys in Exchange for Payment of Tickets

RANSON, West Virginia-

If you have a speeding ticket in Ranson, you may want to head to the toy store.

As a part of their program `Slow Down for the Holidays,` Ranson Police are dismissing speeding tickets if the drivers agree to buy a toy for a needy child.

Officers will deliver the toys to children on Christmas Eve. The toys for tickets program is expected to become very popular.

Cool initiative Heh nice one!

Try telling that to Gordon Brown...

I get the feeling that Gordon Brown would tax toys at tripple rate during the festive season if he thought he could get away with it just to boost the cash flow of the govt. coffers... think of it as a Christmas Tax and Gordon as the Anti-Santa.

How they justify the rate of duty on fuel still amazes me.
