Ha! Take that copper.The "artist" who created the pedal-powered Buick Regal and was ticketed by one of Toronto's finest on the creation's maiden voyage has been vindicated in a Canadian court. Trevor Baldwin thought the charge of "operating an unsafe motor vehicle" was a total crock since everything which made the car a motor vehicle had been stripped out, so he did what any good troublemaker does — challenge the ticket in court. Seems the law was on his side as the prosecutor was literally laughed at when attempting to make the case. The judge then proceeded to toss the case out on its ear. Consider this a win for pedal-powered car building artist hippies everywhere in Canada. [CBC]
