I assume, of course, that criminal charges won't become similarly transferable, though who knows?Einzigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406227217230727209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-10852165614552472082008-12-22T06:27:00.000-07:002008-12-22T06:27:00.000-07:00That could potentially work here for civil violati...That could potentially work here for civil violations, but would require legislation to enact that kind of liability.<BR/><BR/>I don't think it could work for criminal violations (in Arizona, speeding 20 mph or more over the limit is a criminal violation).
