Ut Oh I AM A Trouble-Maker

Company director Gary Sanders was speaking on a hands-free phone as he was travelling to work when police in the Mersey Tunnel ordered him to pull over.
Mr Sanders, 47, said he was stunned to be told by a traffic officer that laughing while driving a car can be an offence.
The managing director of Spontex Workwear said: "I couldn't believe it when he told me I'd been pulled over for for laughing.
"I was driving very safely in the tunnel and took a call from a friend on my hands-free phone.
"He said something funny and I was laughing - simple as that. I never took my eyes off the road and was in full control of the car.
I was astonished that he could say that laughing might be an offence. What is the country coming to?Motorist Gary Sanders
"I was astonished that he could say that laughing might be an offence. What is the country coming to?"
Supt Kevin Hagger of the Mersey Tunnels Police said: "I wouldn't want to make a comment as I don't know the full details.
"There is no record of the incident in the system so it seems the gentleman was just spoken to by the officer and the matter not taken any further."
A spokesman for the Association of British Drivers, Brian Gregory said: "This is a shocking example of the police harassing innocent motorists simply because they are an easy target.
"To suggest that a driver could be prosecuted for laughing is ludicrous beyond belief."

Remote police blotter gains readers worldwide
By Kim Murphy Los Angeles Times
DUTCH HARBOR, Alaska — It was shortly after 7 a.m. when police saw the man on a bicycle, a smear of blood around his mouth and more dribbling from cuts on his forearms.
But he had an explanation.
A former girlfriend "turned me on to vampirism," he told the officers, but he was ready to put all that behind him. Was there somewhere he could find a priest?
"Officers advised the man to conceal his predilection, in order to avoid alarming the public," said the police report, apparently mindful of the trouble that can ensue in a boisterous fishing port when the public gets alarmed.
The weekly police blotter that chronicles the bar fights, eagle attacks, yowling foxes, distraught psychics and dockside melees in Dutch Harbor — part of the city of Unalaska in the Aleutian Islands, about 800 miles southwest of Anchorage in the Bering Sea — has become a must-read throughout Alaska and far-flung parts of the globe.
