The defendant argued that he did not see the unmarked police cruiser coming until it was too late to avoid the accident.

In 2005, the city of Minneapolis began using red-light cameras. Red light cameras are positioned at stop lights to take pictures of the license plates of vehicles that run the red light.

The city mailed out fines to the car owners, and required the owners to sign the form and return it with a $142 fine, or face an arrest warrant.  Many car owners were outraged when they recieved their ticket in the mail, claiming that they were not driving the car at the time of the infraction.

They may have committed a high crime, but a former Dearborn cop and his wife are only going to be charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly smoking pot in Dearborn Heights.

Edward Sanchez, 30, and his wife, Stacy, 27, are expected to turn themselves in for arraignment on one charge each of using marijuana, according assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Maria Miller.

On April 21, 2006, Sanchez, who lives in Dearborn Heights, called 911 in a panic after he and his wife ate brownies laced with marijuana he said he took from criminal suspects.

Dearborn police allowed Sanchez to resign from his job on May 23, 2006, even though investigators said he admitted to taking the marijuana from his police car and using it to make the brownies. Dearborn police reports the Free Press obtained said Sanchez told investigators he planned to use the marijuana to train his police dog.

Dearborn police have declined to discuss their handling of the matter.

A recording of Sanchez’s 911 call – during which he said he thought he and his wife were dying and asked a dispatcher for the score of the Red Wings’ game – became fodder for comedians and Internet parodies after it appeared on the internet.
