Woman Claims Extra-Terrestrial Traffic Law Immunity 4

When an officer tried to give 40-year-old Eilish De Avalon a ticket she politely told him that she was a being from another world and therefore, "Your laws and penalties don't apply to me. I'm not accepting them, I'm sorry, I must go, thank you." She then drove off with the policeman's arm caught in her door. In the interest of keeping up good relations with humans, De Avalon plead guilty to recklessly causing serious injury, dangerous driving and driving while suspended, using a mobile phone while driving and failing to stop on police request.

  • Just goes to show the lengths people will go to try to get out of a ticket... sad really.
  • The biggest problem would be that intergalactic (or at least interstellar) regulation terms are unknown to most policemen. And even if they knew of some, which one(s) would apply? Shall the cop report to the M.I.B or, according to the Shadow Proclamation, ask the name of her species and gently ask her to leave our level 5 planet? Honestly, aliens are no longer what they used to be...
  • Just last week, some goofball alien teenagers flew into the back pasture, buzzed the place, killed some cows, picked up members of my family, probed them anally and had sex with them. I want COMPENSATION, dang it!
