Fight Over $194 Speeding Ticket Costs $15,000 and Counting 48
An anonymous reader writes "Roger Rude, a retired Sonoma County sheriff's lieutenant, is still fighting a speeding ticket his step-son, Shaun Malone, received in 2007. Shaun Malone was allegedly going 62 mph in a 45-mph zone, according to a Petaluma police officer. To the officer's surprise, Malone was using a GPS tracking device which reported his speed to an online database every 30 seconds. At the time of stop, the GPS reported Malone's speed at 45 mph. Rude has been helping Malone fight the speeding ticket for over two years. The Petaluma Police Department has spent $15,000 in the prosecution of this case. The case is now in the hands of the Commissioner."

I agree, it's too bad that loyalty has gone away in a lot of companies. The employer has to show appreciation to the employee first and treat them like gold. If an employer does this, the good employees will come to the surface and should be rewarded well for going the extra mile.
