Weird World: wacky LA cop fines 82-year-old chick for walking slow

AN 82-year-old woman has been given a fine for walking too slowly. Mayvis Coyle was shuffling across a busy LA road with her cane, but could not make it to the other side before the light turned red. A motorcycle policeman approached her and issued her with a fine. According to news.com.au she said: "I think it's completely outrageous. He treated me like a six-year-old." A spokesman for Los Angeles police said the force were forced to crack down on people who improperly cross streets in an attempt to prevent accidents.

THAT'S Los Angeles for you -- the only place on earth where youth is at such a premium, they fine you for getting old.
