When Jonathan Frieman of San Rafael, Calif., was pulled over for driving alone in the carpool lane, he argued to the officer that, actually, he did have a passenger.
He waved his corporation papers at the officer, he told NBCBayArea.com, saying that corporations are people under California law.
Frieman doesn't actually support this notion. For more than 10 years, Frieman says he had been trying to get pulled over to get ticketed and to take his argument to court -- to challenge a judge to determine that corporations and people are not the same. Mission accomplished in October, when he was slapped with a fine -- a minimum of $481.
Interesting. Let us know how this one turns out.
Can do. I believe the cop won't show up or the case will be dismissed. Ain't no way they are going to let Santa Clara County v Southern Pacific Railroad be challenged/revisited, and its effects on all the ruling since 1886.. especially Citizens United v Federal Election Commission in 2010.
But wouldnt it be interesting times if it did... thats what I'm hoping as well.
