	There was a guy out here in California who was planning
an interesting approach to the "55 problem".  He was collecting
pledges from people for the following:

	1. If you got a ticket for speeding, you would challenge
	   it in the courts.

	2. At the time you got your ticket, you would send in
	   $5 to "the campaign".

	3. If you won your battle in court, you would receive $25.

	The idea was to overload the judicial system to the point
where the "powers that be" would be forced to take some sort of
action.  He had the financial numbers all worked out, and was
waiting for some large number of pledges before actually putting
the thing into motion.  He was located in Hawaii for a while, and
they stifled things by saying that he was illegally selling securities.

	I heard about this a couple of years ago.  I have no idea
if he ever tried to make it work.
