That reminds me of when I went to court in Lethbridge to fight a traffic ticket. There must have about 15 to 20 native people in there fighting j-walking tickets. The judge threw out all the charges (the tickets were handed out by the same officer).

After the first couple, the judge listened and then let them off with a warning. Then he just stopped and asked for anyone there for a j-walking ticket to raise their hand. Then he got mad and told the officer to stop wasting people's time with that nonsense. It was pretty funny.
