Glasgow court officials appeared red faced last week when a prosecution for
speeding was thrown out. The court heard that a driver had been stopped for
speeding in Essex some months beforehand. After giving a false name of 'Jay
Mack', he was allowed to go on his way pending payment of his fine.
The fine wasn't paid and officials tracked down the only Jay Mack in the
country - a 16 month old baby from Scotland.
Despite numerous protests from his mother, officials had ignored her pleas
that her son wasn't the guilty driver and proceeded with the prosecution. Only
when the baby appeared in court was the case dismissed.
