A Kentucky state senator wants out of a DUI arrest claiming that politicians get 'privilege' in Kentucky.

There is an actual law but the wording or core seems to revolve around "in session".

This is just one example of some of the fine print sneak it in law that politicians have been legislating behind your backs for decades.
 

It's easier to stay out of trouble, than to get out of trouble!:)

Not surprising.
 

Double standards, part of the problem in America. Not surprised either of the funny business that goes on in government behind the scenes.
 
Our government has a new trick. Twice a year they have an "red tape repeal" day

2014 Autumn Repeal Day

The Australian Government has a plan to cut $1 billion in red tape every year. As part of that plan, there will be two parliamentary repeal days every year to cut unnecessary and costly legislation and regulation. The first repeal day was in the House of Representatives on Wednesday 26 March.

On Wednesday 19 March, following a statement by the Prime Minister, the Government introduced legislation and tabled documents to repeal more than 10,000 pieces and more than 50,000 pages of legislation and regulation and save over $700 million of compliance costs from across the economy.

A good idea you may think, but the devil is always in the detail. A lot of the changes were trivial and merely cosmetic, like changing the word "email" to "electronic mail" in every piece of legislation. More sinister were a few changes to legislation that they hoped would slip by unnoticed by members of parliament. Full marks to the ones who did notice and screamed blue bloody murder about the subterfuge.

You have to watch the wicker baskets** very carefully.

**Rhyming slang.
 
Like Cinnamon said, we shouldn't be surprised at all and like Dame Warrigal noted, the words generally sound great.......until you look behind the curtain (or in this case, see their efforts in action). Brings to mind that very old and very apt joke, 'how do you know when a politician is lying......(cue the canned laughter;)) 'His lips are moving'!
