Newly qualified drivers in N.Ireland had to display an orange "R" on their vehicles for one year and were limited to 45 mph. I very much doubt if any one adhered to this limit. The "R" meant restricted, but most called it "Retarded".

In Scotland, juries in criminal cases have 15 jurors. There are three possible verdicts : Guilty, not guilty and Not proven. There are moves afoot to abolish the Not proven verdict which effectively means, "We know you're guilty, but we can't prove it".

These sound like a lot of archaic US laws that somehow wound up on the books. Amusing to read, but rarely - if ever - enforced.
Can't imagine Turin police post guards outside people's homes for 24 hours to verify pet owners' walking schedules.

In the US, "not guilty" does not mean factually innocent. It means the government didn't prove its case. Theoretically, the government has to prove all elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt before a person can be found guilty. One of the issues that can be brought up on appeal is that one element of the crime was not proven due to insufficient evidence.

There are many posters here but I know very well that you're talking about me. Was it really necessary to make it public? You could have PM'd me instead and have saved me the embarrassment.

I don't know about stealing it but I do know that there isn't a human on earth who doesn't cut the cheese. That makes about 8 billion compared to the measly 4% that gets stolen.
