Sometimes the law is bad.

I got a ticket once for running out of passing zone while passing. When 
I went to court, the judge said "where did this happen?"  I told him. He 
  said "Yeah, I know that road. The passing zone is too short. Case 
dismissed."

Not that it happens often, mind.

It isn't, in the USA at least. That's what juries are for. :-)
