It's amazing to me what some people consider to be a good idea. He had to "adjust" the signs as he was taking photos? Sheeeyeah.

A $215 ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign in Redwood City could mean up to four years in state prison for Andrew Bamberg.
life in prison?!?! I think 3 strikes has to be on 3 separate occasions does it not?

Well, that's what he SHOULD get.

The name comes from baseball, where a batter has two strikes before striking out on the third.

The stated rationale for these laws is that the automatic and lengthy imprisonment of individuals who commit three or more felonies is justified on the basis that recidivists are incorrigible and chronically criminal, and must be imprisoned as a matter of public safety.
