The officially unofficial Sixpack....couch?

[gtowndawg]

kind of as a ring to it.

CLEVELAND - Cleveland Browns fan Mike Meredith is a couch potato with a cause.

Meredith has a motorized sofa - the "Go-Kouch" - that he usually rides around a municipal parking lot for tailgate parties before games.

But on Nov. 23, he decided to take the couch, a converted riding mower, the extra two blocks to the Browns' stadium for a game with Houston. Meredith said several police officers waved him through. One didn't, issuing him citations for driving an unregistered vehicle and having expired plates.

Meredith pleaded not guilty and will argue his case in court Tuesday. He has prepared a defense, walking the couch route and snapping pictures of every officer who gave him the go-ahead.

He could receive fines or community service in lieu of payment if he loses.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I mean if several police officers waved him on then any reasonable person would assume that it was ok. If it was illegal why did the first officer not stop him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">

That just goes to show that cops are dumb asses as well. Kudos to the one who stop his dumb ***.</span></p>

doesn't mean another officer can't.

did he actually have license plates on the thing? it says he was ticketed for expired plates - i'm sure he just threw some old ones on to get the whole picture. that can't be good for him. i'd think that his best argument will be that he wasn't driving down the highway - it was a heavily controlled area and different rules should apply on gameday in that area. if not, then every golf cart driving on the roads on gameday in starkville should be ticketed also.
