Mexico City targets bad driver
Seeking to crack down on widespread chaos and corruption on the streets, Mexico City on Friday introduced tougher traffic laws and incentives for police to stop accepting bribes.

The new program stiffens penalties for driving in bus lanes and drunken driving while rewarding police who report would-be bribe givers with food vouchers.

Bribes are a part of daily life for many of Mexico City's more than 20 million residents, and most officers prefer to pocket a "mordida," or little bite, than go to the trouble of processing an official fine.

Police board clears cops in wr

Hamilton�s police board says two officers who pleaded guilty of misconduct in the wrongful arrest of a black man did not commit criminal obstruction of justice.

The Hamilton Police Services Board says an OPP investigation has concluded Constables Oliver Mann and Chris Beaulne did not criminally obstruct justice by making false statements to internal affairs investigators.

As a result, the board has decided there is no evidence of misconduct in terms of false or misleading evidence in their arrest five years ago of Michael Dixon.

He was arrested Aug. 15, 2003 for a break in at a jewellery store during the first night of the province�s Great Blackout.

Dixon had just stepped off a GO Transit Bus after commuting home from his job in Toronto when he was chased by Hamilton police Constables Oliver Mann and Chris Beaulne and arrested on Hunter near John Street South.

They charged Dixon with the break-in even though witnesses had described the suspect as white.
The board has refused to ask the province�s civilian police commission or an independent agency to review if two Hamilton officers lied about the arrest.

Two years ago next month, Mann and Beaulne pleaded guilty to misconduct under the police services act and were fined three days pay.
