I tried a variation of this defense once in traffic court. "But Your
Honor," I said, "everyone else was going at the same speed as me! It's
not fair that I should be singled out!"

The judge's reply: "Have you ever gone duck hunting? If so then you know
that a duck hunter can decide to shoot at any duck he pleases. The other
ducks in the flock will escape but this does not make the targeted duck
any less guilty of being a duck."

I should have reported that good ol' boy to PETA. :)
