I shot my thang

Meet Otis Lockett, whose penis cops received permission to peruse photographically.

.

 .

Lockett, who was shot in the groin, told police that he was fired upon “by an unidentified person behind him,” according to a Circuit Court filing, which notes that the 27-year-old was treated at Froedtert Hospital “for a single gunshot wound to his penis.”

Since hospital workers reported that the bullet’s trajectory was a “downward 45-degree angle,” cops suspected that Lockett accidentally shot himself. This means that the convicted felon who is on probation was illegally in possession of a handgun.

So, Detective Gena Malanche filed for a search warrant seeking permission to have medical personnel to remove bandages in the area of Lockett’s groin to facilitate photography of the area.” The resulting photos, Malanche added, would help investigators establish that Lockett is a felon in possession of a firearm. 

The warrant was approved by Court Commissioner Barry Phillips, who authorized cops to “photograph the penis of Otis Lockett for analysis by the proper authorities.”

Lockett’s penis was, in fact, photographed, though court records do not identify the name of the shutterbug. A Milwaukee Police Department property inventory notes that a CD of “photos taken of Lockett’s injuries pursuant to warrant” had been logged. 

What you see is what you get

America's first transparent car – billed as a vision of the future more than 60 years ago – is expected to fetch up to UK£ 300 000 = 479 460 U.S. dollars at auction.

The 1939 Pontiac Deluxe Six was built using a special type of perspex by General Motors and chemical company Rohm and Haas at a cost of £15,000.

Dubbed the ‘Ghost Car’ it has clocked up just 140km (86 miles) in its lifetime and is thought to be a visionary in design principles.

‘This motor still turns heads as much as it ever did,’ said a spokesman for RM Auctions which is selling the vehicle in Michigan on July 30.

'The car is in a remarkable state of preservation. It's a testament to the longevity of Plexiglas in an era when automotive plastics tended to self-destruct within a few years.

'Although it has acquired a few chips and cracks, it is structurally sound and cosmetically clear, showing off the Ghost Car's innards as it did in 1939.

'It is not, obviously, suited for touring but as a unique artifact from automotive and cultural history.'

The car made its public debut at the New York World Fair in 1939-40 and is just one of two ever made. The model which comes with a three-speed manual gearbox is thought to be the last of its kind.

Lack of Porn Violates Mans US Constitutional Rights

A Michigan jail inmate says he's being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment because he can't have pornography.

In a handwritten lawsuit, 21-year-old Kyle Richards claims his civil rights are being violated at the Macomb County Jail. Richards says denying his request for erotic material subjects him to a "poor standard of living" and "sexual and sensory deprivation."

The Michigan Department of Corrections says that prisons allow some pornographic material, though it's banned at the jail. The American Civil Liberties Union says prisons have a lot more leeway.

Richards was charged with bank robbery after police followed a trail of snowy footprints and dropped money to his apartment from a bank robbery scene in January in Fraser, north of Detroit.

Bicyclists report getting attacked by an angry hawk

Bicyclists in eastern Oregon say they're getting whacked on the head by an angry bird.

Riders in Pendleton, Ore., said that a male hawk is dive-bombing them because they're too close to a nest he's guarding in an old cottonwood tree.

Bicyclist Mack Temple says the bird came in from behind like a fighter plane and whacked his helmet. Another rider, Charlie Newhouse, says the attack on his helmet was "like getting hit with a baseball bat." He says the talons went in through the helmet.

Bird-watchers say the large bird is a Swainson's hawk. The riders say he's been vigilant for a few nesting seasons, but hasn't been as aggressive as this year.

Bird-watchers say the hawk will ease up once his brood learns to fly.

'I'll drink to that law'

Ohio's Capitol building in Columbus will be a place for making laws and making drinks.

The Ohio Statehouse's first full-service bar will open next month within an existing cafe. The bar on the building's lower level will sell beer, wine and liquor.

The Ohio agency that oversees the Statehouse says the bar will have flat-screen televisions and will be open to the public at certain times. It also will host special events and what are described as "private happy hours."

One thing it won't allow are guns.

A new Ohio law permits some concealed weapons to be carried into bars and other places where alcohol is served. But the public is prohibited from taking firearms into the Statehouse.

Convicted murderers are such delicate humans

The family of a cold-blooded killer serving 25 years to life in state prison for shooting a man in the head complains he's being stigmatized -- by the use of the term "inmate."

The label "implies that our brother is locked up for the purpose of mating with other men," claims Marie Domond in a lawsuit against the state Correctional Services Department.

The Brooklyn federal court filing demands that officials immediately stop calling Gerard Domond "an inmate."

It apparently hurts his feelings. Sis seeks $50 million damages for "mental anguish."

Transport chiefs hope the electronic mapping display will reduce disputes between commuters who complain of dishonesty and the drivers who claim they work long hours for poverty wages.

From next week GPS devices will be installed in 250 motorized three-wheelers in the city but by the end of July they are expected to be mandatory for the rest of the city's 55,000 rickshaws.

The devices will be connected to a government server which will track journeys and allow officials and passengers to check whether they are taking the shortest routes.

The devices will also be fitted with a panic button to allow women to raise the alarm and call the police if they are attacked.
