Going through two toll booths in Ohio County Kentucky two/half years ago=two counts of wonten and endangerment.Not even reduced after all these years. Person receiving the sentence is in jail for two years now.Federal law states that going through a toll booth is a fine not wonten and endangerment

This law was repealed all the way back in 1975. When was this article posted?

I wonder if half of these web sites understand what the law actually says. As Fact checker states this was repealed in 1975 which means it is NOT A LAW!!!
