I just saw this story and had to share it with all of you.
This poor woman, just can't believe that this actually happens in this day and age, what a shame.
I just thought it was important to share.
(CNN) -- Three police cars pulled into Christina FourHorn's front yard one afternoon while working from home just before she was supposed to pick up her daughter at school. The officers had a warrant for her arrest.
"What do you mean robbery?" FourHorn remembers asking the officers. Her only brushes with the law had been a few speeding tickets.
She was locked up in a Colorado jail. They took her clothes and other belongings and handed her an oversize black-and-white striped uniform. She protested for five days, telling jailers the arrest was a mistake. Finally, her husband borrowed enough money to bail her out.
"They wouldn't tell me the details," she said.
Later, it became clear that FourHorn was right, that Denver police had arrested the wrong woman. Police were searching for Christin Fourhorn, who lived in Oklahoma.
Their names were similar, and Christina FourHorn, a mother with no criminal record living in Sterling, Colorado, had been caught in the mix-up.
50 steps to stay alive (1 - 10)
1. Assume you're invisible. Too a lot of drivers, you are. Never make a move based on the assumption that another driver sees you, even if you've made eye contact. Bikes don't register to the four-wheel mind.
2. Be considerate. The consequences of strafing the jerk du jour or cutting him off, start out bad and get worse. Pretend it was your grandma and smile.
3. Dress for the crash, not the pool or the pub.
Sure, McDonalds is a 5-minute trip, but nobody plans to eat pavement. Modern mesh gear means 100-degree heat iand is no excuse for a T-shirt and board shorts.
4. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Assume that car across the intersection will turn across your bow when the
light goes green, with or without a turn signal.
5. Leave your ego at home.
The only people who really care if you were faster on the freeway will be the
officer and the judge.
6. Pay attention.
Yes, there is a half-naked girl on the billboard. That shock does feels
squishy. Meanwhile, you could be drifting toward Big Trouble. Focus.
7. Mirrors only show you part of the picture.
Never change direction without turning your head to make sure the coast
really is clear.
8. Be patient.
Always take another second or three before you pull out to pass, ride away
from a curb or into freeway traffic from an on-ramp. It's what you don't see
that gets you. That extra look could save your butt.
9. Watch your closing speed.
Passing cars at twice their speed or changing lanes to shoot past a row of
stopped cars is just asking for trouble.
10. Beware the verge and the merge.
A lot of nasty surprises end up on the sides of the road: empty McDonalds
bags, nails, TV antennas, ladders, you name it. Watch for troublesome debris on both sides of the road
