Why I am not surprised the guy who tried to lie to a traffic judge is a Russian. Is it a stereotype or Russians do tend to think they are smarter than the system?
The article in NYTimes says the guy ran a stop sign, brought a picture of an intersection a block away without a stop sign, was found responsible, appealed to a judge, brought the correct picture to the appeal, got 1 year jail term for perjury from the judge.

SFGate reports that Bamberg, a former car salesman, was also suspected of switching street signs when the traffic commissioner said she would go investigate herself. "Bamberg acknowledged his fingerprints would be found on the street signs, but said he had to adjust them while taking his photos"
