Traveling Alberta

Just as Alberta gets going with the Distracted Driving Law, here's news from across the seas, from UK. The new UK Bribery Act gets its first victim, a magistrates court clerk.

Munir Yakub Patel becomes the first person to be charged under the Bribery Act 2010, which has come into force on July 1 this year. Munir Yakub Patel has allegedly accepted  £500 for fixing a motoring offence; he is to appear before the Southwark crown court on 14 October to answer the charge. He has been charged under section two of the Bribery Act 2010, for supposedly "requesting and receiving a bribe intending to improperly perform his functions". The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to prosecute Munir Yakub Patel for misconduct during his employment at Redbridge magistrates court, in Ilford, east London. He had allegedly done the act of crime on August 1 and is now in custody.

Seems, it's the season of new laws all across the world. So, what next? Are we going to hear of India and the Lok Pal Bill? Keep guessing...
