I got a ticket from Joplin, Mo. one time for running a stop light. Trouble was - I had never ever been in Joplin for 40 years. Even then, I went on a bus to a high school tournament.

I wrote them back, and never heard anything else about it.

Under the plan, Mr. Schneiderman, a Democrat, seeks to exempt New York's double jeopardy law from cases involving presidential pardons ... The current law and the concept of double jeopardy in general mean that a person cannot be tried for the same crime twice.

Not to mention the 5th amendment to the US constitution. That said, double jeopardy is not the protection most people think it is. It is no more meaningful than the so-called Right to Keep and Bear Arms which is not actually a a right to keep and bear arms.
