@mjd One idea for half-hexagons: they are half-height, and we use the tabs/slots system. If you're going to laser-cut it, you have to do it in 4 layers (for the polyhexes): solid top and bottom, two slotted middles. The monohexes have tabs which are locked into the polyhexes' slots, so that they can slide vertically, but can't escape (once you've glued it up).

@MLE_online I guess things are different in New York. Apparently over 50% of traffic tickets were being tossed in Manhattan at one point, although admittedly that was probably a brief blip.

Anyway, I didn't say it would necessarily work -- just that it might be something someone would try.

@MLE_online Judges would rather do the easy thing and toss the ticket before even setting a court date. The laziness sometimes wins over the credulity. Even judges that don't believe that cops lie believe that cops make mistakes.

I've heard of a case of drinking in public being tossed before trial because the court attorney didn't believe the brand name of the vodka listed on the ticket was real.

@MLE_online I wonder if it's some sort of hack to confuse the cops? Like, the cops write a ticket, and in the plate field, they write GM Bolt 3, and then the judge's clerk looks at the ticket things, "that's not a plate, that's a model number", and throws the ticket out?
