Woman Forced to Wear ‘Idiot’ Sign as Punishment for Driving on Sidewalk

And as Cleveland resident Shena Hardin discovered this week, today’s justice system is not above embarrassing wrongdoers.
 The Associated Press reported Hardin appeared on Monday at Cleveland Municipal Court, where a judge decided that she must wear a sign bearing the message, “Only an idiot drives on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus” while standing at the intersection of East 38th Street and Payne Avenue. The punishment will occur between 7:45 and 8:45 a.m. on Nov. 13 and 14. In addition, Hardin’s license was suspended for 30 days, and she had to pay $250 in court fees.
