Los Angeles lawyer Gloria Allred held a news conference this past Monday and has filed a discrimination lawsuit on behalf of a transgender man because he was allegedly denied a haircut at a Long Beach, California barbershop. The barbershop describes itself as a "men's sanctuary." Guest: Gloria Allred - The Women's Liberation Front (WoLF) in the U.S. is taking the Department of Justice and the Department of Education to court challenging a law which permits students to use washrooms and locker rooms they declare fit the gender with which they identify. WoLF argues in its case it is unsafe to women to allow males to enter female locker and washrooms and that sexual assaults have already taken place. Guest: Kara Dansky, board member and media spokesperson for WoLF Litigation - A Winnipeg man fought a speeding ticket (49kmh in a school zone) by comparing a Google Street View pic with the photo radar pic he received with his fine and convinced a judge the photo radar pic was wrong and that he was out of the school zone when he reached the 49kmh speed. Cops recreated the scene and argue the ticket was justified (driver was inside a 2 meter buffer zone).
