Sphere:  “The Foundation for Fair Civil Justice each year releases its annual Wacky Warnings Award.  My personal all-time favorite was the stroller that warns: ‘Remove child before folding.’  Another is an iron label that warns the user to not use it on clothes that are currently being worn.   I was reminded of this when I read the recent news that San Francisco’s mayor and a lawmaker in Maine want to require labels on cell phones warning users about the risk of brain cancer — despite the lack of any credible evidence that such a link exists.”

Boston Globe:  “Witnesses taking audio of officers arrested, charged with illegal surveillance.  Simon Glik, a lawyer, was walking down Tremont Street in Boston when he saw three police officers struggling to extract a plastic bag from a teenager’s mouth. Thinking their force seemed excessive for a drug arrest, Glik pulled out his cellphone and began recording.  Within minutes, Glik said, he was in handcuffs. . . . The charge?  Illegal electronic surveillance.”

48 Hours Mystery:  Patty Jo Marsh and her husband Jacob Edwards Bartels were arrested and charged with illegal tattooing, second degree child cruelty and reckless conduct.  The couple used a guitar string as a needle to tattoo a cross on the hands of five kids and a “mom and dad” on the arm of a sixth child.  Georgia prohibits tattooing children and tattooing without a license.
