Cox says he was merely exercising his right to petition the government, but a state Department of Transportation official has raised allegations that Cox committed a misdemeanor: practicing engineering without a license."

Here's a quote from Kentucky (courtesy of Google Books: http://books.google.com/books?id=EEZzl9XwsaYC&pg=PA399&lpg=PA399&dq=%22unlicensed+engineer%22+crime&source=bl&ots=pcP5Cw2oiR&sig=L2t8mEQTD7pg57sfP0A1ix1rm68&hl=en&ei=RXNMTbvxNcOB8gbZx_W3Dg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22unlicensed%20engineer%22%20crime&f=false) "A license is required to practice engineering in Kentucky...The practice of engineering includes any professional service or creative work that requires engineering education, training, and experience as an engineer...Among other things, it includes consultations, investigation, evaluation, planning, certification, and design of engineering works and systems; reviewing construction for the purpose of assuring compliance with drawings and specifications; teaching engineering design courses; negotiating and soliciting engineering services; and certain kinds of land surveying." I don't know about you, but a LOT of that description sounded pretty familiar to me. What do you think? --Matt -- LITTLE GIRL: But which cookie will you eat FIRST?
