Robert LeBlanc forwards a copy of some e-mail he sent to the MBTA bus superintendent about an incident around 4:20 p.m. on Saturday:

I had the pleasure of interacting with one of your bus drivers( bus # 0617, )either route 86 or 87 headed west on Somerville Ave between the Somerville Ave & union Square and Somerville Ave & Prospect stops. As I was crossing the street the bus approached and slowed at the last second with the driver looking upset that he had to slow down, the driver then stopped the bus in the middle of the street, opened the doors and proceeded to yell at me and taunt me trying to provoke me. I'm sure the passengers aboard appreciated the bus being stopped like that. Wow...you can't buy that kind of great publicity. Where do they find these people?

Why should the developers at Google Maps have all the fun? The state Executive Office of Transportation today announced it's opened up a variety of transportation-related data sets to people who'd like to take a crack at doing interesting stuff with the info. Currently available on the EOT Developers Page are a variety of geographic data sets (locations of subway and commuter-rail stops, for example) and data on rail, bus and ferry schedules across the eastern part of the state. Also available: An RSS feed of wait times at RMV offices.

The Supreme Judicial Court has once again upheld the constitutionality of State Police roadblocks aimed at catching drunk drivers - and arresting them for any contraband they might have with them.

The court decided two sobriety-checkpoint cases today. In one, the court ruled that even though roadblocks involve "warrantless seizures" of both vehicles and their drivers, they are legal as long as they are "not arbitrary," are conducted quickly and are done according to a specific set of rules. In the second, the court ruled that sobriety checkpoints are not random sweeps for contraband - which is unconstitutional - and that police officers do not have to overlook any possible illegal items or activity when they initially check for drunkenness.

In the second case, the court ruled:

Nothing in our cases suggests that an officer participating in an initial lawful encounter with a driver must, or even should, turn a blind eye to contraband or evidence in plain view that provides reasonable suspicion that a crime has been, or is being, committed.
