How can I find out if its OK to bring a particular kind of plant or animal into California?
This information is available at the California Department of Food and Agriculture website. Their URL is: http://www.cdfa.ca.gov. I have heard that some gangs are initiating new members by driving with their headlights off and when people flash their lights at them, they must shoot the drivers of the cars who do this. Is this true? The California Highway Patrol has received many inquiries from people who have seen this message on the Internet. The simple answer is, it is not true. Of course, as a law enforcement agency we would caution people not to do anything in their vehicles which could anger or upset other drivers. But to our knowledge, nothing of this sort has taken place. The San Fernando Valley Folklore Society and other organizations track urban myths, and attempt to explain their origins.
