Creating a Code Violation: (minimum 1.5 pages)

Create a mock example of a violation of any of the articles/sections.

Examples of violations from Article IV are outlined in the cases printed on pages 18 through 28 of your textbook. You are not permitted to copy or even develop any similar cases as written in the textbook. This will result in a zero on this portion of your paper.

This is where you can be as creative as you wish. It does not have to be a realistic example, but it must show a violation of the article and section(s) in which you are detailing. Have fun with this!
