Microsoft boss Bill Gates was photographed by the Albuquerque, New Mexico police in 1977 after a traffic violation (details of which have been lost over time).

I must admit that in my youth I did some very stupid things in a car. Twice the speed limit dumb stuff. And I got caught several times, but I never got taken in and booked. So this begs the question is my experience unique? Or what did he have to do in a car to get busted and a mug shot taken?

Second issue, how does a criminal record get lost? Maybe a donation to the local chapter?
