Yellow-Light Crusader Fined for Doing Math Without a License

While I can understand requiring licensing for practicing as a professional engineer (PE) commenting on traffic light timing as a citizen is your right regardless of what you call yourself. If he called himself a PE then yes he would be wrong; using the generic term engineer is not the same. Otherwise the entire programming industry should be fined. I don't call myself a software engineer but my employer calls me that and most have over more than 3 decades of programming. PE != e

He called himself a "EE' -> 'excellent engineer'.

That being said I could see how having these boards who define the standards could make a berror preventing people from some backgrounds from being able to get a job.

Do I understand correctly that the body which depends on fees and fines for sustenance is taking care of levying fees and fines?
