Have you ever got a bullshit traffic ticket?
The way I see it most are just that,bullshit.
In the states people are so used to getting fined its completely natural and accepted, embedded in the culture.
When I am in the states and I hear someone say as I'm about to drive off " Watch out for the cops" I feel a little sick.
Is that what its come too? Be afraid of the police when driving?
Plus the cost of the fines. How much is the minimum like 100 dollars?
Then the insurance companies raise your premium for the next 3 years , and some states have a bullshit surcharge bill you get in the mail every year for three years.
You can wind up paying like a 1-2 thousand dollars just for one infraction.Thats in-sane
Unless you do something that obviously is putting others at risk I think most tickets are just an excuse for raping the citizens.
Ive gotten my share of tickets (usually when driving to and from work) over the 20 years of driving in the states.
Has Anybody here gotten bullshit tickets?
Some of Mine are:
Two or three for not coming to a complete stop at stop signs (even though nobody was anywhere near me, except for the cop hiding somewhere, waiting).
A few speeding ( but only going a little over the speed limit, usually in an area where the speed limit has just decreased).
Following too close in a traffic jam....Following too close in a traffic jam??????
Failure to use my turn signal while changing lanes.
And with that a DUI although I had not drank one drop ( listerine on my breath) , took me a year to finally have that one thrown out of court.
And of course a few going through a yellow light tickets by a cop hiding somewhere just to nail people on that. ( I think they sometimes control the light from their car just to nail people on that.
Once a ticket for driving on the suspened list, although my license has never been suspened. That was a fun night.
All that plus probably a few more, and I honestly consider myself a safe and cautious driver.
To serve and protect, yeah sometimes. Quite often its To hassle and screw.
