But really, a traffic violation. Pay that shit man. I'd be ashamed to go before a judge and say, yes the officer witnessed me breaking the law BUT....It's just to petty to waste the courts time with.
Now I'm not typically a fan of LE, but lets say the officer was in the same location and witnessed a serious crime. Say, you getting robed or you car getting vandelized. And what kwicky mart retailer talks shit to the cops. They WILL need them @ some point, more than once, & trust me, If they don't think you want them around, there responce time will reflect it. Everyone gives them free coffee for a reason.
In my opion LE keeps the morons in check which allows the rest of us to live in peace. Occationally some of us will slip, do something stupid, & have to interact with them. I know a few cops & you have to remember that they deal with trash all day & it's hard to turn that switch off at will. If you want a good example of the general public, look around the next time your @ the DMV.

Oh, I agree, but I look at it as one half business and one half game.
There's rules to business and rules to a game. If I get caught breaking the rules I suffer and I was the one that took the risk. But if the guy that
caught me was breaking the rules too, then he's bound by the rules just like me, and if the
rules say that condition lets me slide...well, the rules are the rules. Good for the goose, good for the gander. if the rules say I don't slide, well, I was caught fair and square. I don't mind fair and square. I mind stacked decks.
This is the reason I feel radar detectors should
never be illegal- the rules say a guy I might not know about can clock me. Well, the deck is stacked if I cannot also detect him. Fair's fair. And when i lose the game I conduct business and pay the Man.
