Now I am really, REALLY mad.
Y'know, it's one thing when the semi-sentient question my politics or philistines scoff at the supreme achievement in potato fluffiness. But today, I was handed the straw that turned the camel quadraplegic...
I got a fucking traffic ticket. For allegedly running a stop sign. I am so livid I could spit. I had to sit there and meekly listen to the cop. This was in a speed trap and I was making aright turn off a 4-way stop immediately after the guy opposite me made a left, so I was following closely. The cop was busy monitoring the speed trap and COULD NOT HAVE SEEN clearly. So he made me pull over and handed me a ticket. The fine? $200, plus three points plus whatever my insurance is hiked.
So I am going to fight this. If it costs me $1K, I am going to fight this.
I am angrier than if Ralph Nader was made dictator of the world.

I'd say it probably wouldn't have happened if you were driving the minivan, but I've received two speeding tickets while driving mine, so.
Moral of teh story? Keep that rader detector ON fulltime even if you are not speeding.

Know what? They pulled her over to ask her about the meaning of her vanity license plate. How's that for blatant abuse of power?
Generally I am pro-cop, but MAN do I smell some bacon when I think of that.
And that siren-lights bit sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
it's just like all the word verification thingeys...
