<VV> Traffic Puzzle? - possible Corvair

[Ron]

Cops are never wrong and they carry a badge and gun to back up their 
infallibility.  The traffic judge is duty bound to collect maximum revenue 
for the city and the court system so you will be found guilty no matter how 
right you were.  Don't look for justice and you won't be disappointed.
