<VV> What Would [insert authority figure here] Do ?

[Charles Lee]

The point is, how would you respond if you were driving respectfully and
legally, but you got the ticket anyway?

Would you politely and respectfully say, "Thank you very much for allowing
me to contribute to [insert state name here]'s fiscal recovery" ?

Oops !  That would be respectful, huh ?

Gosh, what country are you in? Or I guess I have just had VERY GOOD
interaction with the police in all 35 years I have been driving. They have
always been as respectful to me as I have been to them (VERY). But I always
make sure my vehicles are legal and my driving is respectful.

>I actually won in court with a jury once on a speeding ticket.  I presented
the different ways that radar guns can be wrong, that cops can make mistakes
and it was the end of his night shift, apologized and I prayed a lot.  You
should have seen the look on the prosecuting attorney's face.  He had
clearly never lost a speeding ticket before.  A jury actually did their job
and protected an innocent citizen from the law enforcement growth industry.

>The strange thing is I rarely got tickets when I was actually doing
something that they could have ticketed me for.  I was running about 100 in
a 30 running red lights one time in a race with an undercover cop.  I got
surrounded later on the other side of town and they just gave me a hard
time.  No tickets.  Of course they never saw the cop that was racing me.  I
wasn't complaining since I didn't get a ticket.
