F*** I just got a ticket from a worm of a motorcycle cop. He charged me with an improper turn... What sucks is I didn't make an improper turn. Sure everyone says they didn't do it. I find out the ticket is for 92 bucks. Then I find out what kind of crap one has to go throught to fight this ticket. They say, go to a driving class for and hour and no points will be against your license. Great, but cough up 50 bucks for the class and you still have to plead guilty to the charge. F**** EXTORTION.
I've seen this cop working this same area all the time. Its not like I didn't know he was there. So you think I'm going to give this worm a reason to pull me over. I guess he doesn't need one, he can always dream one up. I feel ripped off. The system knows most people won't fight the charge because of the cost involved in fighting the charge. So they get away with extorting money from the public. Just venting, I'm still always amazed how a 5'8 160 pounder can put on a uniform and suddenly he's 6'10 and 300 lbs. EXTORTION btw: The cop wasn't even on his motorcyle, he was standing on the sidewalk. Must not like my 914. He came out on the street to pull me over. |

I've lived in Utah and I'm ready to move also. I think you got the ticket cause its close to the end of the month and its quota time Strat.
And in the 10 years I've lived here, I've not seen the Chauvanism so reputed from mormans towards women. I think its a myth. Also I've only seen 1 polygamist in person, and even then, I'm not sure, I just got a wierdo vibe from the guy and his wife, and her "sister" What does show though is the place feels like its a million miles from the rest of America. And its not a single factor. Certainly Utah has some fucked up liquor laws, but some do other states. Certainly its got a tyrany of religion, but you get that anywhere you have a large body of alike thinking people, Like certain areas in the south that have a large baptist populations. Perhaps the best way to put it, is Most utahans are not bothered by the Patriot act, because they were living under it for years before 9/11... Anyone need a Bouncer/Computer tech? |
