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 lived in Salt Lake City for 12 years and never got pulled over once. Of course I moved right before my 13th birthday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Yes, the state is predominantly Morman. Yes, lots of them think that it is their responsibility to convert non-believers. In fact I can remember many times growing up when my class-mates were not allowed to associate with me because of my faith. I wasn't allowed to play on a recreational basketball league because they played the games at various church wards. My father told me that there was also pressure at work for him to join the church as he was told it would boost his career. Lots of thing prolly have changed since then. Yes, they have some weird alcohol laws. Yes, it is a beautiful place. But, I challenge anyone to find a place where family values and charity are stronger. (I'm non-morman and have much different religious beliefs, but I respect some of their actions and teachings). They are not perfect but the rest of the country could use some of their morals. |
