That being said...the dude is still a douchebag. Pay your ticket and shut the fuck up. -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:29 18

  - Damn right. Or, ya know...just suck it up because you know he was speeding. - Jim Sep 15, 12:36 15
    - I would guess he wasn't going that much over the speed limit, and that's what was up with adding "tyranny" too. -- nm - b. Sep 15, 12:40 5
      - It's not all that relevant, but the ticket has him at 82 in a 65. -- nm - ML Sep 15, 12:41 4
        
        so, barely speeding. Tyranny is alive in NY! -- nm - decline Sep 15, 12:46
        
        thanks, I was just going to check that. it's relevant because of what Jim said re: his speeding. -- nm - b. Sep 15, 12:42 2
        
        Yeah...17 mph over the limit...what can you possibly have to be pissed at the cops/town for? -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:43 1
        
        yah, google said it's known to be a speed trap; but his speed is beyond that annoyance - maybe he wants no limits. (doesn't change my thoughts on the - b. Sep 15, 12:47
    - He paid the ticket. He didn't interfere with anybody or affect anybody's existence in any way. He exercised his constitutional right to express - pmb Sep 15, 12:39 8
      - See your definition of harrassed and mine seem to differ here. Making him come to court to settle up his ticket doesn't equal harassment to me. nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:41 7
        
        If it's not harassment, it's close. The only reason the defendant had to come to court was to be told how much he sucks. -- nm - Roger More Sep 15, 13:05 1
        
        it is just another in a long line of examples of someone abusing their authority. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:07
        
        Let's take a slightly different hypothetical. You drive through a red light where there's a camera and the camera shows a picture that you have a - pmb Sep 15, 12:51 1
        
        Dude, I completely understand what you're saying...I just don't agree. No big whoop. -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 13:02
        
        Since he paid the ticket, it's harassment. You have the option to plead guilty and pay your ticket. He did that. Making him come to court so he can - pmb Sep 15, 12:46 2
        
        You don't always have the option of pleading guilty and paying the ticket. -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:48 1
        
        Unless there is something beyond a moving violation where there is a chance for jail time or the amount of the fine is not fixed, you generally do. - pmb Sep 15, 12:52
- Constitutionally protected douchebaggery is still douchebaggery for sure. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 12:31
