shitto cop from villa redneck pulled her over and had to go to their shitty little town a month later to pay a $650 fine for speeding in a construction zone and going too fast for conditions or some shitto reason. the clerk was sympathetic and asked if she wanted to pay on a monthly payment plan. LOL! she was pissed so just slapped a wad of cash and they were amazed people have money outside their shitty redneck town.  |
old post but fwiw
i got a speeding ticket for ~80mph in a 55 years back (can't remember my exact speed). it was 1am and happened to be in a construction zone with the big orange barrels on the side of the road, etc. cop gave me a ticket for $280 (double the normal $140 fine since construction zone). i just paid it since i was away from home and didnt want to drive to the court far away. couple of months pass and i get a check in the mail from the state for $140 with a note from a judge stating that since no one was working at 1am, it can't be considered a construction zone.
