Cops and Tags

Posted on 06.26.04. Tagged with , , , All

About 6 hours away from my home, driving through Atlanta, I got pulled over by a cop. Earlier that day I thought to myself, "Boy, if I was going to be pulled over, I'd like to be pulled over with a few cars, not just me." Well I got my wish. The other guy was heading to Florida too, heh. Interestingly, my license plate has been expired since April 2003 (and it was still Illinois, because I've been too lazy to change it over to FL...well too cheap actually). This is the first cop that ever pulled me over and only asked for my license, and no registration. I'm not complaining, because I probably deserved a ticket for that expired tag too :)

I was clocked at 81mph in a 55mph zone. I certainly didn't know it was 55, but oh well. My parents thought I was pushing my luck, so I finally went to get a FL plate today. $210 for plate and title transfer (from IL to FL) + the $120 for my speeding ticket (which seems awfully cheap for 26mph over) = the iPod I wont be getting. Yay.

Maybe we can get a fund goin' to support your purchase of the precious iPod you've had your heart on for so long.

I have no pity for you, but I do feel your pain. I got a $215 ticket for doing 21 km over the speed limit, so you got off easy.

Man, that sucks. It's better though, than getting hit head-on by a woman driving down the center of the road with her head down, on her phone, while driving your boss's brand new Avalanche.. like i did last week. ugh.

Houston (which is the earth's anus) charges:
$ 210 for proceeding through a stop sign in bumper to bumper traffic. (!!!)
and $ 200 for missing the court date.
Texans hate Taxes so they screw everyone with exorbitant penalties & fees.
