Nihil Obstat Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You're complaining over $178? My last speeding ticket that I got in VA cost over $300, and it didn't even affect my insurance. Your ticket would probably not have been so expensive, if you had not insisted on exposing your naked posterior out your window in the direction of the cop car as you sped by.

r2Dtoo Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Your ticket would probably not have been so expensive, if you had not insisted on exposing your naked posterior out your window in the direction of the cop car as you sped by. I suppose it would have been better had I used my superb talents as a driver to pull this off for something else. Ah, the silliness of youth. A word to wise: don't speed at all along I-95 through Emporia. There are tons of places for cops to hide, and they'll charge you an arm an leg just for going 10 over. Oh and one more thing, Norfolk, VA claims to have cameras on their street lights that are supposed to take a pic of your license plate if you run a red light and send you a ticket in the mail. They don't work. I've run a red light in Norfolk and got nothing in the mail. They're just cute little flashy things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4588686 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I-85 can take you out of North Carolina. If that helps. It's not my opinion that NC uses tickets as a revenue scheme. That's been pretty well documented in a number of studies. That fact is not enough to make me leave NC. I think that their racket is tolerable. That doesn't mean I need to wax poetic about how 'once I was lost but now I'm found.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really care about a $200 plus speeding ticket with some of the stuff I've paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would it take for you to leave NC? You know NC shot down the gay marriage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh... I don't think he made the judge out to be a bad guy at all. If anything he made him out to be a guy with a decent sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4588686 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yeah. I think the system is a racket but I really don't have anything against the judge. He was really long winded but he seemed like a nice guy. He even laughed at himself when he was like 15 minutes into a story and realized that he himself had lost track of where he was going with it. One of the greatest spiritual influences in my life was a judge who was active in the Church. From his stories you understood that most of the public cries of repentance are bullpoo.

Era Might Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I was driving through NC and its environs recently, was a little perplexed to see signs about how speed limits were enforced by aircraft. Do they send planes up in the sky to catch you speeding? Drones? Is anybody out there? Hello? SOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they send planes up in the sky to catch you speeding? Drones? Is anybody out there? Hello? SOS. I know in Virginia they did that back in the 90's - it was usually a plane in the sky and a few cars down on the ground to pull people over. I'm pretty sure when the economy tanked, so did the funding for the planes, but they never took down the signs. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Hassan, it sounds as if you were a bit rude. It's not a fun job to make decisions about speeding tickets all day. Then the judge can find a more respectable line of work. Maybe piano player in a whorehouse. Story about a robed thug overseeing the kidnapping of a woman. http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/Woman-Gives-Judge-Middle-Finger-Gets-30-Day-Sentence-for-Contempt-189691991.html Edited February 14, 2013 by Winchester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
