Is there some stunningly obvious factor that I'm missing, or are people just
whining?

A story like this was on Paul Harvey about 3 months ago ... A mans car sped through a 'photo radar' trap, and he was sent a ticket with the picture of his car ... He then sent in a picture of cash along with the ticket ... The police saw no humor in (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
