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 this, so they sent back the ticket along with
a picture of a jail cell ...

Needless to say, he sent in the monies owed.

getting a ticket, and everyone else was encouraging her to fight it.

Now, I'm wondering what the deal is?

You exceeded the legal speed limit.(cause)  You were caught.(cause)  You got
fined.(effect)

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

(...) The police *must* have had some sense of humor, or why go to the trouble of sending another picture back to the guy? No humor would mean issuing a bench warrant and hauling him in. -- Terry K -- (25 years ago, 18-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
