Worst Day in a While

I set the cruise control at 63 and I mostly get run over on 495. In the SLOW LANE!!!
5 mph over !! Isn't that within the tolerance of a speedometer?
Fight it in court

This is how government lives within its means--on the backs of its basically law abiding citizens. Traffic and parking tickets are a major source of revenue.

Why not try seizing the assets of every drug defendant caught in possession of more than 50 grams of dope? They usually just grab whatever cash the guy has laying around--they never go after the house, the car, the boat--all of the toys the drug money has bought. And these guys are way too smart to keep their cash with their stash--they usually just have operational money on hand, what they need/take for the day's business. Too much trouble to go after hard assets. Easier to conduct a ticket blitz and reap the money off honest citizens.

No one has 50 grams or more for personal use

No time with having to keep an eye on my dad.With the price of gas and having to go all the way out to Wakefield and still having the possibility of paying court costs it just isn't worth my time to fight it.

Paid online.Done with it.

The last ticket I had gotten was a parking ticket that I just wanted to get done with. After the state sent me 2 notices for the same violation, I decided (since at the time I had them on hand)nto mail the payment and used all the $.01 stamps I had. The ONLY place that wasn't covered by stamps was the delivery address.
I also sent a "poison pen letter" where I let loose a barage of cleverly worded insults (NO threats) and I felt better.
I mean, they can't do anything if you are paying the fine. So what if you are calling them exactly what they are.....CROOKS?

Good luck in the future.
