I have court in 2 hours
« on: September 25, 2006, 11:26:26 AM »
Have ot go to court in 2 hours for a speeding ticket. 58 in a 40.

Excuse: Was one of those days I just wanted to get the flock home after a long day at work.

Even with my recruiters help this is going to hurt my wallet. Lesson learned.

Tell the judge that you don't recognize his authority because the gilded flag in the courtroom is the flag of an admiralty court, so he has no jurisdiction over you.

Then begin citing common law and the Magna Carta as they pertain to the illegality of "speed limits".

How old are you?  Why do you have to appear in court?  Can't you just pay it?

My first speeding ticket I had a court date.  Went in with my father and saw the nice lady at the window.  Forked over $75 and went about my business.  Never saw the judge and was driving at the end of the day.

Now if the cop had clocked me only a mile earlier on that same road...I might not be driving even today :D

in this country, we dont seem to have police officers anymore.  we have bright yellow robots placed everywhere which take photographs of your car if you go past it over the speed limit and then send you a nice letter in the post issuing you with a fine and points to your license (more points = more expensive insurance and possible driving ban).  

the robots have even developed on some roads into checking your speed over a long distance, taking an average speed and issuing a fine if you are over the limit.

photos of these robots are rare, but i managed to find a couple...

you'll do fine blue, a small fine will be all ya gotta worry about i rekon.


furball, all ya gotta do is use the M5, no cameras for 200 miles :D


Ive heard of people passing the first check point, speeding to the next, and stopping for enough time to bring the average speed down......seems kinda pointless.

You talking about CCTV? Apparently we have the most CCTV cameras of any country, but that is down to our friends the IRA who thought it was  amusing to plant bombs in litter bins and car bombs in our city centres.

We are getting more and more traffic enforcement cameras, no excuse for the vast majority of them apart from making money.  The only areas they should have them are around things like public parks and schools.

Man....overpower a guard, shoot it out and escape in a Police car...listen to the chat on the radio and head towards the nearest Airport.  Ditch the car and by that time they should have the TV News Helicopter warmed up... Hijack it with the pilot and film crew.... make some outrageous demands, such as Free the Chicago 7 or Charlie Manson was Right Dudes it IS the SONG!!!!

 Then head to Arubaa... they'll never find you!

:aok

I'm no fan of vandalism but that is awesome Furball, however, I hope no one complains if your taxes start jumping even more.  Burning those cameras is like burning a couple hundred or thousand pounds.
