Violation Codes

if you were caught littering:
1)the courts will not go easy
2)the fines are steep
3)judges have to enforce the laws because of environmentalists
4)misdemeanor stay on your record for 10 years.
luckily it was not a moving vilation (like the one i got) and since a cigarette is relitivily small it did not impose a danger. maybe since it did not impose a danger the referee will bring it down to an infraction. however i would happen to know (never personally paid one) that the fines are expensive.

<b>ALSO</b>
this ticket is somewhat fightable. the accusing officer has to be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the piece of material came from your car (if other cars were around), it was indeed a cigar or cigarette, and THAT IT WAS LIT. if he cannot prove it was a cigar or cigarette then it probably was not lit. If he can prove that how does he know it was lit. If it was night and he saw sparks when it hit the ground then your screwed.

Today I went to court for a littering ticket. well the retail price is $1000.00 but the judge gave me a deal that i couldn't pass up. I had to pay only $321.00 and it is not going on my driving record. I was so glad, the court went easy on me. :lala: :lala: :lala: :lala:

Yeah, just goes to show how messed up our court system is, I got a ticket for doing criminal speeding (93mph in a 55 zone), wreckless endangerment, and unsafe speed due to weather, (had rained earlier in the day) and my ticket including traffic school elegablilty was $183, you tossed a cig out the window and payed double that...

FYI when someone steals your registration and tags out of your mailbox and you get pulled over oblivious to the fact that your tags are expired and so is your registration, that costs about $74.20 if you fix it within a month.

I'd love to be able to stop, pick it up, then catch up to them in traffic and say "You dropped something" and toss it right back in their window.
If ya gotta smoke, put it out in the ash tray, then dump it in the trash when you get home.
I'll get off the soap box now.

You know, I hope you don't throw anymore cigarettes, or anything else out the window after this.
One day, you will own your own home (if you don't already) and you will curse the SOB's that throw sh#t out their windows for you to clean up that make your neighborhood look like ****e.
AFAIC, you got what was coming to you.
And no, I am not an environmentalist but that doesn't mean I sh$t in wherever I feel like it.
