for great justice!

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

This is the part where I complain about our “justice” system.

Today I must go pay a speeding ticket.  Note: I didn’t speed.  Wasn’t even my vehicle.  However in the eyes of the law I am responsible.  How does this work?  It’s pretty easy really.  What happened was, in July ’06, I sold my old pickup.  It was on its last legs and no where near passing safety inspection.  Got $500, more than fair, I thought.  However!  I made a very bad mistake.  I forgot the plates on it.

(more…)

it’s not as easy as it looks …
