I hate the government.

Only $225 for speeding AND expired plates? That shit'd be like $400 here.

Agreed.

5 over is okay, 10 over is pushing it. 10 over is what generous cops will allow you. 5 over any cops will allow unless you're on an army base or they're having a bad day. 12 is just asking for a ticket.

I understand that speeding is not a very smart risk to take, but does that minor infraction equal $225? Fuck no it doesn't. That's my whole point of this thread. Money rules everything and corrupts everyone. Fuck that.

Is it 225 before or after court costs? If that's before then that blows balls. If not, court costs are always expensive.

$225 period. I'm not going to court to fight this. It is made very clear on the ticket that taking this to court will often result in more fines. Which is fucking retarded if you ask me.

Your speeding ticket was probably ~$120 and the expired plates $105. I don't think they randomly add court fees, at least not in the midwest.

My speeding ticket was $150 and the expired plates were $75. And no there are no court fees.

They're just trying to scare you. Often taking it to court will result in the lazy officer not showing and the case dropped.

Well what if he does show up? Am I supposed to plead not guilty? Then it's just his word vs. mine.

Like slim said, it's the end of the month. The last 10 days I'm always more careful and on the lookout. And especially the last 5 days of the month, then they really start crackin down.

Ever consider emigrating as a solution to your problem? because the bottom line is that you can attempt to change the current state of affairs or leave.

Yes, I have. I hope to be out of this country by 30 at the latest.

Where you gonna move? Amsterdam?

Notice that jamer123 voted for the third option. I highly doubt it's a joke.

I have offers to get sponsorship for citizenship in Canada.
