No, the cop that pulled me over was actually really cool about it and intentionally gave me a really lenient judge. When I went to court for it, I explained why I had been driving with an expired license (actually, I was fucking lucky because that was the day I was heading out to the DMV to get it renewed) and he asked if I had gotten the license renewed since being issued the ticket. I said yes, he tore up the charge. In regards to the insurance ticket, I did have a valid insurance card at the time, I just didn't have it with me when I got pulled over. I showed the card to him, he tore up the charge. The only one left was the expired plate and that was $60. I had gotten it renewed since getting the ticket, though, so I showed him the up-to-date registration and he cut the ticket down to $30. Sweet deal.
Yeah, in this town most parking and traffic offenses exceed $200. The lamest part is the regulations out at the airport. I actually took a look at those tickets, and next to the location section they have ticket amounts. Next to the "airport" column, it's completely blank. If you're parked in the loading area for a minute too long, and the cop that catches you is having a bad day, he can ticket you $2000 for it if he feels like it. It's total bullshit.
