tombo - i'm sorry you got a ticket. i'm also sorry that i couldn't have warned you about how much judgement would be passed on you by posters to this forum.

then there's the other side, the "fuk the cops" crowd. unfortunately, things are seldom that simple, so cut and dry.

i've had good run-ins with cops. they aren't all evil. that said, if i got a ticket for something stupid like running a light, i'd reserve the right to be upset about it. leave the man alone.
