I was a police supporter, but don’t like them anymore. As far as I’m concerned they just write tickets to law abiding citizens to generate money, and do paperwork. The last ticket I got was for “running a red light”. This was at one of those red/green lights at freeway onramps that meter traffic onto the freeway. It was two lanes and both greens occur at the same time. I paused a moment to the car next to me go first, and was pulled over because the light had cycled back to red when I crossed the all important line.
So, courteous driving cost me $100, and I fought it in court. The a#%hole judge agreed the a#%hole cop was right. I crossed the line 1/4 second to late. Bulls&%t cops.
I think it costs them 200-300 to repair a traffic sign that gets damaged by an unknown vehicle or person.
I'm just sayin'...
