[Phaedrus]

I wrote a very strong (not obscene) letter to the court on a recent traffic ticket and wrote "Highway Robbery" on the check. If the judge doesn't like it and calls me in, I will repeat what was written (and probably be cited for contempt -- legitimate: I AM contemptuous).

The town of Waldo,Florida recieves the majority of it's city funding from one intersection where the speed limit drops from 55 to 40 to 30 MPH in the space of 200 feet. AAA warns drivers to avoid the area.

Unrelated to that, about ten years ago I showed up in court to contest a ticket. The State's Attorney who was "prosecuting" me was very helpful and understanding that it was a bureaucratic mistake, the judge wanted to make me pay extra court costs because I would not plead "no contest," so he could clear his docket and leave. The prosecutor suggested for me to have a continuance, and I wound up back in court 2 days after giving birth, as the judge would not set another date. The state verified that they had recieved a note from my insurance company, case closed
A few months later, the judge shot himself after he was found to have been recieving porn in his chambers. You never know what kind of nut job you may have to face in your quest for justice.
