I smell bacon...

Normally, I won't dog on police. I understand why they are here and I respect what they do. However, I do not understand Bothell cops and I surely don't agree with municipal courts.

The other day I got pulled over for speeding. The cop told me I was going 37 in a 30 and quote "would have been fine in 100 yards because that is when the 35 mph zone starts".

The cop hands me the ticket and walks away before I could take a look at it. This is where the shadiness begins. The pig wrote "47 in a 30" on the ticket. Shitty bitch. Jokes on him though, he never had me sign it nor did he put the "sticker" on it which validates the infraction.

Pretty much out of it? You'd think, but it doesn't look good after I talked to my lawyer. He said municipal courts don't care about the violation or who's right and who's wrong. They only care about the revenue.

WTF!!! So, the court doesn't care about right vs. wrong, only wants money. So they screw everyone, f*ck up their 7-year clean driving record, to make what will probably be $10 after the ticket is "dropped down".

What is up with the corruption of our police and courts?! Seriously. The legislatures tax the hell out of us, then the judiciaries pull this shit.

At least when I got a ticket in Texas, they will fully admit all they want was money, and they give you the chance to pay the fine and drop the ticket as long as you don't commit the same violation in 3 months. Not in Washington! From Senator Cantwell down to Officer Shitty Bitch, you can all kiss my ass.

Plead the first offender, thats what I did. The fine gets reduced, and if you don't get another ticket within 12 months, it goes away completely from your record.

If you don't feel like doing that, most courts will oblige if you ask them to "dead-dock" the ticket. Effectively, it means that your insurance company will not have access to that particular record, so they can't make the determination when pulling your driving record for insurance premium hikes.

Take it from a 4 time driving-while-license-suspended "habitual violator".
