Fucking pigs who can't fill their fucking quotas. That is the only reason I got pulled over and TICKETED for a expired inspection sticker in west Texas on the last day of the month. I hope he doesn't get his damn quota. Son of bitch father fucking mother stabber.

GOTD...

Actual programs here in Utah where:

1. A 7-11 in Provo, Utah will give a Slurpee to a kid if they read a book and tell a 7-11 employee about it.

*facepalm*

(To be generous, the kid could get a balloon instead. But which do you think they're going to pick?)

2. Dads go to their kid's elementary schools and read to them. They are rewarded with donuts. Really. "Donuts with Dad".

*headdesk*

Don't hold back; tell us how you really feel! (Couldn't resist, but you have my sympathy.)

Well, it depends on the tag. Here in AZ for example some expire on the last day of the month where as others expire on the 15th. If yours expires on the 15th you can get ticketed on the 16th. That said, usually the ticket is relatively small, until it is 30+ days expired in which case it jumps up to something obscene like $500+

It was out of date, by over 6 months (unemployment shifts your priorities, as does out and out forgetting.) I'm not bitching that he pulled me over for it, I'm bitching that I got a $145 ticket for it when there was some jackass in front of me doing 50 in a 25.

6 months expired? Sorry buddy, but that is an easy, obvious ticket.

Speeding tickets people can fight. It is hard to fight something expired by 6 months. Also, the dept could be putting pressure on the cops to enforce the stickers. We get hit with that shit all the time... "Enforce seat belts this month because <insert blah General> is all about seat belts right now..."

I know. I'm still pissed that he pulled me over for it. I actually would not have had as much an issue with him calling out my brake lights (discovered they were out yesterday, bought the bulbs, and was going to fix them tonight) as I do with the damn inspection sticker ticket. He had to have been straining in his rearview window to read that sticker.

Yeah, that is rather impressive. I can see him seeing your out brake lights, pulling you over for that and then seeing the sticker but seeing it in his rear-view is impressive.
