driving in the center lane on a residential boulevard, a car passed me on my right. just as he got in front of me, he noticed a policeman giving a ticket to a car on the other side of the street. so the speeding car to my right put on the brakes. to the police on the other side of the road, it appeared as if i was passing this now slowing car....and passing it quickly.

the policeman stopped writing the ticket and did a u-turn and pulled me over. i was cited for doing 35 in a 45 zone...but oops...there was a school, 25 when children are present. This was Sunday morning at 7:00 am.

i said to the judge, there were no children present. the judge asked the police. the police said that there were some cars in the parking lot of the school so that we should presume children were there.

$300

case closed.

For that one, I would have hired a lawyer and asked for a jury trial.
