If you get a ticket from. Memphis cop, you can opt to go to 201 Poplar and stand in line with the other dregs of society and plead your case. If you plead guilty, they just take your money and don’t put points on you. The last time I was there, ten or more years ago, I lined up iin what I thought was the proper line. A gal came by and looked at my ticket and said, “No, you should be in the other line.” I got in the line she directed me to and finally got into the court room. After spending my afternoon watching many entertaining things, I was the only one left. A court official asked me what I was doing there. I told them that this is where the gal sent me. They said, “Oh, never mind. Sorry for wasting your time. No charges.” Ok, bye.
I went through the same thing. Show up at court,
they dismiss.
One time I got pulled over for havening my left foot on the dashboard!(long drive and 40 years ago when I could actually do it)
The cop pulled me over was laughing. No ticket.

Fifty odd years ago I moved from a large northern city to a much smaller one in the South to go to work for my Dad.
He gave me a small truck to use with the company logo on it.
Within a few days I got pulled over doing 35 in a 30 zone. I still had my original DL and the cop looked at it, then at the registration, and then he looked hard a the logo on the side of truck, and said “Are you Terclinger’s son from up North?”.
I smiled and replied yes; he smiled back, wrote out and handed me the ticket and said “have a nice day!”
I went home and told my Dad, and he said to fight it in traffic court.
I went to court the week later, stood in line and then sat around for a few hours, and finally they called my name.
I walked up, handed my DL and the truck registration to the clerk, the judge was reading the original of the ticket in his hand, then he looked at the registration, and then at my DL, smiled, and said “Are you Terclinger’s son from up North?”....
I pled guilty.
