Wow. ive got two tickets in the last 12 years and one was a bs cell phone charge in SoCal. I had my speaker on and was just holding the cell off to the side. Never took my eyes off the road.

Loses her job.
Broke.
Buys a used BMW.
Gets DOZENS of tickets totaling $4k.

Yeah, she really deserves sympathy for all of her smart life choices.

People who are not responsible should not drive cars on the highways.

Driving is a privilege, not a right.

As opposed to having the right to buy a used BMW when you’re close to rock bottom.

Maybe we should just fix stupid.

Oh I love BMWs, just don’t ask me to sympathize with a single mom straddling herself with a $300 car payment on top of a ton of fixed expenses involving her children. For a car brand with some of the highest maintenance costs out there! That’s a gold-plated imbecile.

“Laws do have meaning which seems she can’t understand.”

Another example of soft racism. Liberals believe that black people are too stupid to understand the consequences of their actions.

Why most black people aren’t insulted by this, I am too stupid to understand.

Hand held is hand held.....HA....

Wasn’t CA where they were going to ban ALL hand held devices until someone figured out that a Police Radio (or any two way) had to be hand held and some ‘sharp guy’ got it written in NO exemptions so to Police had to fight the ‘law’?

Like they say, ‘Be careful what you wish for’....

Your post is a good example of out of control goverment turning tickets and fines into a moneymaking operation. So, how much did the state give you to cover all of your time and expenses? An admission of error and an heartfelt apology perhaps?

And the galling thing is that you actually PAID the ticket.

Jessica is extra special so thinks she is eligible for the extra special parking places.

Her $4431 vs. my $0.

it’s very difficult for cops to determine race at night in a pullover.

It's not that easy during the day either. The rear windows on many cars are pretty dark and so it's hard to tell even in the daytime.

Over the span of time it took to get the “PAID” ticket off of Washington states and national computers it ran me over 2000.00 dollars and that does not include my time ....I still had to drive to work as I have always been self-employed and I incurred another stop and court costs to explain why the system showed what it did....I give credit to the Pasco county court for giving me the needed documentation so I could keep my insurances because a non licensed person can’t insure a vehicle....what a costly mess with NO apologies or monetary compensation.
