Cage infringements vs bike infringements? Fair?

[TheDemonLord]

no. but it's not illegal to have a shitty attitude. whatever you got pulled over for probably is.

anyway. it's just a notice of infringement. it doesn't actually compel you to do anything...

Of course it isn't illegal to have a shitty attitude, but a shitty attitude leads a grumpy cop to nitpick everything they can and where there is a judgement call (is it 1.55 mm or 1.6 mm on the tread depth) they err on the side of writing a ticket, with the knowledge that you are

a) unlikely to fight it
and
b) even if you do, the judge is unlikely to rule in your favor, and will probably slap on an additional fine for good measure.

with the knowledge that you are

a) unlikely to fight it

that helps their cause immensely

and
b) even if you do, the judge is unlikely to rule in your favor, and will probably slap on an additional fine for good measure.

no. the judge is only authorised to rule on the matter as pertaining to legislature.

also, the cops usually don't even bother going to court. which is where the fee schedule comes into it's own, in that they're then obliged to pay your time. which comes back to the first thing you should say to them: nut up or fuck up.

nut up or fuck up.

A woman got pulled over for speeding by a New Zealand Police motorcycle officer. When he walked up to her window and opened his ticket book she said, "I bet you're going to sell me tickets to the Policeman's Ball."

He replied, "No, Ma'am, New Zealand Police don't have balls."

There followed a moment of silence while she smiled. Without saying another word, he closed his book, got back on his motorcycle and left.
