    What a load of shit, that's like saying "if you're not doing anything wrong you won't be hassled by the cops" or "if you're innocent you won't goto jail" you're either naive or stupid, I do hope it's the former.

    Never had a ticket I didn't deserve. But then I have never been charged with a crime, let alone one I did not deserve. I know a few who were innocent of what they were charged with. None of them wee innocent altogether.

    They have always done something.

    Busybody cops?

    I had two of them around here last week, asking some very awkward questions.
    "Did you put rophynol in our coffee?"
    "Why are we chained to the wall of this basement?"
    "What are you going to do with that chainsaw?"

    Really? How much more effective do you think ANPR cameras would be at reducing petrol drive offs over say, I dunno... existing standard CCTV cameras that the attendants have access to? Fuck all I'd say, especially when you consider the likely expense.

    Anyhoo, 'Spokes posted it to begin with so I call a steaming pile of bullshit, until facts are presented otherwise.

    Guess I was wrong seems it might be the latter, don't worry I'm sure Boris has a spare pair of blinders for you to complete the look (but given some of your ramblings you may already own a pair?).

    A reasonable person (who is also a competant deiver) will know if their speedo is wildly off. To expect that same person to judge it's accuracy to within +/- 10% is, in my view, unreasonable.

    It would be more accurate to say that you have never had a ticket you did't commit the crime for? Whether you deserved the ticket is more a matter of philosophy than law.

    Semantics. Speeding is not a crime. In most cases a cop having a bad day could have metered out far more costly fines.

    From a philosophical standpoint I usually deserved a far bigger serve of the ticket book than I received.
    From a regulation standpoint I was issued an infringement notice to a lesser speed than that captured by the officers measuring equipment.

    You've obviously met some of the more reasonable ones. It's nice (or at least less shitty) when that happens.

    Sorry I got rid of mine long ago, decided being ignorant was boring. How ya getting on with finding some shades with the mirror on the inside? I know how much you'd prefer to remain ignorant & never see the truth ever.
