Picture getting stopped drunk out of your mind, with a beer can in one hand, a hypodermic needle in the other with a joint in your mouth driving the wrong way down a one way street at ninety mph with an expired inspection sticker.
Now let's say for whatever reason the cop decided he's not in the mood to cart you off but he just HAS to write you up for SOMETHING.
So he decides to write you up for the expired sticker, a non-moving, no points, no insurance increase piddly little $25 fine offense. Scribble, scribble. Sign here. Thanks. Have a good day.
Of course there are a lot of people out there that would instantly start arguing with the cop. They would generally manage to talk their way into being charged with everything listed plus disorderly conduct, unsafe operation and a list of things a mile long.
The other idiots are the ones that want to take the expired sticker ticket to court and drag the cop in on his day off.
I have a hard time showing ANY sympathy for idiots like that.
Piccolo would say, "Thank you very much, officer," and not one more single word and drive off thinking he had won the lottery.
I have a damned hard time listening to people that have gotten a break prattle on about what a raw deal they got. I generally give people like that both barrels because they ruin things for everyone.
After running into a few people like that the average cop is likely to say to himself, "Why bother giving someone a break? It's just going to cause me trouble on down the line.
Again, we have to deal with people who ruin things for the rest of us...
