Care to give any details, like where you were, what kind of posted limit there was and what was your actual speed?

80 in a 65; mild traffic, central california

Why are you asking for 1300$ to cover a 146$ fine?

I've payed $1,000+ in tickets this year

I said that was for entertainment value; if I received those I would have done the option the audience chooses; you choose my fate HAHA

You must not be from California.  It's called taxes.

If it was a speed trap there are defenses you can use.  Grab a cal trans manual and look up the survey for that stretch of road.

With my usual lack of charisma; here it is:

What say you?

Maybe we could get a group of 12+ people; get a ticket in the same speed trap and burn our tickets in front of the courthouse in protest. Get a news crew of course.

Whatever you do don't tell the judge he can't be your judge because of conflict of interest with California.

Does speed really kill? Sometimes, yes, but when the speed limits are set artificially low, and enforcement is targeted to those areas where the limit is far below traffic speed, then all the speed kills campaign does is keep drivers complacent about paying fines that don't improve safety.

In this video, I investigate the culture and science surrounding speed enforcement in BC, coupled with my trademark Simpsons, Supertroopers, and Family Guy references.

Enjoy!

You're right, it's a full blown tyranny.

See the above post. It is absolutely tyranny. The definition of a tyrannical state is one in which every aspect of life is dictated. I cant think of one aspect of driving that is not dictated.

Just because you dont mind giving up freedom for safety or bowing to your overloads doesn't mean that they rest of us should have to take it in the ass. 

does anyone know a country where driving isn't nearly regulated this heavy?

micro-managed tyranny; the state has long wished it could do what it has the ability to do now

Welcome to the fucked up world we live in. 1984 is real my friend.

Nothing can be done about it  Cry

Other than taking away the funding

1984?  It's just a speeding ticket.

Maybe to you.

This is just the tip of the ice burg.

To drive first you have to give over the right to your private property.. by registering you car with the state. It is not your car. Dont pay your taxes on it and watch them take it

Then you are mandated to buy private insurance so that you can drive it down the road. It is not your money you dont get to decide how to spend it. You get to spend it the way that the state mandates  

Then you are mandated to wear your seat belt. It is not your life you can not decide the risk you are willing to take

Then you have to get it inspected. I was an auto tech for 10 years and I cant make the decision if my vehicle is safe or not

Then you have to run mandated fuel through it with ethanol that destroys the fuel delivery system

The you have to follow arbitrary speed limits again you dont get to decide what is a safe.

There is nothing about it that is not dictated to you.

You dont even get to decide on the body style. You get the body style that the state mandates the manufactures to produce

how could i live if i didn't pay they arrest me or just take away a license?

I just imagine the people who wouldn't have the money to pay; one ticket is half a day's drive away if you want to plead to the judge.

This is today's tyranny; yeah it's the light side compared to jailing drug users and tear gassing protestors and bystanders at the G20 protests
