wait a second... are you spying on my house or are you psychic?
how could you have possibly known that I had an out-of-state
license plate on my car when I got the ticket?

In MA, you can only get ticketed if you are going 5 mph over the limit.


IMO, any ticket for 34 in a 30 is absurd.
it was in a town in Ohio. I knew I was going slightly above 30mph
when I got stopped, which is why I asked the officer to show me the
radar(turned out he was using laser). He took it off his motorcycle
and showed it to me... the screen said 34mph. I signed it and went
on my way. It was only when I got back to my hotel that I started
reading the back of ticket for fines. $235. Oh well.... I guess
I can also blame my parents?(for me not being a hot girl, which may
have gotten me out of the ticket... absolutely true... as many of my
hot female friends can testify)
