My Uncle's friend did this for a jake brake ticket in some small Alabama town. I want to say it was a touch over $300.

Why haven't we eliminated the penny already? Makes little cents to still have it as currency.

man gets caught speeding in what was likely a neighborhood (just guessing off the speed limit).

man freaks out that cop actually shows up to court date.

man acts like he was held at gunpoint over the fine and takes out anger on random clerk who had nothing to do with it.

man actually feels proud of what he did.

man is confirmed self important a-hole.

I argue this all the time. The nickel and dime can take a hike too.

I believe it. He really showed "the man"...how much time did he waste fighting the ticket and then getting the pennies together to pay the ticket? sounds like a real genius

I am always pretty nice to the clerks.
Just be chill and pay the money and maybe the record doesn't make it up the chain.

frick that guy. Speed limit posted 30. He broke the law then went to the trouble to request a jury trial and was convicted by his PEERS. Not by a judge but by 12 people that found him guilty. fricking don't speed dumbass. I wish they would beat him with a sack of pennies.

True.

It's just too bad that Krot Springs and Port Barre exist.

The only way to guarantee yourself not getting a ticket is to not drive. If you're always eyeballing your speedometer you're not watching the road which is unsafe and you might miss a speed limit sign. If you're on high alert for speed limit signs then you can't watch your speedometer close enough.

So if someone emptied a clip at you, and you aren't hit, they did nothing wrong... RIGHT?

This penny dude is just another anti-government idiot who would call the law in a New York minute if he felt wronged, and needed multiple whippings as a child.

I will never understand the people who gripe and moan over a speeding ticket when they know they were speeding...man up and pay the fine without being a dramatic bitch about it.

It goes back to their upbringing. They are used to getting away with everything. They don't care about anyone but themselves.
