No. Unless the District of Columbia was a state.

I lived in 6 states, and this is by far the most fricked up.

This is nothing new. I got a speeding ticket in Estelline, TX about 20 years ago and when I went to pay it they told me for an additional $100 it would not go on my record. Somehow doesn't seem legal...

We can look at the absolute number of public officials convicted in federal court on corruption. On that score, New York was No. 1 from 1976 to 2010 with 2,522 convictions. California was No. 2, Illinois No. 3, Florida No. 4 and Pennsylvania No. 5. Yet it’s clear from this list that the most corrupt states are also the states with the biggest populations.

Per capita, Louisiana is the most corrupt state, followed by Mississippi. New York drops to No. 11 on the list, and California falls to 34th. The least corrupt states are Washington and Oregon.

If it makes you feel better to think this, OK, but this is an ignorant statement.

I wish more people offered that deal. I don't give a shite about paying a ticket, I just don't want it to show up on my driving record .

There was a town in Texas that for a litle while was pulling over out of state license plates and threatening them with losing their kids to CPS and going to prison over drug/money laundering charges if the driver didnt waive away his rights to anything valuable in the car.

They were going after engagement rings, jewelry, cash, electronics, etc. Literal highway robbery.

I said something similar to a Texan over here. He said Texas has their share of crooks too which surprised me.

Illinois is the first state to come to mind when I think of corruption. Unfortunately, Louisiana isn't far behind.

This is by far the most corrupt state I've ever lived in. Everything on the state, local, and university levels are run with the mindset of "how can we take more $$ from these people?"
