Come and get me, Copper!

Man, I got a traffic ticket just now.  Motorcycle cop got me for turning a little too wide.  Yeah, where I live, if you're turning into a two lane road, you have to turn into the closet lane then signal and move over to the lane you need.  No one ever does that and I didn't do it here.  But this copper gave me a $260 ticket for it!

$260 smackers for one offense.  My girlfriend got less for going 81 in a 55 a couple of years back!

I think the local city really makes money off their police force.  This isn't the first rather arbitrary stop with an over-sized fine for something rather persnickety.  I'll show up in court for this one, hope they give me a discount.  I am unemployed right now thanks to no pharmacy wanting to hire a middle aged Hispanic in this area.  

Its a very hot day here too, so that motorcycle cop probably wasn't feeling too forgiving, having to sweat out in this heat in all his equipment.   Humph, see if I vote for the local tax levies next time, copper! Nyah!
