Pay it and forget about it.

It's not really about what is fair or right, this is how cities make money. They could care less if you have your headlight fixed, but the money they make from it is what they are after. I realized long ago that most traffic laws are just forms of making money. I think most traffic laws are a joke with the way they are enforced and the amount of money they can fine for the littlest of things.

The god damned light is fixed, that's supposed to be the point, right? If that's the point, then things should be done, right? Any excuse to tax me out of an extra $124.
So you KNEW our response before you posted. :p

You're right again.

Show the judge the police report stating your car was stolen or even the local prosecutor. Given some cirumstances they might let you off even though the fix it ticket was made before the car was stolen.

And since they put a warrent out for you, I'm sure you're going to have to pay another 200-500 dollar fine.

I don't understand why you are so angry because you didn't follow the process that you were fully aware of... You didn't comply with the law. You need to just cowby the f@ck up, admit you didn't do what you were supposed to and pay the fine... then get on with your life.

notfred, trembling, enters his prison cell with a huge guy named "Hammer."

"What u in for?," Hammer demands.

notfred's lip quivers.

Hammer volunteers "I killed three nuns and ate their hearts then shot a mailman before they shot me in the leg and got me."
"I said what are you in here for boy!?"

notfred confesses: "I had a burned out headlight and missed the deadline to send the fine in."

Hammer eyes notfred and licks his lips. "You sure are purty boy..."



Yeah, I'm bored at work :D

I once had to pay a $90 squealing tires ticket when it wasn't

me out. I even had a witness but still COP won and I lost $90
in the end.

now THAT'S retarded...i used to make my tires "squeal" a lot when i had my anorexic civic, i don't see how it hurts anyone or anything (other than the life of my tires, boohoo).

Damn, if I ever had a warrent issued for my arrest I'd at least want it to be for something good. So when your kids ask you why you went to jail you don't have to say "Well, I didn't change my headlight bulb in time and next thing you know the federalies are knocking down my door"

OMG! It's the feds! stuff all the burnt out bulbs down the toilet! wipe that filament off your nose!

Due to budget cuts, they have to resort to any means of generating income, even if they have to become Nazis.

If the government gets more tax revenues (and maybe open up a few restaurants and start making money) then they won't have to be so unreasonable.
