Charged with bursting balloon

When he asked the officer if he was serious, he was met with a steely glare and the reply 'do you think popping a balloon is funny?'.

it's odd that you mention that, I always see cops camped out at a speed trap last week of every month....
like clockwork
 
Jeeez, how's the guy supposed to defend himself in the courtroom?

If I were him, I'd tell the judge that it was in fact, his son who popped the balloon. What, are you going to fine a minor?

There are no ticket quotas. but an officer has to write enough tickets to justify their hours during the day. At least it is that way with the Tenenssee highway patrol. They have to have 1 ticket per two hours or something close. They get credited for 2 hours for an accident. So alhtough there is no "quota" they either write some tickets or they have some splainin to do.
 
Thank you NYPD for this fine exercise in us vs them. We'll wait patiently for your next whine about how all the citizens out there don't trust you and vote against increasing their taxes to support further spurious tickets and harassment.
 
Well, at least Georgia's out of the spotlight for a bit...

...until some religious fanatic has his testicals bitten off by his rabid sister/girlfriend in rural Butts county.
 
What the fvck kind of dumbass-cop-on-a-powertrip kind of bullsh!t is this?? You have got to be kidding me?

You'd think that after 9-11 and their newfound "respect" that people bestowed upon them that they wouldn't stoop to such lowly levels to give out tickets.

This is just beyond belief and goes far beyond acting in the best interest of the public:|
 
Wow, that is incredible. I mean, if you're the guy getting the ticket, what can you possibly say to something like that, at least what can you say that is not going to get you an additional citation. The saddest thing is, even assuming the judge throws it out, the guy still had to waste his time in court with something as stupid as this.

bullshiat.
 
Man and the cops will ignore cars cutting me off (while I'm on the bike) right in front of their eyes, and laugh at me when I try to get a police report for my identity being stolen.
