I have to disagree with your entire email
how can you be mad at a cop for not letting you off when you were in fact
doing something illegal
cops are not supposed to let people off but they more than often do let
people off for minor offences
you should always just expect to get a fine then it feels better when they
let you off, not just expect to get let off then get shitty when they don't
just my opinion

i

where
>they were pulling cars over. I was pulled over and did the test and i had 2
>beers in 5 hours so i passed the test, then he asked me for my license
which i
>didnt have. I left my wallet at home because i thoguht that there was a
high
>chance of having it stolen or lost at the concert. But i took my proof of
age
>card cause it was a over 18's only. So he asked me if i had any other id so
i
>gave him my proof of age card. So he took it then went back to car where i
>assume he checked with base to see if i had a license, which i do, and to
see
>if my car was regestered, which it is. So after about 5 minutes he came
back to
>me and asked for my address, whcih i gave to him then he said he was
issuing me
>with a fine of $69 for not having my license on me. Thats it. Im fuckin
pissed
>off for a few reasons- i wasnt drink driving, wasnt speeding, wasnt
driving
>like a fangio, i wasnt a smart arse to the cop, i have never had a ticket
for

gave
>me the fine for a small offence that was my first run in with the law. And
>about 10 years ago i was in the back of my family car when we were coming
back
>from a restarant when dad got pulled over, he passed the breath test, then
the
>cop asked him for his license which he left at home, but the cop said ok
dont
>woory just remember it next time. And in the last year my mate was pulled
over
>for doing 112 in a 70 zone and the cop let him off with a verbal
warning.And
>that rich poofter Mr Faber castell was clocked at 203 in a 110 zone and got
off
>with paying the $56 court costs and going to some piss weak education
course.
>He didnt get license suspended or fined or community service. Well the
bottom
>line is i am a uni student who is poor and i dont want to pay the fine and
i
>honestly beelive that i have been harshly done by, especially when you
consider
>the mitigating circumstances. How do i go about protesting the fine and
what
>chance do i have of getting off. Im not a happy chappy.
