You know they did not count it. They just took them to the local banker and let them put it in the coin roller.

39 in a 30 is a douchebag ticket but his beef is with the asshole cop, not the secretary at front desk

He probably got tackled outside for walking on the wrong side of the street on his way out

You putt around everywhere at the speed limit? Cops sure don't
 

Only going 9 mph over the speed limit, pretty high fine.

 

You know I haven't heard about any getting a "roadside reduction" of a lowered speed or something like a parking ticket instead of a speeding ticket in ages. I wonder if that became uncommon well before body cams

 



edit years ago with the carbon paper tickets they would sometimes write "roadside reduction" at the bottom so a DA would not offer a further plea bargain. Now that I think about it, now the police office normally churns out a signed and sworn supporting affidavit at the same time as the ticket off a computer in the police car so that might be why no one wants to write fake tickets with lower speeds or some other violation that the driver did not really commit. It could arguably be perjury





I got pulled over for speeding once (well many times but I mean "this one time) on my way to visit my mom on a summer friday night. I was moving along with the flow of traffic but whatever I was speeding, not sure why I got culled from the herd. The police woman was kind of flirty (this was long ago when I was thin and had nice cars that were not filled with baby seats and tiny smushed animal crackers). She asked where I was going and I said "Home" meaning to me, my mother's home, not the house I owned and lived in in another county. She kind of smiled and said that she would write me for not changing my license address with the DMV (she thought the address was wrong because of what I said) if I agreed to plead guilty to it. It was a no points nonmoving ticket and she was trying to be nice so I smiled and said I promised. I could have easily gotten the ticket dismissed anyway, but I promised and like a dummy I mailed it in.






A couple of weeks go by and a guy hires me to represent him in the same town where I got the ticket. He had gotten in an argument with his wife and took the phone off the wall (the old big kind) and bonked her over the head with it. I got him a plea bargain from misdemeanor assault to a harassment 2nd, a non criminal offense. We went to court, plead out and he got fined something like $ 125. The next day I got my fine for not changing my address with the DMV from the same court, it was like $ 50 more than whatever the guy the night before got fined




 

Where ever MN is just got crossed of my "summer vacation list"

 

Sanders tried to fight the ticket in court, taking the case to trial where he eventually lost.

The court's clerks gathered all the pennies and took them to Coinstar locations around town. They said it took about three hours to count them.

Sanders is now owed money by the city because he overpaid by $7.81.

"I’m just going to go ahead and let them keep that,” he said.

City staff told NBC5 it's not against the rules to pay using pennies, but they wouldn't encourage it. In fact, they say this is the second time in memory someone has paid with pennies.

If I took tickets that seriously I'd be in a grave

It seems he got the ticket in his own neighborhood.

So I'm going to assume it was one of those deals to get people to slow down in the neighborhoods.
