That is alright, my roommate just got a $50 ticket and a point on his
license yesterday for having the new Tire Rack window sticker required for
the Pro events on his car. The cop was a small towner that is known to
give "Kids" a hard time. It didn't help that my roommate drives a CRX with
aftermarket wheels. So automatically he is a riceboy. The real killer is
after a cop friend looked at the ticket he said that the cop could have
written him up for a repair order or a fine that did not have a point
associated with it. Which is the normal practice. So, the cop
specifically wrote it that way. I normally support cops, because I know
they have very hard jobs, but I cannot stand ones that go after something
as trivial as this.
