I know some people seem to act that way, but most people 
that have posted on this list have owned up to the deed and 
don't seem to be mad at getting caught, they DO gripe about 
the attitude of the police or the way they were treated 
sometimes, but a lot were given a break and they appreciated it.

Fighting a ticket, as Paul does, does not mean he is angry, 
he is just exercising his right to a day in court.

I have only gotten four speeding tickets in my life, I also 
got two warnings, but no warnings in the last 30 years, even 
if I was nice and did everything right for the cop.  They 
don't give many warning tickets in Illinois I guess.  Only 
one of those tickets was what I would call unjust. Cop in a 
tiny city, making money for city hall.  But I paid it and 
moved on, well maybe not totally.  I used to shop in that 
city, but I made a point of telling several stores that I 
won't be shopping there anymore because of their police 
department.  And I have never shopped there again.

I don't get mad, I get even, if only in a round-about 
way...it makes me feel better!
