212 Squadron - "The Old Man's Eyes And Ears"
Here I am this morning driving to work in the lovely (read: Shitty) state of Connecticut. Doo do do doo do doo do do do doo. Minding my own bullcrap when a cop pulls me over. He doesn't flash his lights, or flip the siren - he just honks his horn at me.
That alone makes me go "What the fuck?"
So I pull over and he informs me my car's registration ran out in January.
Again, "What the fuck?"
So, he hands me a ticket for $93 and says "Don't let me catch you around again. I'm driving that way, you drive the opposite way." Basicly, if you're unregistered, you get your car impounded, you get billed for impounding, etc.
So here I am, holding this damned ticket, mouth hanging open like a fish. I jump in my car, dash down to the DMV and get my car registered in exactly 55 minutes from the time he started writing the ticket.
So, a friend of mine who called the police station on my behalf said that the station said I should just sign "Not Guilty", add a copy of my registration and send it in. Does this work? What about my insurance? Do they get informed of such an infraction? Does it add points to my license? Anyone?
