2. $300 ticket for five miles an hour over the limit? I dont believe that for a second, and besides, if they didnt drive five miles over the limit, there would be NO ticket.
3. I dont believe that there are ANY 2 second yellow lights anywhere. I may be wrong.
Try again.

Sorry Snelby, you are wrong.
The street I live off of has a 30 mph speed limit, and is a dead end. My elderly neighbor recieved a speeding ticket for 35 mph, two houses from his house. The LEO was shooting radar on our street, caught a real criminal and told him "you were going 15% over the speed limit"....$175.00 fine, PLUS court fees. The poor guy was shaking like a leaf, and said he did not know the last time if ever he got a ticket before. Of course my city is high end, you would expect high ticket costs.
My service man got a photo enforced ticket 6 months ago. Upon his complaining about the timing of the light, we went up to the intersetion in Arnold Missouri and timed the light (keep in mind this is a 45 mph intersection), the light timed between 2 and 3 seconds. We complained to the City of Arnold, they "investigated", but said my guy still owed the fine.

It's your turn to talk about the experiances you have never had.
The LEOs have been turned into the Highway Men of the new age.
