Dude. I just got a 200 dollar ticket for running a red light that was turning yellow to red. Like it was red as the back half of my car passed under the far light, it was close but I was in a hurry with my girlfriend and this fucking pig whips out of his speed trap and says he "has to" give me a ticket for that.

Like, okay, even if I BLATANTLY ran it I can't even justify 200 fucking dollars for it. The asshole must have needed to fill a quota or something because oh my god.

So anyways, I can't afford this right now. What are the chances I get in deeper trouble if I "forget" about it and never pay or pay late?

There probably will be a time in the future where I can afford it and then I'll pay but if not like what am I supposed to do lol? Can you imagine someone in a worse position than me getting that shit? Anyways fuck these assholes any normal person would've just let me off with a verbal warning but no USian fucking pigs have to funnel their money up

I have never gotten a ticket for running a red light. I may have done so once or twice but I guess I was just lucky no one was around to see it. But I have gotten my share of speeding tickets and especially parking tickets and I definitely get the impression they are always looking for the slightest excuse to milk money out of you. It's all the more frustrating when you know that you are actually a pretty safe driver and they get you on the tiniest step over the line while you see others who are behaving really recklessly and nobody seems to care.
