Your taxes pay that woman's salary. Doesn't that make you part of the "system" as well? The guy is a fucking asshole taking it out on her.

Also, leaving paper all over the floor should net him a littering fine. Dude is a total prick.

Working with law enforcement, I know how limited their resources are. They simply don't have the ability to patrol everywhere all the time and catch everybody breaking the law. So they put their assets where the risk and hazards are the highest, where the public is likely endangered. I know people spend hundreds, if not more, on radar detectors, and when I was young, I didn't get how this all worked, but now I do and I haven't gotten a ticket in probably 15 years. It's not about radar detectors, it's about common sense.

They are not milking anyone. People are really so stupid that they'll speed in urban/residential areas. I see them do it all the time.

I've driven plenty fast and I have fun, but I see stupid people all the time, speeding in places where they are going to get caught. Police don't just target people for fun, they do it in places where there are accidents, where the hazards are higher, where people are endangering others. Douchebags that roll through stopsigns in residential areas. Ones that speed through neighborhoods where kids are playing, etc. The idiot weaving through traffic 30mph faster than everyone else on the way to work, etc. I have no sympathy for these idiots.

So far, all the tickets Ive gotten in the last 5 years have been on empty highways/rural roads late at night. Most cops arent sitting in areas where hazards are higher, they are sitting in places that are easy to catch speeders.

You may have a bad cop writing bogus tickets, but certainly not one every 6.4 minutes every working hour of every working day.

Youd be amazed how quickly cops can write tickets. I was doing a road project and we had a cop that would sit in our area every day, M-F for 8-10hrs a day. He would pull over tons of people, with his all time record of 104 in one day. Hed pull someone over, write the ticket quick, turn around and pull someone else over, and on and on.

This is exactly correct, and do not forget fines are doubled in "work zones".

What a dick.

Also, they can refuse to accept the pennies as payment.

Make the dick pick them up himself.

http://www.snopes.com/business/money/pennies.asp

Up until the late 19th century, pennies and nickels weren't legal tender at all. The Coinage Acts of 1873 and 1879 made them legal tender for debts up to 25 cents only, while the other fractional coins (dimes, quarters, and half dollars) were legal tender for amounts up to $10. This remained the law until the Coinage Act of 1965 specified that all U.S. coins are legal tender in any amount. However, even in cases where legal tender has been agreed to as a form of payment, private businesses are still free to specify which forms of legal tender they will accept. If a shop doesn't want to take any currency larger than $20 bills, or they don't want to take pennies at all, or they want to be paid in nothing but dimes, they're entitled to do so (but, as mentioned earlier, they should specify their payment policies before entering into transactions with buyers). Businesses are free to accept or reject pennies as they see fit; no law specifies that pennies cease to be considered legal tender when proffered in quantities over a particular amount.

That applies to Private Businesses. I could be wrong, but usually Government doesnt fall under the Private Sector.

Fully agree, it's pretty random and doesn't seem to have much with enforcing the law in high risk areas at all (which I would be all for, for the record). For the most part this is revenue generating activity for the municipalities. Number of times I've seen the traps on the two lane city roads with speed limit of 60km/hr, where police would be at the bottom of the hill just "collecting". And let's not forget the other issue, speed limits on North American highways are just ridiculous low and very old. Modern cars are more than capable going safely above 65 mph. so most people speed at some point anyway.

Agree, not cool, he got caught, needs to man up pay properly, and move on.

Not sure about businesses, but in Canada, banks won't touch larger quantity of coins, even $1 and $2 ones, unless they are packaged/wrapped.

The US really needs a law like we have in Canada.

http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/a...52/page-1.html

Limitation

(2) A payment in coins referred to in subsection (1) is a legal tender for no more than the following amounts for the following denominations of coins:

(a) forty dollars if the denomination is two dollars or greater but does not exceed ten dollars;

(b) twenty-five dollars if the denomination is one dollar;

(c) ten dollars if the denomination is ten cents or greater but less than one dollar;

(d) five dollars if the denomination is five cents; and

(e) twenty-five cents if the denomination is one cent.

95% of tickets written are just done for extra tax revenue. Nothing more.

[larrysing]

Do we know what he is protesting? Was it a speed trap? Does he reject the idea that the state can control his speed? Is he mad at the town?

And the big question: why does he have/how did he get so many pennies?

You can order them from your bank.

You do understand that the federal government gives money (tax dollars) to the states to keep your ass in line, don't you?

What is this officer's name? If he's working double time all year he still has to write a ticket every 12 minutes. That is an impressive feat. Tell us the town please so we can stay away.

[RoundelObsession]

For all you Girly men.

[fecurtis]

He gets caught speeding and decides to pay in pennies with some woman who had nothing to do with him breaking the law and he's a hero?

He's not a hero, but rather a dipshit asshole.

No, I'm just man enough to accept personal responsibility when I get caught doing something wrong.

Something a lot of people on here seem too childish to do. Not surprising seeing how entitled people are.
