Default Arghhh! I got a ticket!

Was it speeding? Nope... my first violation in 4 years and it's for rolling thru a stop sign.

I'm so ticked off right now because I didn't roll thru it... 5:30 am on my way to work leaving the residential area where my girlfriend lives... pulled up to the stop sign, hit the brakes, stopped for a quick second, and then took off.

Cop was hiding 100 ft down the road in the bushes... This is a total crock.

3 points on my license and a $104 fine.

Conversation went like this:

"Good morning, do you know why I pulled you over?"

"Well, it wasn't for speeding."

"You rolled thru that stop sign."

"Ok"

"What year is this vehicle?"

"'2006"

"Where are you going this morning?"

"On my way to work."

"Okay, just a min."

Then he walked to his car, came back 15 mins later and issued the ticket.

Not much I can do, his word against mine and going to court would end up costing more in the long run with the court costs, etc...

It was the Port Wentworth, GA PD... them along with Bloomingdale and Pooler (3 little towns right outside of Savannah) have nothing better to do than camp out trying to reach their quota for the month to support their hole in the wall town.

These are the same cops that regularly camp I-95 that has like a 1/2 mile stretch that goes thru their "city limits."

I'm so mad right now... a total BS ticket.
