In north west Dallas, I cannot go a day without seeing at least 3 or 4 constables in a very small area that I drive through regularly. I got ticketed and had to have the citation back in the mail to them within two weeks. I was so irritated at being pulled over by someone who has *no* business writing speeding tickets that I apparently ended up waiting too long to get it back to them. My reward? Original fine goes from $106 to $296 dollars and I quote: "However, you may request Deferred Disposition to keep this violation off your driving record. You must request Deferred in writing and submit a payment of $296.00 by the due date listed below." Yeah, I got it without about 7 days to turn it around...And did you catch the blackmail in that statement? I do not have a problem with someone giving a speeding ticket if they are truly doing something dangerous, but this guy was not even patroling a school zone which would have been in affect at the time. Their reason for giving the ticket has absolutely nothing to do with speeding and everything to do with*stealing* money from citizens. This *is* highway robbery.
