Well I think what a lot of you are forgetting is that the CJ System is the art of the deal. This trickles down to the street. If you are stopped for a righteous violation i.e. one where you have legitimately committed the civil infraction that you were stopped for and the copper tickets you for something else to avoid a hefty fine and a surcharge he/she has cut you a break. Of course the ideologically pure living in the never never land of shouldville will never find this acceptable because there should be no speed limits, I get that but again I live in the real world and worked in a system where the art of the deal was practiced to a degree that would put Donald Trump to shame. I guess if offered an option between a seatbelt violation and a speeding ticket I should say "no Mr Po-Leese man you are wrong you should let me go free cuz spoeding laws violate natural laws or you should ticket me for an offense that I committed not a lessor one cuz otherwise some people might get all offended and it would violate my sense of moral purity."
I think I got it. If I am ever faced with that situation I'll opt for a street justice plea bargain and let the rainbow and unicorn boyz pay the speeding ticket lest their ideological purity be compromised. Shouldville and the way it ought to be must be a wonderful place to live. It's not my neighborhood, though, I live in a place called real world and I'll catch what breaks I can. Of course I will be chastised by the usual subjects for saying that's what's wrong, I've sold out to the JBTs etc etc, got it.
