Title: fucking government

I've been informed that my license will be suspended on June 16th unless I pay my fine for 'disobeying a stop sign' before then. It's now $158, hurray freedom tax  doodthing;

a full stop is not necessary during most practical traffic maneuvers. my roll through cost me 205$ total, with a court hearing. those thieving bitches.

I hardly even rolled it. I came to a very nearly complete stop like everyone does and to make it even more ridiculous there wasn't another goddamn car or pedestrian in sight and it was a THREE-WAY INTERSECTION. and there's nothing I can do because they have a video of it and technically I didn't come to a full zero-momentum stop

i was in a secluded wooded drive, right off school campus, late in the eventing. there is hardly ever any opposing traffic at this particular intersection (more of a formality), as two of the paths lead into driveways, but there is a stop sign nonetheless. i didn't bother to check or see the fucker lurking there in the  shrubbery. and he pulled me over. luckily, i wasn't doing any of my usual business. that could have ended badly.

I'll probably get fucked like that. I live in a gated neighborhood (the upper-middle class side, not the upper class side - I got street cred, yo) so there's never cops around to bitch about how I drive. There's a slang word, "starwood stop", named for this neighborhood, because nobody around here stops unless they have to. Because of this, everyone who lives here ends up being a lazy driver. It's already happening to me... I roll through every stop sign on my way to school.

LOAD OF BULLSHI!!!

I believe a rolling stop is good enough if there is no traffic. I roll almost every time.

Red light camera caught me one time on a bullshit incident.

Red light cameras are the worst, everything needs to be taken case-by-case, not through blanket rules with no exceptions.
