We had to go down one night for a ticket. It sucks. Did not feel safe at all. We made a night of it with dinner and a date! 4951

@GoldenGirl.....Saying a lil' prayer that the weather and rain holds off until your baby boy gets back home safe and sound.........And also that the officer is a no-show and his ticket gets dismissed! 4951

@GoldenGirlMy dh had to go to court at 7:30p for a speeding ticket.  I cannot believe that I have to do jury duty again!  I did it less than a year.  In Massachusetts you are exempt if you appeared for jury duty and it has been less than three years.  I am getting ticked off that they keep on picking me.  I will do it this time but I am not going back in a year.  Why is it other states can exempt you if you have already appeared for jury duty if less than three years?   4951

@calliecat: I refuse to go.  They can come arrest me.  I don't care.
Every single time (which is many) that I've shown up, I just get dismissed in minutes.  Apparently being a white male with a job and no criminal history is a negative to be on a jury.  They shouldn't waste my time by even sending me a summons.   4951

@Odin:
 
That used to happen to me as well, until I passed 50.  I guess if you're older they're more inclined to think you are sympathetic. 4951

@TXSunDvl: and that's what pisses me off...
I am sympathetic.  I have a "no way would I convict for any non dui traffic violation" policy.I'm not a fan of LEOs being turned into revenue tools by bloated government.  So, if you get a ticket, your lawyer should want me on the jury.  (and there are many white  males with jobs that feel that way too). 4951

and FYI, Jury Nullification  is legal.  If you are on a jury and you feel a law is unjust, you can convict or not as you wish.  You DO NOT have any legal or morale obligation to convict even if the evidence is overwhelming.  You can simply think the law is stupid. 4951

@ TXSunDvlI am older than 50.  They keep asking me to serve! @Odin They also like white females with no criminal record too!  I know other people who have not served who have lived here longer.   4951

My sweet princess got a ticket last summer and we had to go to the night traffic court.  It really was not that bad.  I think we were there for maybe an hour, it was pretty quick.Since she was under 18 a parent had to go with her.  4951

@fallon if the judge only knew the threats of bodily harm you make on a daily basis and the actual threat to public safety you actually are....Emoticon 4951

 Well worth the trip, because before I showed up my fines for that ticket were in the $400+ range.  I was speeding, following too close, ran a stop light, didn't have proof of insurance with me, etc.  EmoticonI don't get tickets often, but when I get one, I get one!
 
@Fallon: I KNEW I liked you! You go girl!
