Unfreaking believable!

Let me start by saying that I am pro-police, I have the utmost respect for those in law enforcement and I personally believe that a majority of LEO's are upstanding and dedicated individuals...that being said; pissed does not even start to describe that way that I feel right now. Two days ago I received a ticket for IMPROPER TURN (turned left out of a right turn only parking lot before I realized what I was doing and couldn't get turned back a round without stopping traffic - I have a four door Ram megacab diesel, it ain't small) and I went online to pay it today, the ticket fee was $280.00!!!!

I was definitely at fault and have no issue paying the ticket but $280.00 for an improper turn ticket?!? Come on! WTH!

Just needed to vent a little....

The last time I did that (20 years ago) I ended up paying the ticket and the court cost, probably going to lick my wounds and pay better attention in the future..

Ouch, that sucks. I cannot fathom how fines are determined as so many "violations" seemed to have the most ass backwards costs.
