I got a ticket last Friday but I deserved it. I did a little first gear power wheelie on Gunn Highway when I thought I was alone. Long story short I pulled over, was curteous to the officer, told him I knew it was wrong but it was hard not to hit it every now and then and we ended up laughing about it. Instead of risking everyone's lives running or giving him shit for doing his job I just manned up and took my $120 careless driving ticket, no big deal.

On the flip side, I have gotten multiple tickets for what I consider bullshit infractions (police fund raisers), so it goes both ways. Still, I cannot believe how many people will risk their lives to get out of a simple traffic citation. Most of the time cops are not out to screw you until you give them a reason.
