WEEKLY COMPLAINT REPORT. So I woke up thinking again.(bad habit).A Billy Joel lyric floats across my mindIts 4 am on a saturday and you have nothing to do................But put your thoughts into cyberspace............almost Billy. My big beef today has to do with our different branches cleaning up after big or defunct corporations (people) haz mat water air soil reclamation etc..Our tax dollars cleaning water and soil is good.The large soilers of water and soil do not generally pay all or even most.Even if just the coast Guard who keeps our college age childrens weed prices high is deployed to assist in the gulf it costs millions. TRUE STORY CIRCA THE 90s Some local branch (police officer) hiding behind a large rock in the dark AM with a radar gun shoots my SUV Guzzler pulls me over to let me know I was 10 miles per over speed limit.I thanked him for letting me know he thanked me by issuing a fine.Some of my Tax goes to help employ the nice young man who seemed genuinely dissapointed I was not drunk or in altered states).I kindly explained and pointed out he was hiding and I was speeding in the open.I asked if he felt good about protecting my nieghborhood in this manner.He told me to stop being a wise ass and thteatened to take me in.I told him he should be doing something more worth while and offered up a Construction Job.He seemed angry at the thought of production based earnings.Again threatened.I told him to hurry up and write the ticket as I had an 80 mile trip for a buisness meeting in Brooklyn Heights.When I left I asked if he expected a child to chase an errant ball into the dark road at this time?I was speeding for a reason.He slowly as possible write me a couple fines and I was off and indignant.I made the meeting ahead of terrible traffic on the BQE.I started in Guilford Connecticut.I was tickrted less than 1 mile from my McMansion. Being ego driven at the time i was sure to be vindicated by going to court to fight the unjustice and insult of being ticketed on way to work.I was paying over 10 k a year in property tax to the Town at the time.I lost anywhere between 500 and one thousand dollars by not being at work to fight the ticket.Principle I shouted.So when my turn approached I see the prosecutors looking at a file and laughing histercally calling a third employee of the courts to look at something.I noticed the name on the file.Oh no it was mine! They called me forward and explained the young officer wrote everything I said on the back of the ticket.One prosecutor asked what i hoped to gain by talking to a cop in such a manner.I explained I was tired in for a long busy drive towards New York.I explained further the man in uniform upset me due to his lack of awareness.They nollied the fine laughed and instructed me to donate 50$to a Church convienelently located less than a quater mile away. I now am in recovery drive the speed limit and engage in an ego deflating program daily.Life is good now it was good then.You can fight city hall if you would like to lose your daily earnings.The police still dont surcharge my tax bill and still lie in waiting.Waiting for me to break a silly rule so they can fine me.I think this may be the reason modern police approach the car like a soldier in battle.They think someone will shoot them for doing silly things when there must be a bad guy out there to get.Just Saying
