Traffic court - I'm sorry

Back in november 2007, I got a ticket for speeding, taking a exit ramp at 66 on a 35. payed my fines and thought I'll go see if I can reduce the fine, but appearing in court. I just got back after 2.5 hours at this place called traffic court - man I'm sorry I went there. Pathetic. DMV looks like a extremely well oiled and efficient machine compared to this. Airport security checks are easy.

Pretty much everyone who works there, looks at you, like you're guilty. Was #43 in line, sat through a variety of cases and then finally plead guilty with some explanation around the circumstances around which I was caught. Good try, but judge didnt buy it, no reduction in fine.
Pay on and move on. So I pay my fees and come out to my car, parked on the street and what I see there - a F&*$in parking ticket. WTF? The traffic court itself has about 25 parking spaces, most of them occupied by employees and the cops. So I had to park it on the street across. It was raining and I didnt see a red curb.

Anyways, am frikkin pissed. I'll pay by $36 and move on. Dont want to waste my time on these morons!
