Nabbed!!

They got me!  Very rarely do I ever disobey the all-governing “Rules of the Road”.  I’m one of the “one-percenters” that log thousands of miles on the highway and reads, comprehends, and obeys the big white signs with the numbers that read: SPEED LIMIT.  In fact, it really amazes me how truly ignorant our society has become that one of most easily-interpreted LAWS of the land is carelessly and intentionally disobeyed by 9 out of 10 vehicles that I encounter on the road.  Those are the people who threaten my safety, along with yours, your children, and your mom.

Regardless, at local Denver intersection that I’ve crossed hundreds of times before, I took a slight chance at making a quick left turn just as the light had gone red.  I knew I’d have no problem completing my operations long before the column of stopped traffic would lurch forward to my position.

FLASH!  “What the hell was that?”  I asked.

They took your picture. “My passenger responded.”

Caught.  That’s when I knew my dire circumstances .  Big Brother had me by the balls.  There was nothing I could do but accept defeat and wait for the whipping by authorities.

I got the fine in the mail.  A nice fat demand for $75 accompanied by a video of the whole scene, and a photo of one handsome looking criminal!
