Thus the whole ridiculousness of it begins.
You're pulled over for speeding under the guise of safety.
The officer has to go faster than you are, interrupting the flow of traffic, to pull you over.
Then, if you don't pay, they will suspend your license and fuck up your credit.
Then, again in the name of safety, an officer runs your tag and realizes the RO is suspended, and pulls you over...and threatens you with force, taking your car, and kidnapping you... because you didn't pay the king's ransom.. If you're lucky, they give you another notice demanding you show up in court... If you don't, they send armed men to get you. Resist, and you'll be killed.
But yeah... it's OK.. it's all for your safety....
