I could almost say I hate cops right now. But hate is a strong word. And they DO keeps our streets safe from drugs, drunk drivers, and out of control drivers. But do you really think that a *sober* kid driving *before* curfew (10PM) going to a teen center that fails to stop fully at a stop sign deserves a ticket?! And to go to court because it is a "moving violation"? I thought you went to court when you did something really bad like kill someone or drive under the influence. But failure to yield at a f$%#ing stop sign?!?! Gimme a break. Please.
I even told my mom first thing I woke up this morning at about 9:30 or so. She was suprisingly cool about it. I thought she would freak out, but she just sat there and bragged about her *single* moving violation in her life. She got to tell me all the good news about how my insurance is going to go up, the fees at court, and how much driving school costs. $H1+!!! I don't have a job!!!
And the ONLY thing I got out of this was a nice conversation with an officer of the law and figured out I could go 5mph _under_ the speed limit wherever I go.
Like I will tell my parents. It could be worse. I could be drunk or something stoopid like that. I could have been at a party. I could have actually done something wrong other than roll through a dark stop sign in the dark neighborhood on that dark night.

You have to go to court and traffic school because of the ticket? I always thought you only go to court if you're fighting the ticket and traffic school if you want the ticket to stay off your record.

yeah. I don't know exactly what I have to do. I am going to deal with it tonight. But yeah, chels, i wish it was for something more interesting, but with that comes the consequences from the parents. My parents are actually pretty cool about it. My dad found out. I don't know what he thinks yet, but I heard good things from my sister. I will update as stuff happens.
