Something interesting that happened to me.

Did you get pulled in Darien, Ga. on I-95 going to Florida or was it a little further down (Kingsland)? LOL, They are some crooked money hungry SOB's.

Got me in a Construction zone going 73mph 4 years ago. It wasn't. The construction zone had ended, I just bumped my cruise back to resume to 75mph.

Similar thing happened to me when I lived in the Socialist Republic of Maryland. Got popped doing 15 over, he wrote me up for 10 and told me to take it to court. Go to court, and they tell me to make a donation to the sheriff's department for twice the amount and it'll be dropped and no points. That is a bunch of crooked motherfuckers. Made the donation and they dropped it.

no it was a different county. Im not going to disclose which in case someone is from there and may be in law. It was on I20 that I got pulled. Its a small county dept that got me. Just cant believe how corrupt the system really is.

I'd run from that offer.

Ive hired an attorney to get everything in writing. I paid the $250 this way im not doing anything shady and its all documented. Id rather be certain they dont send the ticket to SC so my insurance doesnt go up. I figure im still saving money in the long run.

Yeap, it is a revenue thing. Small county sheriff department, they just need the money and you unluckily became the donor.

I got a ticket in Arkansas last year just west of the Mississippi line. The local cop told me I could pay the $150 fine and get points or I could pay $250 and get it dropped. I called the number on the back of the ticket and they confirmed it. I paid the $250 and they DID drop it. It's be a new thing that small cities are doing but I think it's a great deal!

Speeding tickets are nothing but revenue generators anyway. Why not make it so that you pay more to not have points? They get more money, and you get to not have points. I think we all win...
