49. AA experience has been terrible

Mon Jun 26, 2017, 12:46 PM

in the past. Nothing worse than AA's forced to live as slaves until Abe Lincoln came along.

However I am talking present day situation. Every police brutality, mis-behavior etc in the news has 1 thing in common. The AA stopped did not act with respect, and did not comply the cop's orders.

The place to argue about your unfair stop and ticket or even rude behavior by the cop is in courts. Not in the street where the cop is in control. In court the cop is your equal, not your superior.

In my own case, I have received fair amount of traffic tickets, especially in city of Chicago. Many were totally unjustified. I was in my 20's. Looking back, I am so glad I had the wisdom to not get belligerent with the cop. I went to traffic court instead. IIRC, I beat almost all unjustified tickets. Sometimes I had to attend traffic school, but the fine was waived and nothing added to my driving record.
