Dude. I just got a 200 dollar ticket for running a red light that was turning yellow to red. Like it was red as the back half of my car passed under the far light, it was close but I was in a hurry with my girlfriend and this fucking pig whips out of his speed trap and says he "has to" give me a ticket for that.

Like, okay, even if I BLATANTLY ran it I can't even justify 200 fucking dollars for it. The asshole must have needed to fill a quota or something because oh my god.

So anyways, I can't afford this right now. What are the chances I get in deeper trouble if I "forget" about it and never pay or pay late?

There probably will be a time in the future where I can afford it and then I'll pay but if not like what am I supposed to do lol? Can you imagine someone in a worse position than me getting that shit? Anyways fuck these assholes any normal person would've just let me off with a verbal warning but no USian fucking pigs have to funnel their money up

    This. Only way out of it is to go to the court date. Most of the time cops don't even show up for those and as long as you show you can get out of the ticket just for them being absent. Other times the cops just want OT and show up and usually don't give a fuck about the ruling because they get paid OT regardless. Cops be getting easy six figures doing this in my area.
