How (not?) to pay a speeding ticket
I was really torn over the headline for this one… how not to.. or maybe how to pay a speeding ticket.
Speeding tickets happen. Sometimes they are your fault, and sometimes they are just traps for the local governments to collect a “road tax”. More often than not, the latter is the case these days. It’s just another example of the government being invasive in our lives. Keeping our roads safe has given way to the all too common assembly line speed trap. Oh, and red light cams… what better? Complete and total traffic revenue automation! Why one of these little gems was erected at the intersection of my neighborhood just this morning.
But I digress… so you get a ticket and are mad as hell. So how do you communicate this? Michael Harold Lynch of Washington has come up with a solution that is, strangely, legal.
“The fine was $206. Lynch decided to let his anger flow by placing $206 in a plastic bag, peeing in the bag and sending it in.”
The payment may not have been accepted, but I am sure his message was clearly communicated to the powers that be. It is now well known how he feels about the ticket.
This guy as some kahones! In these days of rapid government expansion, we need to look for unique and efficient ways to communicate our outrage to those in power. This is absolutely disgusting… but I will give him creativity points in effectively communicating his anger to the government. Bonus for keeping it legal!
