So, I got a fix it ticket for my back break lights in June. I got my car repaired the exact same day, and then a month later, I got the stamps to say that I fixed it and then I went to pay the ticket. I went like two days before it was due according to the instructions on the ticket that I was given. I go in and, guess what, there's no fucking ticket. NOTHING has been filed. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT?!?!?!? And the chick at the Court House tells me that the cop has something like a year to file the ticket, and that she will track it for 90 days and let me know if the ticket gets filed.
I don't hear anything back and after a while, to be honest, I'm really not thinking about it. THREE FUCKING MONTHS, PEOPLE!! NOTHING!!! And then TODAY, I get a letter in the mail stating that my license will be suspended as of Dec 26th for failure to appear or failure to pay a fine. I haven't receved ANY REQUESTS for any goddamned thing!!! I haven't received a phone call, an email, a letter, or a fucking smoke signal! WTH?!?!?
But let's back the truck up a little, the day after Thanksgiving I get pulled over for driving too fast in the fog. The guy takes my license, goes back to his car, makes me wait, and I don't know, I assume he checks my license and gives me a warning to slow down. He doesn't say a god damned thing about any tickets, any revoked licenses, any pending or missed court dates, nada!!!!! I roll away with no thought, but fuck you now I'm late for work, because MAYBE I was going five miles over the posted speed limit.
Now, I've got this fucking letter from the DMV without hearing a goddamn thing from the San Pedro court house regarding any fucking tickets! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?
That is some major ass bullshit! He has a year or something to file the ticket and then based on the date on that ticket I'm in trouble for not paying?! Even after I hauled my ass into the court house to take care of the stupid ticket, but his stupid, lazy, behind-the-paperwork ass hadn't filed the ticket a month after he gave it to me?!
I'm all for supporting public servants, but that is some bullshit! I took care of my game. I took care of my part of the deal and he failed to take care of his, but now I'M being penalized?!
OMG!! OMG!! SERIOUSLY?!
FUCK YOU, LAPD!
