DON'T YOU THINK THE PRICE OF THIS TICKET IS A LIL' OUTRAGEOUS?

Okay, so I'm ALL for people paying their "debts to society" for any law they may break. However, don't you think f*cking $228 is a lil' MUCh for "failing to stop at a redlight?" And it's not like I even freakin' just ran the motherf*cker! I stopped. Sat there. I was talking to my girlfriend. I looked both ways. Then pulled out. No one was coming. Nothing. Not a F*CKING single person/cat/bug was hurt in the process. And the funniest thing is...I didn't even know I did it. I was paying no attention to the light. Just paying attention to what my gf was saying and to the fact that no one was coming towards me for miles in either direction. Now I would've been FINE w/ maybe $150 or so? But really?! $228 motherf*cking dollars!??! Isn't that a lil' too much?!

Now don't get me wrong people. I'm not saying I DIDN'T do it. I'm sure I did. Otherwise I wouldn't be staring at this stupid carbon copy of my ticket. But don't you think that's a lil' pricey given the circumstances? Esp. the day after freaking Christmas?
