Got you beat. When I was in college, to the local PD a student sticker = $$$. My sophmore year, I got, fought in court and had to pay a ticket for 36 in a 35. 1 mph over the limit. The fine was something like $5 and "court fees" $155.

The whole town was nothing but one big racket. Local authorities (Judge, DA, city council etc) were all elected and knew very few of us students were registered to vote locally, so they used us to fill the city coffers. If they did to the locals what they did to us, they all be kicked to the curb in short order...

And for all or resident officers talking about writing warnings, where have you guys been the times I've been (deservedly) pulled over. I'm always polite and have all my info ready and waiting and not once have I ever been given a break.
