What do they say, absolute power corrupts absolutely?
I'm always like, "yes officer, no officer..." sign the paper, give it to the lawyer, he's the one paid to argue, I don't argue good.
Though, I haven't had many citations, maybe a half dozen in my entire life, so I haven't paid a lot of lawyers.
They say 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
I imagine if the police wanted to abuse their authority, like so many believe, they could make my life a living hell for a short while, why give them a reason?
If it takes points, pay a lawyer, if not, pay the fine, cost of doing business.
