Sorry, it wasn't clear to me that you were not aware of the suspended license.

I still think that you can't complain about getting the initial fine, regardless of the size of the town where you broke the law. I also don't see how this is really connected with being poor.

If you're arguing that many speed limits are set to low I'm totally with you, but that's a separate question.

I'm not even arguing that they're too low, I'm arguing that they should not be used as a fund-raiser.

The particular section of highway I'm talking about is about a half-mile long, on a downhill grade, and changes down 10mph.

The cops sit in the middle and ticket people as they're decelerating. It's a racket, plain and simple.
