When Brian McCrary got a speeding ticket, he didn’t just complain about it. He ended up buying the police web site. It seems He visited the site and saw the domain was about to expire.
Sensing an opportunity, Brian bought the domain after it expired because the police failed to stay on top of it. Maybe if they weren’t spending so much time setting up speed traps in the town of about 1,500 people.
Apparently this speeding camera site was bringing in about $250,000 per month.
Speeding tickets are a controversial topic.
Some are well-deserved and punish reckless people who endanger the lives of others.
Some are issued to raise money – plain and simple. These speed traps are specifically set up to entrap motorists and collect fines.
Then there are so many debatable speeding tickets where a reasonable person can agree or disagree on whether the citation should have been issued.
In many cases, speeding tickets are flat-out wrong; issued to the wrong driver or in the wrong circumstance.
That’s why we have a court system, and why every American has the right to defend themselves and fight their speeding ticket.
This blog will attempt to report on speeding tickets, the art and science of fighting speeding tickets in court, and sometimes the funny and human side of this issue.
