went to court today to contest my speeding ticket that was wrongfully imposed on me a few weeks back. the officer claimed that i was going 25 miles over the speeding limit which was a lie plus she didn’t have a radar gun… anyways, i get to court and immediately they send me into the prosecutors office for a “bargain.” the prosecutor basically said you could buy your way out of a ticket and gave me a few options. its a scam and if i had all the time in the world i would be fighting this case on a higher level BUT i don’t so i took the deal. here comes the funny part. so now i’m in the court room for the hearing/judgment and the guy in front of me goes up to the stand wearing baggy jeans and a hoodie. he is charged with possession of cocaine and the judge asked him how he pleads. this was his reply verbatim, “yeah i had cocaine on me but i wudn’t gonna use it.” i almost cried of laughter and still had tears in my eyes when i went up for my hearing…

everyone in the room was on edge and understandably so… i should figure out a way to incorporate our calming teas into all court rooms across the country…
