later that evening…
After having the not so great day when I lost my wallet, I headed down to Sean’s house to work on a set I had to build for a photo shoot. Apparently I rolled through a stop sign in my neighborhood and an unmarked or off duty cop saw it. Since I was in a large white box truck with no license plates he tailed me and called backup – unbeknownst to me. By the time someone hit the blues there were two more cruisers for a total of five cops waiting for me.
“License and registration and proof of insurance” he asked me.
“I don’t have any of that. I lost my wallet today.”
“Step out of the vehicle.”
It was night and they had the spot light on my truck so I couldn’t see in my rear view mirrors. When I stepped out that’s when I noticed all the cops on the sidewalk waiting for me. I stood a lot taller than all of them, with my long hair and growing-back-in-beard. I was pissed off still. Again. More importantly, I was ready for a beating.
If you noticed the report above, that was from last week when I got pulled over. In the same truck for the same thing. Slow learner. Rolled a stop sign, no plates, no insurance. So I’m checking the mailbox every day so I can get a second thousand dollar fine this month.
I didn’t catch that beating. I told them I lost my wallet. I told them I have insurance. i told them the plates were in the cab but I needed a wrench to put them on. After a while they let me go. The night got better from there because my good pal Sean helped me get the set walls built and everyone lived happily ever after.
Can we get a breakdown on what portions of your citation cost how much in fines? A thousand bucks is an astronomical citation. Something that big should be itemized.

it was driving without insurance, running a stop sign, no plates on the vehicle or no license. He dropped one charge, I forgot which.
