This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If it’s a traffic violation you have a good chance of the cop no showing to court.

And if it's below $1000, people often represent themselves because everyone knows lawyers are too expensive to justify it.

Yup, and most tickets in my area are like $100-150, assuming it's just speeding and not insanely fast (i.e. <20mph over, most cops will cut it to 10 over on a first violation).
