Global News:
A Manitoba driver tried to trash their speeding ticket in front of the RCMP officer who gave it to them – and then was promptly fined for littering.
The driver was then issued a $174 ticket for littering. No word on whether that ticket went out the window, too.
I want to know what made this guy think he wasn’t going to get another ticket when he tossed the first one out the window?
Eventually he’d find out that throwing out a ticket doesn’t mean you get out of paying it.
It means you have to pay it, plus penalties for not paying it on time, and possibly even a bench warrant.
For some reason, I’m reminded of the Fyre Festival documentary I saw on Netflix only last night.
Justice happens—occasionally!
One of my brother’s high school friends got a ticket for speeding through a school zone (it was his school, even: Aldergrove Secondary School, though I forget what they renamed it to to avoid ASS). When released, he sped off… and got busted by a policeman watching the other end of the school zone.
Frustrated, he turned a corner quickly and tore up and threw out both tickets. He was still being watched by the cop, and he ended up with a ticket for littering, too.
It definitely happens.
