Don’t be a bootlicker

LOL ok grandma

Never use off the record. They are scammers.

Lol what the fuck is this?

You go to court, you don’t rely on this convoluted bullshit

I like when they have that and street cars. Seems a bit redundant.

OP u/showeralarmed5903 don’t listen to this person trying to blame you 🙄 they’re clearly already bent over if they’re trusting a pig’s word over yours.

you fight every single ticket you get and if you don’t you’re just letting them walk all over you

First, document it all and get pictures. If you go to court print it all out. It shows you’re serious and not fucking around. More importantly it helps the magistrate understand your case.

Make those pigs work if they’re going to saddle their budget woes on you undeservedly

You go, do the magistrate step, and you appeal it again to force them into court and they likely never show up (note: Pandemic may allow the pigs to remote in to your court date, not sure but others stated that in this thread). You get the case dismissed if they don’t show up, or at least that’s how it was pre Covid. If they do show up and you put half an ounce of effort into it you’ll get the ticket reduced or waived usually.

This is how the legal system works. It’s not a justice system. You’re guilty until you put forth effort to prove innocence against some likely tub of lard overtime scammer / govt welfare milker cop because their word takes precedence over your presumed innocence until you fight it

Otherwise enjoy your thousands of dollars in increased insurance premium for 7 years

Good luck

Ps don’t waste money on a lawyer unless it is to your convenience. Generally not necessary for petty tickets like this

They’re right that the MBTA is upside down…

Metabolism slowing down is a myth, that’s just your lifestyle to blame

Mission accomplished

Uh, I'd better look in the manual...

This book must be out of date: I don't see "Prussia", "Siam", or "autogyro".

Too bad, looked nice.

If you're north of Boston, be on the lookout for Revelry Food Truck; they did a Mardi Gras event at Idle Hands in Malden on Saturday and were selling king cakes whole and by the slice

well that is a nice awning...

Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?

Heh heh... mule.

You need to go to brunch at Ledger in Salem- they win best of the northshore religiously- and we’ll deserved! Then head over to Notch brewing!

Closed for winter, but Nancy’s Air Field Cafe in Stow is awesome (alcohol license & good drinks). Also the Twisted Fork in cherry valley (just out of Worcester) which would be close to breweries and shopping. I’m a big fan of good diner foods so if that’s your thing Miss Worcester and Salt and Pepper too.

Worse than Athol

Not to mention the UFOs

This guy fights tickets.

But seriously, they're right. I've never once lost an appeal even if I was at fault for the citation. Like you said, most of the time it's reduced and usually to a violation that won't increase your insurance. It's always a NO until you ask or apologize in this case

Is no one concerned that whoever drew this future picture considered no safety for the people in the trolley car or duck boat looking thing in the bottom, right? Damn things taking a hard turn and tipping to the side with people out of their chairs.

A sky monorail in Orange was seriously ambitious thinking, especially considering the trains in Boston are exploding in current time.

They really had a thing for trains hanging from the tracks 100 feet in the air.

Anti gravity. We're full of it here in the future.

I notice that you aren’t answering the question. Were you going 52 in a 35? Many streets in Brookline are 35 when they out to be way less, like 20. I ride a bike in Brookline. My kid walks on the narrow sidewalks along the streets posted 35. So, I hope that your weren’t going 52 in a 35.
