fuckin' Noo Joisey

To whom it may concern:

Enclosed please find my check for payment of $54 for my jaywalking ticket (which ticket is also enclosed). I do, however, categorically refuse to pay the $10 additional fine imposed by the "failure to appear" notice. The reason for my refusal is that this fine appears to be contingent on failure to appear at a court date, listed as November 15th, which I was not notified of. You will see that there is no court date listed on the ticket; and when I saw this upon receipt of the ticket & phoned the Court to ask when my court date was, so that I knew the date by which I needed to pay, I was told that no court date was assigned. And considering I have had the actual ticket in my possession for less than two weeks, this additional fine is both outrageous and utterly unreasonable. (I could say the same about ranking jaywalking an equal offense to driving an unregistered vehicle, but the law is the law, and this is not the place to dispute the matter, I know.)

I hope this resolves the matter. If there is anything further required of me, please contact me at XXX-YYY-ZZZZ.

Sincerely,

me.

That would be a laugh and a half... *sigh* i wonder if it would be worth it to let them try to arrest you for jaywalking. Just to see what the judge would say.

My appetite for chaos is cheering me on to that choice, but the thing is, I just *know* the arrest would happen at Worst Possible Moment.
