in a car with lights flashing (but no siren). my first reaction was, "oh, good, he has his lights on, he won't bust me for walking across the street because he obviously has somewhere important to be."

the officer actully told me the ticket would be around $20 when i asked him!

I think the show Irvine PD would consist entirely of episodes like the one you just described. Very exciting. Set to a Lisa Loeb song. Another critical episode would have Officer Somethingsomething pull over three kids in a row for not wearing helmets.

What's the world coming to these days?

haha.
i got the ticket reduced to $52 after i plead guilty, which is still pretty shitty. the judge said he reduces everyone's fines as much as he can unless he can't, so if you get a traffic violation, go to the HB courthouse on Jamboree. when i went up there he said, "this is an example of what happens in a city with no crime. with 250 officers who have nothing to do, you get tickets for walking across the street. i try not to drive through irvine if i can avoid it."

i actually saw you walking across the street a day or two ago. you were at the crosswalk, though, and right in front of my car. i waved, but you were on the phone.
