This morning I had my first court date about my traffic ticket. I found out it is considered a moving violation. It carries 4 points on my driving record and 2 points on my insurance record. This is only 1 point below the highest rated moving violations, which include passing a stopped school bus and speeding in excess of 20+ mph over the speed limit.
So I get to court and there are about 100 other people there for traffic court. This DA stands up and says that we can either try to get driving school, try to get it reduced to "Improper Equipment" or get a court date. He also says that only about 3 [Read More]
This is the ground breaking post on my new website. I will be using this website mainly to keep track of different parts of my life(work included). I do a lot of programming and server development so I will be adding a projects section soon. I will post walkthoughs and code snippets in that section once I get it going.
I have traffic court coming up on Friday(August 26th). In July, I received a ticket for "Driving the wrong way on a divided lane highway" G.S. 20-146(3). I was making a left hand turn from the left turn lane, and I turned into the second entrance to a parking lot instead of the [Read More]
Today was my court date for the ticket I received on July 17, 2005 for "Driving the wrong way on a divided lane highway" which is known as G.S. 20-146 in North Carolina.
I got the ticket making a left hand turn into a parking lot after getting a little lost. I will upload pictures of the intersection later.
At my first court appearance(where you just tell a DA what you plan to do about the ticket) I told them I wanted to dispute it. The DA told me to be in court today at 8:30am sharp.
The judge didn't show up until 9:30am. They call roll, and out of a 160 cases, only 4 plead not guilty(me being [Read More]
Today is a day that I thank the powers that be that I am not a Georgian. I thank the powers that be that my fellow North Carolina citizens didn't elect a lady to (mis)represent me in the federal government by trying to pass laws like HR 3998 - African-American Farmer Relief and Anti-Discrimination Act, HR 4209 - To Temporarily Deny Federal assistance to the City of Gretna Police or HR 4210 - Tupac Amaru Shakur Records Collection [Read More]
According to the highest political powers of what most would deem the most powerful nation on Earth had decided that it is alright for people to break our laws. No, they have not decided that it is alright, they have decided that they will actually start rewarding those that have broken our laws.
The best way that I can describe what is happening in our country is to repeat the scenario that Sean Hannity and Neal Boortz are using. Let?s say that you are an average American citizen. You pay taxes, own a home, and have been working [Read More]
Over the past couple months I have boarded planes through TSA "secured" airports over a dozen times. These secured airports are guarded by some of USA's finest underachievers. They are trained, and have honed the skills, to deter travels from boarding planes in under an hour, with dangerous factory sealed beverages, and without having to remove at least 3 articles of clothing.
They idioticly force you to remove laptops from their [Read More]
I just received my state vehicle tax bill in the mail. I've can't for the life of my understand how it can not be double taxation to issue a state property tax on an item that I have already paid sales tax on, and pay the yearly "safety inspection"? tax.
Double taxation as explained on wikipedia.org is "Double taxation is a situation in which two or more taxes may need to be paid for the same asset, financial transaction and arises due to overlap between different countries' tax laws and jurisdictions."?
So if I am [Read More]
Mr. Speaker, we should understand that decimating the protections that our Constitution provides us against the government is far more dangerous to the future of this country than whatever external threats may exist. We can protect this country without violating the Constitution and I urge my colleagues to reconsider their support for this measure.
