But do you realize that in the US, having interaction with the law is much worse than in Europe?
How do you figure that? In Europe, none of what's described in the article would be happening because you have no right to contest a ticket over there...
Your options are to either pay up or go to jail.
What the heck are you talking about? Here in Germany you can contest a ticket like every other administrative act (and by the way - you don't go to
jail for driving too fast here in Germany, you just pay a fine, get some "points" at a central register, might receive a temporary suspension on your
drivers licence [1-3 month] - thats it) I guess it is not that much different in all the other EU states...
