It's Texas, they either hanged him or said fuck that hassle and moved on to hanging someone else 
Yeah, exactly.
But this kind of stuff happens everywhere. I mean, my wife got a ticket a couple of years ago for allegedly parking on a "building line". We did a search on it and found no record of such infraction anywhere. Come court day we show up, the judge asks her whether she wants to plead guilty or not and when asked to explain what the friggin building line is he tells my wife to leave the court. To this day we do not know how parking in a building line is a traffic infraction.
I tell you something, I was sitting all the way at the back and felt totally humiliated. He is lucky because the courthouse was full of cops... but if there ever is some type of anarchy in this friggin country the first thing I'll do is show up at that judge's house and hang his ass from the highest tree. But then again I'm sure I'd have to wait in line for that.
Likewise on a skying trip to Killington in Vermont. Driving down from the mountain, at the bottom of a 15% gradient hill, there is a friggin state cop pulling people over for speeding. I actually though he was bullshitting me when he told me the speed limit was 35 miles an hour! On a hill so steep your car alone, without having to use the engine, would go about 60 no problem. To make a long story short, the #### writes me a $ 215.00 ticket and puts the wrong license plates on the ticket. Took the day off, flew up to Rutland (close to Killington,) showed up in court, said "no" when asked if I was the owner of the car in question, the judge said "it doesn't matter, you have to pay" and I went home $600.00 poorer.
People tend to think that they actually stand a chance in court, but when it comes to the needy-greedy people do not win. The exceptions always make frontpage, which gives people the impresion they actually stand a chance.
We don't.
