I wasn't doing anything reckless, unless driving with one headlight in a well-lit area is what passes for daredevilish activity these days. Anyway, the end result of the encounter was that I was given a $110 ticket with the condition that if I had the bulb replaced within 72 hours, I could have the ticket cancelled. Of course, that ticket is exactly $110 more than I have at the moment, so I had the light changed and went down to the police station to have them cancel the ticket. I walk in and before I even begin to explain my situation, before any words are exchanged, the desk cop takes the ticket from me and goes into the back. He returns with the ticket's file, stamps "Cancelled" on both of them and tells me to have a good day. Didn't even bother with any proof that I'd actually had my light changed. In fact, I'm not sure he even bothered to look at the ticket. Next time I get a ticket, I'm definitely going down to the police station to see if they'll rubber stamp it just like that. While I'm at it, maybe I'll try passing my Visa bill across that desk. Now that's a piece of paper I could use one of those stamps on.
