What I have learned from reading these things is that you can not tell much from them. For all I know, Tegarden may not have been speeding or she was going 21 MPH instead of 20, and it is easier for her to just pay than be bothered losing time and money going to court. OR she could have been doing 50 or 60 at a school crossing , we do not know. Same with Ing, since his car was not being used after being vandalized twice, including all his signs and posters being ripped up, it makes sense he would not have a safety check, reg etc. till it was ready to be used. None of this stuff is a big deal other than it does show if you are poor the system can hurt you a lot more and specifically in this case, why is there such a big deal that this would be front page news two days a row in the paper? I bet if you looked up names you know in local politics you would be amazed at what you might find with traffic tickets. He is taking care of it, and he hardly got special treatment far from it!
