Traffic Tickets are Inherently Sexist, thus unconstitutional

I've been thinking recently how unfairly traffic tickets are handed out. Women always have a far greater chance to flirt their way out of a ticket. This is a statistical fact, since 90% of traffic cops are men. This is totally outragous. We know women get out of traffic tickets all the time, even though some, like Tammy Fae Baker and Gaga Gabor handle it the wrong way occasionally. A while back a friend of mine was fishing for complements, lementing her small breasts, saying that she wasn't getting out of the percentage of traffic tickets that she thought she should. I don't buy this at all. She's highly skilled in this area, but somehow, I doubt that any of her techniques would work for me. What can we men do to even up this descrepency in traffic ticket issuence? Men, What works? Women, we recognize your expertise in this area - tell how we may be able to adapt your techniques.

I must be doing something wrong. I've never gotten out of a ticket and I'm pretty darned cute! LOL! Laughing Then again, I didn't have one of those 100 club and 500 club stickers on my car. (I don't know if this is the case in all cities, but in Houston people who donate either 100 dollars or 500 dollars to the police department fund raiser get a nice little sticker to put in their rear window. Those are the people who get out of tickets - and they don't even try to flirt!)

As far as figuring out a way for men to flirt their way out of a ticket, I'd suggest men stop applying to be traffic officers and let the women do it. That way men can flirt their way out of tickets to their heart's content while letting the women complain about the sexist traffic ticket system. Wink

If that doesn't work, try crying. Crying or Very sad Wink

I just avoid getting pulled over in the first place - saves time. Smile Besides... there was some study in Canada that found that people who got speeding tickets were less likely to die in an auto wreck in the next three months than people who didn't. It's not all bad. Smile

Curse my mouth. I can never seem to keep my thoughts to my self. Every time I get pulled over (glad it does not happen often) I say something to the officer that gets him or her pissed. Not my fault that every time they stopped me I am already angry. It is just how things work out for me.

Last time I was pulled over: it was for passing a red light. (The city bus next to me did the same thing but was ignored.) I was already angry that my room mate turned off my alarm clock making me late for work. The officer (a guy this time) was going to write me a warning. My mouth opened and I said,"Hurry up, I am missing ' Police Chases '!" The guy did not like that and gave me the full fine for the violation.
