Hey guys, I'm getting a bit sick of these off topic arguments. By all means argue away if your reasoning is of any technical relevance though :)

It seems that the legal profession is having this problem at the moment in many respects. Well your all wrong on my occupation. I am not a police officer, ex-police, ranger, parking inspector, or anything to do with handing out fines to people. I have not ever been busted for parking incorrectly, and hence have not needed to get out of parking fines. I have been done for speeding twice in over 10 years, both 1 point and $100 (5-11km/h over for memory), and currently have no demerits points against me. You will find that if you follow the rules then things run alot easier for all concerned. If you choose to dis-obey the rules, then you should be fined for it. This is my view. If you choose to follow this then i would be much appreciated, but if you dont then i hope that the long arm of the law catches up with you. mark krawczuk writes: > hey punk, whats your problem? where not talking about axe murderes etc > here , just a parking fine. > > sounds like your a copper or ex, or you gotbusted and couldnt get out of > it. > > > mark k > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chris Simpson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 12:59 AM > Subject: Re: Draft 1 was: Parking Fine - nature strip > > > > > > Julian, > > > > Take the following with a grain of salt! > > > > I have no sympathy for people like yourself.
