Why not just steal like you did the Dreamgirls movie?

A great example you set for your daughter.

Not quite.
Most of the people they are calling on wouldn't know the difference between
a $1000.00 suit and a $100.00 suit.
Especially someone with violations like you evidently had.
IOW you are a very small fish.

Even worse.
As a professional you should know better.

Some people never learn to read.
You might be one of them.

So you didn't read the signs.
That's your problem.

Do you also complain to the highway patrol that because the 55 mph speed
limit signs go by so fast you can't read them and that's why you were going
90 mph?

Good for you.
I'm surprised they didn't cite you for not having enough air in your tires.

I am rarely on the receiving end, as you put it, but evidently you have,
mostly due to your own stupidity and BTW I don't doubt this happened, at
least some version of it, but you are your own worst enemy.
