Rant about tickets and the police department in general.

My mother called me today regarding 2 postcards that she received in the mail. One dated the 23rd of August and the other dated the 24th of August. They both pertained to a ticket that I received in May. I had set up a payment plan on this ticket so I would only have to make $100 payments every month for about 4 months. The payment was due the 20th of August. It was processed the 21st of August. You know what that allows the courts/police force to do? Issue a warrant out for my arrest because the payment was 1 day late. Oh, but that's not even the best part. The BEST part is that they can tack on another $85 to my ticket to get the warrant dropped OR I can pay the rest of my ticket in full. All depending on if I would rather pay $265 now, or $350 over the course of 3 months. All of this because it took 1 day of processing.
This is Las Vegas, and they have nothing better to do than worry about a traffic violation? Don't you have some rapists to pick up, or some gun-toting people to taze?
I want to take a big pile of dog poop, light it on fire, and set it on the court steps one Monday morning. However, I'm classier than that and will just pay my ticket in full. Take that.
