I got a damn ticket...

Mopardude, When I was in school, I used to get a lot of tickets in town. All under 55mph. Every time I went to court, I'd ask if I could give blood for part of the fine. Usually the judge cut the fine completely except Court Costs, which was $45-55. Not sure what its up to now, but probably close to $100 if not more. Its worth a shot. Also, when I was short on money, I'd go in twice a week, to give plasma. Check with your local hospital and see if/what they'd pay for that. If you find out, you could offer to give more blood then what your fine is before he rules on your case. That way, your plasma will be used in your local comunity most likely. Win/Win situation! And if the judge doesnt agree, at least you tried. You could always give plasma on your own and use the money to pay your fine. You might be surprised as to what they pay for plasma...
