Honey Badger, I feel your frustration. Not to put words in your mouth, but I have been in your shoes and what upset me the most was how seemingly arbitrary the whole thing was. If I broke the law (changing lanes without signaling) then write me a ticket for that. If not, or if the officer wasn't sure, well then apologize for the mistake and let me go on about my day. Yes, I get the system is all about generating money, but maybe it's time for us to collectively ask for a new system.
