Agreed. Unfortunately this is what happens when you attach dollar amounts to key performance indicators for effectiveness with policing. Fines = revenue for government so they try where they can. It’s why carpool lanes are so heavily policed here. The base fine rate is higher.
The US has had a long history of restricting who gets to vote. Originally it was only white land owning males, then it has gradually progressed into what it is today. Some states are cool with who gets to vote, others are still upset there are certain groups of people who get to vote who they wish didn’t (and actively work towards restricting or removing their rights), so those upset states constantly create as many barriers as possible to disenfranchise groups of voters they don’t like. If you’d like to see how awful it has been before, I suggest reading about Jim Crow laws.
If it was just a traffic ticket you can hire a traffic lawyer for fairly cheap if you don’t want to go to court or would like the comfort of someone there for you who does this often. In CA, I’ve seen this typically cost around $50 for handling a traffic ticket. They can get most tickets dismissed or at the very least the fine reduced. If a cop no shows it gets dismissed.
Best to get it renewed asap though as previous commenters suggested, then it becomes a non-issue, so a trip to the DMV might be a good idea. I’d head your DMV website since the address varies depending on the state you’re in. Renewing a REAL ID may require you take a short refresher course and provide two documents that prove residency, one that proves identity (US Passport, previous license, SSA card, etc) they’ll tell you what you need on there though.
Depends on the state of the banana I suppose. I used to do the bunch end but it’d always end up mushing it a bit. I find just apply some pressure with a thumbnail and peeling it had better results. I remember being taught that way years back and it’s worked sense. The bunch end might easily come off if it’s ripened a bit I suppose.
I also thought it was strange. Sounds like the much easier part?
Open a banana from the seed end and not the bunch end. It’s much easier.
So Ubisoft just sells malware now without the game wrapper. Great.
