[b]What's your time worth?[/b]

I have had oodles of tickets in my younger and dumber era, and I have never tried to dodge the bullet by going to court, but I had one speeding ticket that was truely crap.  The officer wrote a court appearance ticket, no option to pay fine directly.  I went to my court date, the judge asked for my plea, I said "not guilty".  Her reply was "your hearing is scheduled for ....".  In Saskatchewan, the court date on your ticket is only the beginning of the time they intend to waste for you, if you choose to play the game.  So, at that point, I simply and respectfully stated that I didn't have endless time to deal with this, so I guess I'll change my plea to guilty.  Now, that really, really didn't dazzle her.  She assessed her fine, and I paid on my way out.  The ticket cost $90 and an hour of my time.  If I would have persued the "not guilty" plea, I would have spent at least one more day diddeling around with our legal system, and very likely paid the same fine...Fight the battles worth fighting.  If your guilty, pay the price.
