Almost Got Arrested

[Sark]

Not to , but the similar reason I was pulled over was because my registration sticker was on a little lower than it should have been. My plate was not altered in any way. It was merely the placement of a sticker. I was not breaking any traffic laws, and yet the cop gave me unprovoked attitude. I WAS however, driving an older car with some rust on it in a fairly high-end neighborhood. My guess is that he was expecting something other than a routine traffic stop.

My ten year old is always making the same mistake, even though I beat his buttocks with a whippy cane - luckily hubby has very little to do with the child, and I can get away with it.   The educational system in Britain really is ruined, in my day we were made to eat chalk dust for mistakes like that, and it never did us any harm

Please JON it is "You probably would have got away scott free" that is such a distressing error for me to see.

I'm not going to take sides in this argument, as most viewpoints have already been covered. Nevertheless, since we're on the topic of correcting, shouldn't it be "You probably would have gotten away scott free?" Also, shouldn't there be some punctuation in there, too? Again, I'm not taking sides or looking for a subtle way to attack you; I just think that if you're going to correct someone's grammar, your correction should be grammatically correct. That's just my opinion.

[mazyyz]

Normally I would have verbally assaulted Smudger, but I've chosen to remain civil. I do have a child, and even though I know Smudger does not truly wish harm on him (because she is a parent herself), simply stating that to get her point across over something so trivial as harmlessly altering a license plate is not only vindictive but psychotic. Plus the thought of my child being hurt or moreover killed has left me speechless.

 

I will be truthful with you Smudger, I feel sorry for your child

[troutman]

Time to get back on topic. Tampering with any license plate is just plain foolish. If caught, you deserve what punishment is handed down.

[Mara]

OK everyone. . .if gotrush(?) were unfortunate/irresponsible/drunk/evil enough to run down a child (god forbid), it'd be fairly easy to pick his plates out of a lineup. Question mark or not.

 

Just trying to ease this thread back to civility, or some form thereof.
