I got stopped for speeding to night on the way home from work. When the cop asked me for licence, registration and insurance i reach over and open the glove box to find a mouse nest. Little basted chewed up all the papers. When i looked back at the cop he had a big smile on his face and started laughing. well that little mouse saved me a ticket I guess the cop figured it was enough I have to replace it. Hail the mouse. I was doing 130+ km (80 mph) in a 90 km (55 mph) Here thats all most a $400 fine

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Honest, officer. The mouse ate it.


But we know. You keep that mouse nest in there on purpose.

In all fairness the mouse got his way too so he didn't really loose either.

Here, if you're nice to the officer, he/she/it (sorry, couldn't resist) will write you for a ten and under. Costs around $177, but doesn't go on your record and doesn't affect your insurance. You can get a shit ton of them and all it costs you is the $177. I've had a bunch, including a bunch of nothing, let off with a warning stuff.
