Principles?

What would you have done if a trooper pulled you over while you were hooking the toad back up, and gave you a ticket for scamming the toll booth?

Just curious...what "law" exactly do you think was broken...???? Cheating the government out of $5 that they were trying to cheat me out of?..:h....perhaps..but I checked California law books and found nothing relating to "scamming the toll booth"....just sayin....:W....Dennis

Careful now, I worked with a guy who the troopers were going to arrest if they caught him picking up pop cans in rest areas on the NYS Thruway. The troopers told him that the cans were the property of the Thruway Authority and he was stealing them. No kidding!! He took a break at the rest area and was picking up the cans for his church. It came to a end very quickly with the threat of arrest. It all depends on the toll road and who operates it. The NYS Thruway is not operated by the New York State Government, but is operated by the NYS Thruway Authority, a separate entity. But in reality, it is not separate. But it does have its own laws and contracts with the NY State Police to enforce them. Had a friend who retired from the state police who said that he was nothing but a revenue collector for the governor.
