Highway Patrol

Corruption and GREED. It's all I have to say. Yes , I was speeding on the I-80, and admit that I indeed was driving 14 over the speed limit. The trooper issued me an absurdly large $235 ticket. (The generous trooper took a whooping $10 off the ticket because I was wearing my seat belt. Jeez, thanks so much for that break sir!) The trooper had to break the law several times to pull me over. First, he cut across 3 inbound lanes, then a VERY large grass median (at least 100-200 feet wide), cut across 2 more outbound lanes and do well over 120+ MPH, in order to pull me over and give, me, an "out of state'r" a ticket that he knows will not be contested in court because it would cost $500 in plane tickets alone just to get to court. ( If I was a Wyoming resident I can almost guarantee I would have been given a warning or a lesser ticket price; bullying at its finest, by Wyoming's finest) Wyoming is a broke, desperate, and desolate joke of a state and I will never travel though, nor spend my money in Wyoming again. How is it that our federal court systems allow a state to charge so much for such a petty offence? I do not understand how Wyoming is able to get away with this kind of greed. P.S. Due to both my infraction of the law and the absurd ticket price I am now on the verge of homelessness and unable to make my rent for the next 3 months. I just want to thank Wyoming and especially the trooper that pulled me over for making my life a living hell.
