So about 3 months ago I got a speeding ticket for going 80 in a 45. At the time I had mono and a severe throat infection. I was on my way to the hospital when I got pulled over.

I was having a very hard time breathing and fainted several times earlier in the day, The infection continued to get worse so I left for the hospital. I was given an antibiotic shot, blood work, and prescribed two types of antibiotics, pain killers, steriods, and a liquid medicine.

When I got pulled over there were about 5 cop cars setup to catch speeders.. it was obvious, they were not hiding, however, i did not slow down.. why? because I could hardly breathe and needed immediat medical attention. When the officer asks me for my licence and registration I told him (sort of, could hardly talk) that I can hardly breathe and need medical attention. He told me "ok" "pull up here" so I pull up there, and he takes my licence and registration, 5 minutes later, comes back, gives me a ticket and tells me not to speed. Meenwhile as I look in my rear view mirror several cops are standing around laughing it up..

So.. today I went to court and explained the situation to the judge.. the judge said "okay, im giving you a $150 fine and two points" and that was it...

Prior to my hearing, there were about 15-20 others before me. ALL with traffic violations. There were 2 spanish people who ran red lights, both got off scott free. There was another spanish women who had a suspended licence, was going 25MPH over, and had no registration... got off scott free. A black man had expired tags and was speeding 30MPH over the speed limit, got off scott free. Lastly there was an indian lady who was speeding 25MPH over the speed limit, she claimed "I did no realize the speed was so slow".. she, of course, got off scott free.

So much for the Maryland judicial system.. fuckers
