What a waste of cop time to pull you over to the roadside for a 10 minute stop for minor violations.

OT but back in the day of the 55 mph speed limit....Montana interpeted the law a bit differently (to maintain federal highway money a state had to enfore a 55 mile limit)..... the ticket was for "Failure to conserve Energy" The Fine was $5, payable on the spot. No points against license, no insurance hit. I remember reading it cost abour $15 to issue the ticket so each ticket was $10 net loss...but Federal highwary grants were in the millions.
