Your Opinion is Requested on a Court Case.
From FreeKeene.com: "In Keene district Court today Mike Barskey of Derry had a trial related to a speeding ticket given by Swanzey Police. Judge Burke found Barskey guilty and imposed a $200 fine of which Mike stated he will not pay. Judge Burke gave Mike 30 days to pay the fine."
What say you of this court case? Is Mr. Barskey wrong because he should be following the law because, well, it's the law? Is his decorum reprehensible therefore he's deserving of punishment? Or, are speeding laws ridiculous because it's a victimless crime? Is a $200 fine appropriate for speeding? Do you think it's fair courts can add a penalty to a penalty?
