…and then they sobered up and deleted all their shit talk.

He sounds young and thus inexperienced, therefore buys in to all the exaggerated fairytales of people beating all the tickets they get. Cut him some slack.

Are you incapable of reading? He never once said he was outside the law nor did he act like being ticketed was wrong. He was scared because it's his FIRST TICKET, which implies he's on the younger side, and getting a first ticket especially for speeding in another state can be very stressful to someone just starting out.

Stop being an e-badass. It tells people you're a miserable person and probably have much more problems than the person you're shitting on.

For real this is a lot of drama for your first ticket lol.

In my experience, if the MD cop was a State Trooper; State Troopers in most states tend to be all business and don't act like dicks if you're not acting like one, whereas local municipality police are the ones who have the chance of being total dicks without being given a reason.

Even if I agree with you on that (which I actually do) no one should expect to get paid if they go on strike. That’s the cost of striking. Management is not and should not be required to pay you and provide benefits when you don’t show up. I run a small business and I can’t imagine having to pay someone for not working.

My Son went to the school. We got in for free, whenever we wanted. I was sooooo tired of Hershey Park after 4 years, lol, but it's hard to think it costs 50.00 a day now, crazy! It's almost like everything gets more expensive over time ... Hmmm.

Do you have direct deposit or does it go on the debit card? It won’t be in your bank if it is set up to go on the debit card.

Just throwing some extra information your way...

Points are decided by PennDOT ultimately. Not by the officer. So if you lived in NJ and were doing the same in PA, it would be up to NJ DOT to actually assign the points, which they may not.

I've gotten the book thrown at me for some moving violations, but I've never been given any points.

81 in a 45 at 17, no seatbelt me or my brother. Officer could have taken my license on the spot, but made me call my mom so he could tell her I was speeding in her car and just gave me a fine.

PennDOT let me keep my license when I was 19 and got a DUI. I was actually sober, but stupid and let them search my car. My friends who were actually wasted hid there weed and pipes in my seats. Blood test showed weed in my system but no alcohol. 3 month mandatory suspension waived because I had nothing against me. $3,300 in fines tho, which I am sure they appreciated.

I've had maybe 3 or 4 other speeding tickets and 1 trespass with a motor vehicle and no points at all.

Last one I was going 112 in a 45 and my license was expired. Also I just renewed my plate and forgot to put the paperwork back in the car. 57 mph over which should be 10+ points automatic suspension, a hearing with PennDOT to deem if I am fit to drive, and a retake of the road test if so. My license ended up being suspended for 6 months, but that was how long it took me to come up with the $1,100 to pay the fine, so it was from the magistrate and I refused to do the PennDOT hearing because of covid. Turns out 6 months was longer than any suspension I could have had for what I did, so after I paid the fines and paid to re instate my license, they just sent me a new one.

I didn't even have to get a picture taken, which is why my old was expired because every single time I go they are packed like it's sale day at the DMV and I just refused to do it. Still no points, nothing ever said to my insurance either.

Point is don't sweat traffic tickets. It's just a money grab. Just like our stupid yearly inspections and emissions testing, (in some places). Pa doesn't care if you are safe and neither does NJ. They are just trying to bolster up the coffers. As long as you pay what they want your driving record will be fine.

I live in Schuylkill County and have senior parents in Schuylkill County and regularly drive them to Allentown and Bethlehem for specialists as I also have to do for myself. If your father doesn’t have any family nearby, don’t let him move here.

I didn’t say it was necessarily bad.

How is gentrified bad??

Call your state senator's local office. They can help help; worked for me.

There are 168 hours in a week. Working 50-80 hours a week is only part of that time. /s

Conservatives saying they don’t agree with empathy and compassion…

The amount of people addicted to drugs there is beyond normal. Meth, fentanyl, prescription, etc.

Nah. Kids in private religious schools shouldn't have to deal with this bigotry either. I'm an autistic queer woman, I went to private school with no choice, does that mean kids like me in private school deserve that?

So kids who are stuck in private school (by parents' choice) have to deal with that instead? As someone who went to private school their entire childhood, no thanks.

They’re aren’t just grading drones as you’re implying. The world-class research our country produces would grind to a halt without graduate students like these. The least our universities could do is pay them a living wage to cover cost of living in a major city.

Directly in Reading, the school district isn’t very good. The surrounding suburbs have pretty decent schools though.
