Yes, in fact there was. See my previous comment.
This is the internet. You’re not going to last long if you start swinging the hammerhead whenever people crack jokes at a humorously worded post.
For real, how exactly did my comment detract from yours? The information is there if OP wishes to pursue that particular shark attorney.

Reply to Got a citation from going straight in a left turn lane, should I fight it? by NoCombination2321
It may be worth trying to fight it. If this counts as a moving violation (which I would guess it does), that impacts your safe driver insurance plan score which can result in your insurance rates getting jacked up for 5-6 years.
No clue if you'd get the ticket thrown out at a hearing, but it might be worth the effort to try.

I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. Can you show up where it is on google maps, and/or give us the street you were on, which street you were approaching, and from what direction?

Was there something wrong with my comment, which is what you replied to, or did you just feel the intense need to be an immature clown?

Welcome to the internet, dude.
No need to get so green in the gills.
If you don’t want people cracking jokes, then OP can word their post better.

Let's just hope you don't end up needing that kind of help. It isn't a joking matter when you do.

The times I've been in traffic court the number of people who get a citation totally voided is close to zero, but it's possible that there are other outcomes between pay/don't pay so if the full fine is burdensome to you it might not be entirely waste of time showing up.
Keep in mind it's not like Perry Mason, there may be like fifty other people there and you have about 20 seconds in front of the magistrate to plead your case.
You could try something like "Your honor, I was trying to obey traffic rules but due to the confusing nature of the unfamiliar intersection I made an error. I would respectfully request my citation be reduced to a warning" and you might get lucky assuming you're not a habitual offender. Sometimes they give you a reduced fine.

Microdosing has been the one thing that worked for my ptsd and depression after years of trying different SSRIs. I’m hoping one day it becomes accepted, legal, and more widespread.

He's not competing with Cumbies. That is not the same demographic.
>there’s a place in near me that has gluten-free menu items.
I hate to break it to you, but Cumbies has gluten free items too.

They are niche, and expensive- eg there’s a place in near me that has gluten-free menu items. This guys wants to go cheep. Unless he can beat Cumbies price or quality, he won’t do well.

Take it to court. 70% of the time if they think you took the trouble to fight it, you may not be guilty. Or, take the fine and the 6 years of insurance surcharges that will end up costing you hundreds. No need for a lawyer either. Be honest and tell them you made a mistake, (if they ask). Many times they will give you a not-guilty to save paying the cop overtime to testify, but most courts do not require the cop to be present (to save a buck) unless it goes before a judge.

Does she also work with cetaceans? Or just sharks?

You might also want to get some general advice on r/divorce if you haven't been there yet. A lot of people are in similar situations.

There's like 3 of those. They most certainly don't dominate anywhere down here.

You missed out on New Bedford by a couple years. Mirasols just opened a location on the waterfront. There's a Dunkin and Green Bean downtown but neither seem to do very well overall. Mirasols I'm sure are gouging them to death. Not sure you want to fight with the land of chippis? But it's worth a look!

Same thing happened to me when I lived in Malden. But Middlesex Superior Court is in Lowell and, yes, you have to go.
If you get selected they pay for lunch at least.

>Southeastern MA is an over saturated market. You’ll compete with: Dunks, Cumbies, HoneyDew, Starbucks, McDonalds and MaryLou’s.
There's tons of small shops that are thriving down here. They don't compete with the major brands at all.

I got a 2 ton Traine AC, a new 98% efficient 2 stage Traine furnace, a new gas water heater, a WH humidifier, whole house air cleaner, and a whole House dehumidifier for less than 20K installed. You better shop around.
