when i was 19 and on my first busa i wrote a particularly nasty letter regarding a speeding fine i got when i was picked out of a line of cars infront and behind me for speeding and then was on the side of the road for an hour while the highway patrol man went over my bike and license history etc etc etc for a <15kph above the speed limit offence. I stated facts about harrassment due to age and lifestyle choice(riding a bike) and how none of the cars around me even the ones that had over taken me and where travelling faster where pulled over and how that hour on the side of the road ment i was subjected to riding home in the dark and cold of a canberra winter blah blah blah. about 6 weeks after sending the letter i recieved a letter of appology for the harrasment with a late notice for the fine i then responded to there letter with a copy of there letter asking if that was admission of guilt regarding police harrassement and heard nothing more of it and i thought WOOHOOO i beat the bastards...........until they threatend to cancel my license and rego they did apparently reprimand the officer but i doubt it and i still had to pay the fine
