They bring them out to you like grocery pick-up?

Yeah our WM pharmacy has a couple of spots with signs up they are for pharmacy pick-up only. Pull in, call the number on the sign, they bring your meds out to you. Supposedly. I dunno, I haven't done it.

My guess is that it was Lawton. When I worked at the OSBI, I saw lots of cases where some communities set much higher fines then even the county or state did. Lawton was one of those communities.

I was actually going faster, but he was "nice" enough to drop it down to 9 over. (Construction zone)

Years ago, an OHP Trooper was in a class with me, and he said that the secret about those fines being doubled in a construction zone was that only the fine itself (which is often a minimal part of the money paid) is doubled.

The bigger issue is that some DAs and municipal courts have figured out that they can tap that revenue stream just like law enforcement, so most of what you're paying isn't the actual fine, it's all the associated fees that get tacked onto it. There was a move to squash that in Oklahoma a few years ago, but I don't know what happened to it. It's probably like the move to squash civil forfeiture--deader than dirt. I know a friend of my dad's was up in arms because his grandson got a $200 ticket for going 1mph over the limit, but that was a few years ago.

As the old saying goes, don't steal--the government hates competition.

Yep. I was right. The day was still young. :finger::finger::finger:​
