I got a ticket for drinking on the beach yesterday.
The cop gave me a summons to go to court. Really?! For having a beer under a shady tree on the beach. Isn't the court date summons overkill? Seems to me that the courts could be doing this a little differently, say, by allowing me to mail in a fine. I mean, the cop caught me red-handed. I'm not going to lie, or cry, or protest to the judge, so it doesn't make sense for me to have to go to the courthouse.
Anybody have any advice or experience with this?
