I was talking about for speeding. At least around here, you have to be going 20+ over to get a higher speeding ticket then that. I wouldn't know about being disorderly.
Yeah, I know it would go to appeals, I was taking the argument to it's conclusion, past appeals etc to the big kahunas in the big old building in DC.
The point is, Sure, you can fight it, but you might also lose. And if you fight and lose, usually the consequences are worse than if you'd never fought. (Court fees easily double your average traffic ticket, and you could even go and plead guilty and still pay more)
That's not to say you should never fight, but I feel you should make your fight over something more worthwhile than the "injustice" of not being allowed pink hair at school.
It's a dress code. Following it does not make you a mindless automaton, it means you can spend your day subtly mocking your clueless teacher, or i dunno, learning something (even if it's only in the book you brought with you to school) but sitting in In school suspension over pink hair is not a productive use of anyones time.
And I'm not the only person who would have gotten a big fat "how could you be so stupid" from my parents instead of a "FIGHT THE MAN, BABY"
