"Making lemonade out of lemons."

Instead of paying a fine, after being cited by Carmel police while biking, a #MontereyCounty teen opted to do #CommunityService.

We appreciate the consciousness of court officials who allow transforming a finable citation into education and community service.

That is one of MANY #BicyclingMonterey projects—all done as a volunteer since 2009. For other projects, see https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations/donations-some-ways-your-money-can-help.

Yesterday's court date went just fine. Had to sit quietly for about two hours before I was called, but then it was over in less than ten minutes, with the charge I was so angry over being dismissed entirely (as it should have been from the get-go). I was too nervous to do anything besides sit there and wait for those first two hours, but turns out I could have been playing Story of Seasons the whole time and been no worse for wear for it 😅 Oh, well. If anyone has questions about what virtual traffic court is like, let me know, lol.

The Judicial Branch needs to be brought to some semblance of reason. From the Supreme Court to your local magistrates. They are quite ironically the most #lawless branch of our #government.
