  1. It said pay or appear in court, so just appear in court.

  2. Inflation been hitting harder in Georgia I guess

  3. If the punishment for a crime is money, it's only a punishment for those without funds.

    Top %ers would be ok with paying this without putting effort towards finding out the issue because it's nothing to them…when it's a life time for most… smh

  4. Just bring your payment to the police department in pennies 😂

  5. Placeholder…sure. Except what if you are sick, in traffic, etc and you can't make it to your court date? Then you owe the money. Not right.

  6. A billion cajillion for j walking legend has it……🤪

  7. Brings a whole new meaning of…

    You pay what you can afford.😅😅

  8. they could probably just knock off for the rest of the day with those kinda fines

  9. I really hope that he has a great lawyer

  10. I know inflation is out of control, but it shouldn’t transfer over to speeding tickets.

  11. Take it
    Enjoy it
    This is capitalism in action
    Pay up or else 😂😂

  12. Ah, an IT problem. Like how Nelnet puts everyone in covid deferment into the Veteran label or something

  13. Yes, it's bull crap. But I'm more concerned with the condition of Mr. Patel's bookshelf.

  14. The justice system is super dumb.

  15. Great case Fo this attorney with an empty bookcase

  16. I would’ve told them well sir or mam you better catch me in traffic 😂 cuz y’all got me BENT

  17. Georgia police have has always ignored the 8th…

  18. “No, sir that’s the correct amount…..Pay the amount due…..or show up at 130pm on the 21st…”

    Alright m’am……I’ll be there at 130🧐🤔🫠

  19. 5000 i understand but 1.4 million no that’s stupid

  20. My speeder ticket was a extra 400 on top of the 400
    A total eight hundred dollars for going over 85 in a 70 zone
    It was a seeding trap since it went down from 75 to 70 for a short period

  21. I got a super speeding ticket here in Georgia n it was only $400. That’s crazy

  22. Thanks for wasting 3 minutes of our lives to conclude you don't have the explanation. Please do NOT waste space on Alphabet's servers mext time.

  23. Somebody at the top is scamming🤔

  24. Lol Goodluck getting the money LOLOLOL

  25. So nobody ever though of just eliminating the payment option on these particular tickets? 😂😂

  26. They all need to be fired and become homeless if they are doing this to people

  27. It’s because he’s white

  28. This cracks me up! Bet he never speeds again!

  29. The police are currently investigating themselves update the police have found themselves not guilty of any wrong doing

  30. Even if that statement was true its still nearly half a million less than the actual ticket he got lol. This is madness.

  31. They need to have an uprising in Georgia. Between the voter fraud claims and now this where the government is forcing a man to pay 1.4 million dollars for a speeding ticket, Georgoas government is lost and needs to be replaced. Period. I wish my fellow Georgian brothers well in their future endeavor to uphold justice and restore Geprgia to the Republic it should be.

  32. I know what happened here, the officer tought the driver was jeff bezos

  33. NOTE TO SELF: Never drive through Georgia again 😏

  34. Simple fix to this is tell "them" to come enforce it, and then match the level of aggression with a more assertive level of defense.

    You do not fight evil with tolerance and understanding.

  35. Jesus, I'd just shoot myself. I've missed a ticket and paid an extra hundred but a MILLION???

  36. I guess they really wanted to get this guy's attention. Mission accomplished!!!

  37. Biden needs money to send to Ukraine
