    Some scumbags do that in China. If the driver can photograph another driver breaking traffic laws, he gets a $50.00 reward when he submits the photo to the police.
    What the driver does is pull up beside another driver and act like he doesn't see him, then pull into his lane and force him onto the shoulder of the road. Then his camera records it as if the other driver is passing on the shoulder. The driver pulling the stunt get a $50.00 reward and the other poor sucker that was forced onto the shoulder gets a $500.00 fine for driving and passing on the shoulder of the road.

    As a driver you are told, "Just do as you're told, follow instructions, or the famous you are not paid to think !".

    This will happen until something goes wrong, then it's "What in the world were you thinking?".

    This whole thread is just... IDK. I mean, how gross that we will pay people for doing someone else's job? How annoying that you feel like you're under a microscope? Why is anyone ever telling someone they aren't paid to THINK?!?! Heck yeah the people I work with are paid to think!!! This isn't some mindless job. Good gravy!

    You want to see something that will really make you sick? These homeowners in California violated some building code, paid the fines and corrected it. Then get handed a bill for their own prosecution. To the tune of $26k. Lots of videos with examples of small issues the local government hires attorneys to enforce the law and do the collection and bills the homeowner for all of it. Unreal.

    It's great how people want to break the law when it's inconvenient for them but want others prosecuted to the fullest extent

    I have no issue with the prosecution. I have a huge issue with having to pay for your own prosecution. Can I at least hire a lawyer of my choice? Seeing as I will be the one paying for it I don't think that's an inappropriate request in the least.

    You know with as many ex felons and "unstables" there are in trucking it's surprising that none of these idiots haven't been beaten to death yet.

    There was a time, that I remember, People minded their own business. If not You risked paying the consequences. It must not be taught much anymore.
