You’ve heard of the double down, but what about the duodecuple down?
My University issued me a BS parking ticket a couple of weeks before graduation. I appealed, appeal was denied with no explanation. Fine was $20, no interest, no penalties. I ignored it. They refused to release my transcripts - oh well, that was 35 years ago now, haven't needed the transcripts yet. They did send letters to me for 10 years asking me to pay the $20 fine, I believe the postage alone amounted to over $20 by the time they gave up.
At my college, if there were any unpaid fines/fees, they held your diploma rather than just the transcripts.
Although as often as I’ve had to show my diploma, I’d guess withholding that would probably be about as effective as the transcripts, lol.
At this point, you should respond and ask for sworn testimony from the person who wrote the ticket.
Every job asks if I have a diploma, nobody has ever asked for proof.
the decouple from reality
In July 2016, Prescott was caught driving 64km/h in a 50km/h zone and was sent a ticket for it. However, he tried to claim he wasn’t driving the car, nor did he own it.
Sovcit for sure. They have those in Oz?
Yes, although this is NZ. But yeah, having it get out of control like that does definitely sound like sovereign citizenship shit.
I got confused for a moment, the Z in NZ made me think of the Z in Oz. I know better.
Sovcits are pretty much everywhere.
... is Aukland sort of like, eh, Florida, except for NZ?
