Grrrrrrr!!!!!

SO.... I just got back from downtown SLC and I'm kinda mad.  As I was driving there to go to the church history museum with our play group I get pulled over by a cop.  "What seems to be the problem officer?"  I guess I put my license plate with the registration decals on the front license plate instead of the back plate.  Dumb me.  Mind you it has been this way since last July... almost 9 months now.  He was cool and said to just change it when I got home.  PHew!!!  So I park on the street at a meter and put my money in and go to the museum.  Come back with 1 minute to spare on the meter and what do I find on my windshield but a TICKET!!!  I'm mad cuz I know I have time on my meter still.  I read it and its for the idiotic decal on the front license again!!!  $30 and the other guy basically told me I was okay.  I'm so mad.  So I called to dispute it and the guy says its not in the system yet and I have to call back tomorrow of Friday.  Needless to say that I changed the plates as soon as I got home... but I'm so so so annoyed that I had it like that for 9 months and no big deal... and then I got in trouble twice in one hour for it in downtown SLC.  Apparently I'm the biggest crime in the entire state that this is all their policemen have to do!
