[QUOTE="Epsilon, post: 1670802, member: 186921"] It’s kind of like backpacking and taking trains through former Soviet countries. At some point you’re going to get nailed with some bogus fine for some arbitrary rule in a country run by an authoritarian and/or beaurocratically nightmarish regime. On one hand, you’re thinking this is total BS. On the other hand, you’re just glad they picked a number just small enough to be a nuisance rather than truly painful. And that’s intentional too, because if they hit you too hard then you complain. But the difference is that at least you know that the people issuing under the table fines are doing so just to put food in the table, whereas this has no meaning or purpose whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
