Playing With / The Trouble with Tickets

• Basic Trope: A character receives a ticket for a relatively minor traffic violation, and rather than just paying the fine, decides to fight it in traffic court.
• Straight: Bob gets pulled over by Officer O'Hara for speeding, and gets a $100 fine. Rather than just paying the fine, he takes it to traffic court.
• Exaggerated:
  • Bob hires a lawyer and attempts an Insanity Defense. Rather than being charged more, or, you know, being sent to a mental institution, all charges are dropped.
  • Bob chooses to represent himself.
• Downplayed: The fine was a couple thousand dollars and Bob decides to take his chances in traffic court rather than swallow the fine.
• Justified:
  • Bob has reason to believe he was ticketed unfairly, such as by racial profiling.
  • Bob is sure that he was going the speed limit (or at least not so far above or below it that it would really be worth a ticket).
  • Bob is trying to expose a flaw in the way the tickets are calculated.
  • Bob is fighting an unjust law and equally unjust enforcer, because it takes a special kind of Lawful Stupid (or lawful but evil) cop to ticket Bob over allegedly scaring off horses with his engine noise even if there are no horses anywhere in the state.
• Inverted:
  • Bob is the one who writes Officer O'Hara a ticket.
  • Bob is subpoenaed or arrested by the court because he hasn't paid the ticket in a timely manner.
  • The district attorney refuses to plea bargain and accept mere monetary fines — he wants Bob jailed despite Bob being willing to pay up.
  • Mayor Bob has a constant headache about those who work for the many embassies hosted in his city and their pervasive and relatively petty use of Diplomatic Impunity to not pay parking and other bad-driving-behavior tickets.
• Subverted:
  • Bob pays the fine this time.
  • The traffic violation Bob is charged with is something serious, such as DUI. He isn't even levied a fine, he is told to appear in court, or even hauled off to jail.
• Double Subverted: But next time, he decides to fight it.
  • Bob did have a glass or two of wine at a party, but he wasn't drunk. He tries to convince the judge and jury that he wasn't legally drunk.
• Parodied: Bob acts as the judge, jury, lawyer, and defendant all at once. Bizarrely enough, he still has to pay the fine.
• Zig-Zagged: ???
• Averted: Bob doesn't drive. Perhaps cars (or even horse-drawn carriages) don't exist in this setting.
• Enforced: ???
• Lampshaded: "Your Honor, the word 'speeding' gets thrown around so much these days..."
• Invoked: Bob thinks he was unfairly ticketed.
• Exploited: An Ambulance Chaser attorney also conveniently specializes in these types of cases as well.
• Defied:
  • Bob pays the fine.
  • Bob always takes public transportation.
• Discussed: "Bob, for goodness' sake just pay the ticket — you're just making an ass of yourself on public record."
• Conversed: "Wouldn't it be easier for Bob to just pay the damned fine? It's a speeding ticket for Christ's sake!"
