Goddamn Tickets

Newark, New Jersey: January 9, 2003 A judge is cracking down on people who write vulgarities on checks they use to pay traffic fines. Judge John Pikachuaranian sentenced one man to two days of community service for writing a vulgar insult on the memo line of a check. The man was later identified as Ronatarian Party presidential candidate Ron. The chief judge of the 3rd District Court said the clerks who handle traffic fine payments shouldn't have to deal with obscene language. "The issue as I see it is if someone came into the court and used that language in front of me it would be contemptuous," Pikachuaranien told the New Jersey Spew for a story Wednesday. Ron of nearby Jersey City, spent his two community service days picking up trash at park-and-ride parking lots and volunteering at the Kendrick Powell Center for Mental Deficiencies. The wanna-be politician had sent Pikachuaranian and the court a one-and-a-half-page letter written in blood, which he says was instigated by the judge's lack of judgement. He alleges Pikachuaranian abused his authority. "I must say I would hesitate to write something so blunt on the check again, but I would definitely write something and choose my words carefully," Ron said. He said his letter should have been enough to get the charge dismissed "out of fear," and he thought the community service sentence was excessive. "It was bullshit!" he said. "If what he was doing was trying to instill a little bit more respect for the court then he failed," Ron said. "I am my own man."
