Anyone In The Market To Buy A Pink House?

Could this be the end of the line for Las Vegas "ticket busting" law firms? Rumor has it that our new Chief Judge, T. Arthur Ritchie, Jr. Ann Zimmerman, will be raising the attorney traffic rates for Justice Court to be more in line with the (grab your ankles) Municipal Court rates. The rumor goes on to say that Judge Ritchie Zimmerman is also looking to make sure that everyone gets traffic school and/or points, whether or not they have an attorney.  It is additionally rumored that the Judge has voluntarily placed a governor on his her own vehicle, capping the speed at 35 mph, just to show how serious he she is about speeding. (OK, we made that last part up)

Apparently, Judge Ritchie Zimmerman isn't too keen on the idea of law firms in town making money off of speeders. We feel it is certainly a bold move ... one which will virtually assure that his her stint as Chief Judge will be a one-term deal. After all, for more than a few firms here in town, traffic tickets are their bread and butter, and we can't see how this move will win him her over with voters, of whom many take advantage of the fact that they can avoid points by using an attorney.

What say you, commenters? Is it fair that attorneys get special treatment when it comes to traffic fines? Is it too pretentious to use both a first initial and the surname suffix "Jr." in your name? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Edit: Judge Ritchie has nothing to do with Justice Court, the call is coming down from Judge Zimmerman. As the kids say: our bad. You may, however, continue to discuss the pretentiousness of Judge Ritchie's name, if you wish.
