Ask not what your police officer can do for you...

On a road I travel often, on the way home from gym, a light pulls me off the road.

Officer: You hit me.
Me: Sorry, I don't understand?
O: You hit me.
T: Sorry Officer, I don't understand, I saw you clearly and pulled over immediately.
O: You didn't stop at the robot, which means you hit me.
T: Really, sorry officer, I thought I did stop, it is a four way intersection.
O: No, you hit me, senior patrol officer, by not stopping you hit me.
T: I am sorry, I thought I stopped.
O: Well now you have to get a big fine, can I have your driver's license.
T: (getting license) Ok, I haven't got a find in 10 years of driving...
O: Well, thats a pity that you must start with a R500 fine.
T: Yes, that is a shame.
O: (reading license) Ah, Mr Black... but you are white... hahaha
(cop goes round to check registration)
O: So, what can we do to reduce this fine?
T: I don't understand Officer?
O: How can we stop you from having a big fine?
T: Well, I can't stop that officer... that is up to you.
O: Well how much would you like me to reduce it by?
T: I can't tell you that officer, you tell me, I would like you to let me go.
O: Well let's discuss what the options are, what would you like.
T: I think there are two options officer, you give me the fine, or you don't.
O: How much do you want me to reduce it by?
T: You are the officer, it is not up to me, I am just a citizen.
O: I am a citizen too.
T: Yes, you are.
O: We have a situation here, you need to suggest some options, how much do you want to pay.
T: I don't want to pay anything. If I must pay, give me the fine.
O: Ok Mr Black
T: Ok ... (pause)
O: Ok Mr Black
T: Ok Officer... thank you... (drive off)
