Which would be fine if that's the only thing he's writing you for, but like my situation, the ticket for mudflaps would be enough to remind me not to leave the house without my wallet. Posative re-enforcement goes much further than being a jerk. My wife had a taillight out, and happend to have a spare in the glovebox(gotta love 2 packs). The officer not only didn't issue a ticket, he helped her change it. Next time we were in the parts store, she grabbed another pack to keep in the glovebox. Posative encounters create posative results.
