I got a speeding ticket from the Kaunas police three months ago. I paid the ticket within two days. I got a registered letter this week from a bailiff in Klaipeda that says I didn't pay it and I gotta pay more than double the ticket for their service of tracking me down. So I had to A) go to the special post office, which has a back door entrance you can't find, B) go to the city tax office to get a receipt for the payment from October (all five of the employees in that office were sitting around chatting, incidentally), and C) go to the bailiff's office, which is also really hard to find and takes alot of walking around in the cold. Then after I wait around and finally prove my case to her, she's all disappointed because there's no chance in hell the police will pay her the tracking fee I would have had to, and I certainly don't have to, so she's screwed, and there's even less of a chance that the police will reimburse me for my lost time, gas, and stress. I wonder, why can I be obliged to pay for tacking me down, but nobody's obliged to pay me for tracking my documents down to prove that I've been falsely accused?
One more strike against Kaunas, not that it needed one.

that's ridiculous! i can't even believe it.
well, yesterday i took my car in for an oil change, and they "found" lots of other things "wrong" to "fix"... i called tete and so i'm not getting the fuel induction (what is that?) they suggested, but i still have to pay a $100 deductible plus $40 oil change. it's nothing compared to what i still owe on the car, but it's annoying anyway.
welcome to the wonderful world of the bureaucrat, who is never held accountable.
thank heavens you were able to prove your innocence! most people would have just been screwed.
no one has to be careful about your rights because the government incentives are all backwards.
