Here's how the scam works in CT:

Trooper X gives you your ticket, tells you that if you pay without challenging it in court, there will be no points assessed on your license. BTW, this is called "extortion".

So, you pay the ticket without a quibble. Next time your insurance bill is due, it's $200 more a year. You call GEICO and ask "what happened". They say, "Well Mr. Brown, you didn't completely stop at that stop sign".

You see, they DON'T put any points on your license but they DO inform your insurer. It's a win-win (for them).

Me, I'd rather clog the court system if I'm paying anyway.
