Quite true.
Once I got caught on camera for beating the red light. I was driving a pick-up with a dog tied at the back.
I prepared my dog story like crazy, and went to TP at Maxwell Road. There was a queue for the appeal officer on duty that day. When it came to my turn, she just reduced the fine without listening to my story. I just "Ahh..." and the next guy elbowed me out of the way.
I paid $40, reduced from the then $60 compound fine.
At that time, I still felt "unsatisfied" because I think I have a good excuse, but decided not to press my "luck", and paid up the reduced fine and left.
