My nieces boy friend was driving them home from school (Mansfield TX) and he cut through a neighborhood. The area was not a gated community to get home quicker and avoid school zones. A cop followed them through the side streets. When they got back on to the main road he pulled them over and gave him a ticket for cutting through the neighborhood. The ticket is for $300.

WTF??? How do you get a citation for driving on public roads? Is there anyway to look this code up? Can cops cite for just random stuff or does there need to be an actual city code or statute to violate? Wouldn't the roads have to be marked for local traffic only or something?

Seems like a load of crap to me. Lets skip the cops are pigs BS as that really is not constructive.
