SN,

Nice strawman argument...who said anything about a menace to society. This was an infraction, not a misdemeanor or felony.

If you do something like this and are caught...just pay the fine. You made a mistake, don't compound it by seeking your 15 minutes...like the PS Tram hikers stuck out after going up in 105 MPH winds when the tram closed, the meth doers in Orange Co. or any of the groups getting stuck at the top of San Antonio Falls near Mt. Baldy.
