    You get a ticket for not coming to a complete stop when turning right in florida. If he was picking them up in a sane state, there might be an issue.

    How is it being on a high horse? If he is blatantly running red lights (and nothing minor like a red light turn) then that is disappointing

    You can get a ticket for that here (Texas) too lol

    With video evidence saying, look, you only got to 2 mph, fine! ?

    The problem with cameras is that people are most susceptible when there is nobody around because they relax due to there being no danger.

    Oh sorry I meant if a cop sees you doing it he can give you a ticket. Didn't mean if a camera catches you. The auto tickets the cameras give out are dumb.

    $285 to someone like Dwight? Remember that video of Shaq laughing off the $30,000 fine? Yeah, these guys live in completely different financial worlds. It's stupid.

    I heard from a source that Dwight was not driving this vehicle. In checking the public record, sure enough, the only outstanding ticket on the vehicle registered to Dwight (and the one that got his license suspended) was on April 14, 2014 in Winter Park, Florida. July 1st (the date in the TMZ story) was when the payable infraction was filed for that ticket, but the camera recorded it on 4/14.

    Dwight was in Houston playing the Spurs that night. He has shootaround in the morning and game prep before a 7pm game.

    Translated: No way he was in Florida. No way he was driving that car.

    This kind of attitude is why there are 30,000+ deaths and 2,000,000+ injuries from car accidents in the US every year.

    Good to hear it wasn't Dwight. It would have been disappointing if true.

    I've been the only person at an intersection at 2 in the morning before sitting at a red light by myself.

    In fact, there has been times at like 2 in the morning where I'm the only one at an intersection and the light wouldn't change. I sat there for a ridiculous amount of time before I just said screw it and went through the red light.

    Those instances aren't exactly the same as running a red light when there is traffic on the roads.

    Case and pont. People on their high horses are so quick to judge and are unwilling to give the benefit of the doubt to a player.

    Yes, now that he ran 9 red lights instead of 10, it's all OK. Maybe he just lends out his car a lot.

    If he sold the iPad Morey gave him, he would have enough money to pay the fine.
