I think it’s pretty sneaky to sit behind the wall in the Bill’s parking lot and pick cabs off who are just trying to make a buck. I know, it’s illegal to block traffic but the only cars I was blocking were other cabs waiting to do the same thing. Now I have to work a whole day just to pay this stupid ticket when I can hardly pay my mortgage. Wha wha wha so I got caught and now I’m raggin isn’t that the way of the world? I think it’s only $80, I’m glad it wasn’t for long hauling or something. I couldn’t have gotten one of those since I don’t longhaul, It’s tough being a desert taxi driver.

Let’s see, what you are guilty of is picking up Las Vegas tourists that need a taxi. This town was built on tourists, but when you see how slow the hotels are at loading the long lines of people in cabs, and the way the roads are blocked all the time by city workers, and the fact that they can only load less than 30 cabs at a time at the airport when there are 150 empty cabs waiting in line and there is a long line of passengers trying to get into cabs, you would think that there must be an endless supply of naive tourists who will come back to Las Vegas no matter how badly they are treated. The intent of the law you were ticketed for was to keep cabbies from blocking normal traffic, and if you weren’t doing that it is an abuse of authority for them to tag you to fund the State budget.
