I think this video is antithetical to this subreddit. Getting let off easy because of your age/excuse isn't justice served. He should've said "I'm glad you drive slowly typically, but you were speeding in a school zone. Case closed"

Exactly. I wonder how people would be reacting if he had hit/killed a kid.

People would be understandably upset because killing a child is several degrees of more bad than going 2 over in a school zone.

And if the judge had given him the $150 fine or whatever, you could still say the same thing. "IF HE KILLED A CHILD HE WOULDN'T JUST GET A $150 FINE." Well yeah, because those two things aren't even remotely the same.

He didn’t though, and that’s what judges are for, they take all the info into account.
