Our veterinarian in San Antonio told us once how his great grandfather had been given a speeding ticket on some empty rural road. He refused to pay and was hauled into court. Ticketing officer presented the evidence (radar gun) and judge asked the old man how he pleaded. The old man asked the judge who his father and grandfather were and then told the judge: "Your grandfather and I had to fight off a band of Apaches for 12 hours from behind an overturned wagon long before that road was ever paid and I'll be dammed if I'm going to let that wet-behind-the-ears policeman is going to make me pay for traveling on a road I defended with my life...along with your grand daddy." The cased was dismissed.
