Transcript

What is one place in Oklahoma that you know to stay completely out of? Gotta be Valley Brook. A few years ago, I got a speeding ticket going 48 in a 40 on Southwest 59th Street. Ended up costing me about $400. But they made court for it. I show up, there's about 50 other people in there getting speeding tickets. No headlight tickets, anything they could pull over people for. The first thing is, if you don't have the full amount today, you will spend the night in jail. That's crazy.
