Urban legend

Urban legend proved true- you can get a ticket for jaywalking. I got a ticket for crossing the street against a don't walk sign today. I am so mad, I cannot tell you how many times I have done this, especially in New York; if the coast is clear, you walk. So my sidekick and I just got finished meeting a friend for lunch at the local farmers market. I was feeling good, had some fresh produce and flowers in hand, and was heading to the park to enjoy the warm sun. On the way there I was crossing the street when BLAM out of nowhere a police officer comes swerving around the corner lights flashing and sirens blaring, (ok, it was more like he slowly and quietly drove by me) and told me to meet him in a near by parking lot. Once there he of course asked "do you know why I stopped you?" Why do they always have to ask that question? Anyone have any sarcastic responses to that I can use for next time? I was being very polite because there was no way he was giving me a ticket; a warning was sufficient. But no, he whips out his book and starts writing me a ticket and telling me what a bad mother I am. So my attitude kicks in, and out goes my chance of getting out of this without a ticket. So now I have to go to court and appear before a judge?! He said I might need to go to traffic school?! This is unheard of! I guess this is not an urban legend, but a suburban legend...
