At least for the ticket situation, some of your anxiety may just be the unknown of it all. Once you come out the other side of the experience you may find that next time it doesnt phase you as much.

I got ticketed for a bug in my states public transport ticketing system. I could demonstrate the bug, but the internal review refused to acknowledge it, and I was forced to go to court to avoid the fine. That experience was very anxiety inducing, because I had no prior experience with the court system, and I had no idea if I was gonna face a far worse fine if they didnt side with me. Fortunately they did, but as a result, I'm much more comfortable going to court for these things, because it became clear to me that the courts really don't care for minor things like public transport tickets, so as long as you are reasonable, you'll win.

With your situation, if you have proof you had a ticket and evidence of a history of paying for tickets I suspect if you push hard enough it'll get dropped eventually.

Good luck :)

    The new cameras are not announced, not spec'd, and not dated. There is no model name, no sensor, no price. What the company is describing is a direction, not a product you can buy.

    That was what triggered me.

    I'm sure fstoppers used to be a reputable source, so its kinda disappointing.

    The one I got even came with a motherboard 24 pin adapter to turn on the ATX PSU, so I was very happy with that. The manual is Chinese only, but the only real gotcha was that there is two USBC ports, you want to use the one on the far side of the power connectors, thats the thunderbolt port.

    I am not really qualified to comment on the quality of the handhelds, but have a few baofengs (don't know the model), a quangshen uv-k6 and a radtel rt-470x. All of them likely illegal, probably excessively spectrally noisy. But they are good for road trips.
