I would for sure confront the guy about it, and talk to him about his situation at the least, and try to get him some help before made him pay a ticket. That is, if i knew his situation before i caught him.
For yall Michigan folks, My neighbors son and law works for the US forest service up there. So if u get stopped by an officer? Weisie tell him Darren from IL says hey before he writes u a ticket. Its pretty funny some of the stuff they do, or he says they do. lol. a few months ago he was talkin about how they make fun of DNR folks cause they can never hold the spotlight still for them
