A cop gave Nick a speeding ticket and Nick fought it. In court, Nick refused to use the court's terminology regarding who he was. The judge wanted to know if he was Nicholas J Ryder, and Nick only said "That is the name on my drivers license" and "That is what people call me." Nick also challenged the story the cop gave, essentially calling the cop a liar. Most significantly, Nick pointed out that cops are treated differently - better - by the government than "ordinary citizens" are, and that this is unfair. Nick asked the cop who the complaining party was, and the cop said it was only him. then Nick asked the cop if Nick and the cop should be treated equally by the court and the cop said yes. Then Nick asked the cop if he was searched for weapons when he entered the court; the cop said no, and Nick asked if the cop got special treatment from the court because he, Nick, got searched for weapons. The judge hemmed and hawed a bit in trying to explain how cops were treated equally even though they were not treated equally. The judge eventually decided that Nick was innocent of the speeding charge.
