I remember a cranky old neighbor who got pissed off at getting a ticket from a deputy who was always passing him over the double line at a high rate of speed. One time decided to pass him. At 80 miles an hour. Got a ticket. Not for going 80 but for driving on the wrong side of the road. Judge dismissed it. Guy got another ticket the next week. Same judge. First time I heard the phrase "official oppression."

A short time later, a reporter from the Boston Globe came up and interviewed him. Did not include the ticket story in his column.
