The only situation in which you can’t discuss the righteousness of a fine given by the Dutch police is when the fine has already been given, the policemen are gone and there is nobody to discuss it with.

The Dutch police have seemingly developed a special strategy for avoiding any kind of discussion: the police officer comes to a car, cautiously looks around in case the owner is hiding somewhere nearby, then reassured of his safety, he writes a fine very fast and leaves. Back in my country, and in most Eastern European countries for that matter, any kind of discussion with a policeman is unimaginable. The first rule is: the policeman is always right. And rule number two is: In cases where the policeman is wrong, read rule number one.
