It's the same as complaining publicly about a meal at a restaurant but not discussing it with the manager.

Taking 5 min to talk to the manager is not the same as having to take a day off from work (or maybe 1/2 day) to go talk to a judge to tell them why a got a ticket for going 5 mph over. I agree we should do it but too often people can't because the courts have no weekend or evening hours and many people do not have the liberty at their jobs to just take 1/2 day off. I've only received a few tickets in my life but even when I felt I should contest it - it just wasn't worth it from a work standpoint.
