I cannot believe who is getting college degrees these days...
"I didn't need to pay the fines because I cut the boot off myself."
This doesn't make any sense. Why, exactly, do you not need to pay the fines? You were pulled over, they know who you are and they have your plates. They'll tack them onto your student record. You'll either need to pay them come tuition time, pay them to get your diploma, or they'll send you a letter stating you have to pay them or you'll go to collections.
If for some reason you really end up not having to pay the fines, your school should lose it's accreditation for being made up of the least intelligent people on earth.
