police officers for using a cell phone while driving, despite the fact that neither of them has ever owned one.&nbsp; Two police officers pulled over Laszlo Piskzer and his wife Margaret on Friday in the 2500 block of Portage Avenue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Piskzer found himself being handed a ticket for $199.80, despite telling the officers neither of them had a cell phone, as well as giving them permission to search the car for the non-existent device if they did not believe him.&nbsp; \u201cI told them \u2018Do whatever it takes.&nbsp; There\u2019s no phone in here, never has been.&nbsp; I don\u2019t know anything about the phone\u2019.&nbsp; &nbsp;But they won\u2019t have it.&nbsp; They were just going crazy, going to arrest me, and they were nasty to my wife as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The 74 year old, who says that he is so technically challenged that even if he had a cell phone he would not know how to use it, immediately went to a nearby police station in order to complain about the incident.&nbsp; Piskzer says the officer they spoke to laughed and noted that the ticket was most likely given to them for the purpose of filling a quota.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The couple will not be paying the ticket.&nbsp; \u201cWe\u2019re not going to stand for this,\u201d Margaret Piskzer notes, calling the entire situation \u201cludicrous\u201d.&nbsp; \u201cIt\u2019s just not right,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An elderly couple from Winnipeg in Canada is baffled and outraged
