he just named the tickets he got, he didnt say the order of events

I tend to disagree with some of cbrr's replies. this time I agree. I drive like an ******* but I never ever ever fly up on a cop's ass... i pace them from behind if I have to , usually get out from behind em and wait for em to move or park for a speed trap(I do alot of turnpike/parkway driving in the Z). Statey cars are super easy to spot , even the unmarked ones. You cant cry about getting caught doing over 100 mph.

CBR I'm not going to try to argue with you because I see you are a cop and the boys in blue are always right.

I'm just telling him my experience when I was younger and they were willing to cut me a break for supposedly speeding down a side street and fishtailing onto a highway carelessly. I lied my ass off to I wasn't anywhere near going into the marines, but I didn't want the points. He actually IS going into the marines they might show him some leniency and cut him some slack for serving his country.

i never said im always right nor do i want to argue with you, the kid did 50mph over the speed limit, it wont get him any leniency now that the ticket is written.....had he had some quick wit and said somthing on the side of the road it may have worked, but now its on the record and they cant just throw it away

again not arguing, but the judge can do whatever he wants. If they want to reduce the ticket to a non-moving violation they can. He will probably have to pay a hefty fine but it's up to the judge. No harm in trying to plead the ticket down. You'd be surprised how imaginative they can be in court when it serves their best interest. i.e.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

especially since a percentage of certain tickets gets forwarded to the state. if they can, they will do whatever it takes to keep the moeny here instead of the state getting some.

driving a loud flashy car like yours has pull me over written all over it even when you do the speed limit, getting caught doing some illegal in it is even worse. best move i ever made was getting a daily driver and only taking the camaro out for fun, driving your car everyday is way to risky.

reason why i got a beater....got pulled one night in the t/a for no reason, just the cops being jerk0ffs...but the beater is still a bird :wink:

and nouri, come on dude....down there is the worst place to speed almost as bad as rt19 at the wrong time of day. all the cops are down there bc of the dumb kids anyway. should waited till you got back up here on rt 46 behind my house like everyone else :mrgreen:
