got a ticket today

[Kid Racer]

yeah i was pulled over in my blazer before for not haveing a good sticker...it was kinda funny but made me mad cause i had been fighting with the m.v.c and all....because they keep saying i owe them money when i didnt...so they suspended my d.l. and i didnt even know...so i got a tickit for that instead of having a dead sticker...but i got away with it...in court cause i got it all fixed and my d.l.

[Frosty]

So let me get this straight. You got mad at the cop because you can't prove when they slapped the rejected sticker on? Riiiiiiight. You want to know why she got snippy? She probably had 25 other people crying the same story that day. Maybe you weren't told you needed that paper, that's probably true but that's not the cop's problem. Ripping it up in front of them probably wasn't smart. If I was a cop and saw you do that I'd hope a little piece of paper fell on the ground so I could write your ass a littering ticket.

Just bring that slip of paper with the date on it to court and they'll throw it out. It's more of an inconvenience than anything.

ok. theres no way they can send me another ticket in the mail. isnt happening. i riped up the ticket and threw it in my backseat, and they cant write me a ticket for getting mad at them and ripping up my ticket, so idk what some of you are trying to get at.

maybe i should of had the paper, but i dont think its right to give me a ticket. they can tell if my car is registered through their computers, so why cant they see that i was just at inspection?

I said if I was I was a cop and saw you act all big tough by ripping up the ticket I'd hope a piece fell on the ground so I could write you a littering ticket.

Look at it this way man, you said flat out the current sticker on there now is from August. So either way you didn't get it inspected on time so it caught up with you. Was it ****** they gave you a ticket? Sure is but they don't know you from anyone. Do you know how many people probably lied about when they got their rejected sticker? Put yourself in the cop's shoes for just a second. They've heard EVERY excuse in the book. What makes you any different in their eyes? Nothing.

Just bring your inspection paper to court and forget about the fine. Like I said it's not that big of a deal..just a minor inconvenience. It's not like they tried impounding your car or something.

[shane27]

but i just got mad cuz ive been pulled over like 4 days in the past week and its annoying

[Frosty]

speaking of inspection....[next month]
anyone know how to fix my blinker?
right works, left doesn't, both work for hazards

Check all the bulbs on each side with the blinker on. my truck had the same problem. it was a bad ground on one blub on one side of the plow blinkers. clean the bulb terminals and use some dielectric grease.

yeah man wtf?

im willing to bet no one here on this board has been pulled over more then me, so by seniority my opinion counts the most.... no matter how big of a jerk the cop is being to you, if you be nice to him and stay calm, he will eventually turn around and have mercy on you. not only that, but its just childish to act otherwise. cops have the right to pull you over for doing 31 in a 30, so why argue with them if someone else is doing something worse? remember, they could always make it harder for you.

moral of the story- cops are human and have a heart. it hasnt been since last year that i got pulled over twice in 5 minutes in new brunswick that a cop didnt stop his dickheadedness after seeing that i am a nice guy and show mercy. trust me, its been less then a week since the last time i was pulled over fyi

It's a priviledge to drive and you must maintain a safe vehicle. You drive around with an overdue inspection and then a failed inspection so you deserve the ticket. If you act up with a cop, you deserve another ticket. If your vehicle isn't safe to operate then it should be taken off the road before something bad happens so someone else. You guys need to understand that you don't have the right to drive. Take a deep breath and say "I was completely wrong and I'm lucky I didn't get 3 or 4 tickets". If you can't get your car to pass inspection then you shouldn't be driving it. Period!

why cant they write you another ticket? they have a copy of the ticket they wrote you so they could easily just send you another one.

[IROCdan330]

i find when confronted by the man, if you treat them with respect they will generally not stick it to you. the whole "you're right and i'm an *******" thing goes a long way when dealing with police officers.

and about the blinker...the blinker and 4-ways are on 2 different circuits. even if you pull the blinker fuse, the 4-ways will still work. i would check the grounds on the side youre having problems with.

i may be willing to take you up on that bet, ive easily hit 120+ times...lol.

and everything else jake said is 100% true.

as for getting pulled over again in a short period of time... i got pulled over for tints back in the day and 4 cop cars showed up. i was let go since i had a doctors note for it, hehe(thats another story), but when they let me go, i drove 50ft to a stop light, light went green, i went and a cop sitting at the light pulled out and pulled me over right away. That cop wasnt one of the previous 4 so they had no clue. When she came up to the car, i just rolled my windows down, put my hands on the wheel and stared straight ahead. Just as she got to my window, with hand on her gun i think too, she got the radio call from the cops down the road to let me go. i made some smart, NOT rude comments to her, like when she asked where was i going i said "outta here" she said "excuse me?", so i replied with "out of this town" and basically with that, i was on my way again.

sounds to me like the cops had a bit of an attitude. doesn't sound like being nice/honest would've helped out here.

you don't know how long they had been there - could've been hours of the same stuff, ie: people lying to get out of tickets, some with the most stupid excuses ever... also sounds like maybe the woman was a rookie or just hot looking (and the male cops were "protecting her" in order to get some). who knows how many of them were dipping it.

not to excuse anyone's behavior in this situation. it sounded like you could've been the bigger man and just let their comments roll off of you and saved your anger for when they were out of sight (sound). definitely fight this ticket in court, but keep the personal comments out of it - especially the part about you ripping the ticket up. the judge could have an attitude, too, and you could end up with max fines and/or contempt of court.

[DieselKickYoAss4Sure]

Well Prepare to lose your license for non payment of a ticklet before they put a warrent out for your arrest! my roomate got a ticket for unclear plate they didnt get the check in tiem and called telling him he was losing his licecse! Fortuatly he was able to keep that from ahppening cus his check arrived in the mail that day! And Well Your just plain dumb for getting an attitude with the cop End OF story!

[Savage_Messiah]

tell 'em phil

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Whoever said they can pull you over for 31 in a 30 - they can't. Their radar is +/- 1 mph so it needs to be 31.1, or in this case, 32 before they can pull you over. We had a cop come to our school and tell us stuff for physics and that came up. Make sure you find out when it was last tuned as well. it can be off if not tuned frequently. And for all y'all who ever drive through long valley - watch out because they pull over everybody there.

[Frosty]

I thought it was give or take 4mph?
