Got Caught Speeding.

The reason i never faught any of mine is because the horror stories i heard from a few ppl at my old work. One guy i remember said he went in to fight the ticket, and said it wasnt that big a deal cause it was 10 over. Then the judge basically took that as him not being serious about it and suspended his lisence for a few months...better safe than sorry imo

What do you mean what ever time my ticket says? Don't you have to call up to schedule it?

All depends on how they do it. Every county or city is different. There should be a number to call. Give it a week and then call the number. They should give you the scheduled time then. Don't call too soon, because the cop may not have filed the ticket yet. I've had tickets where the date and time to appear was right on the ticket. Other times they tell you to call a number after a week or so.

good luck,
Curt

Now where is tom when we need him? lol Well I don't really want to give you advice one way or another cause I say do whatever you feel best about doing and also cause I have never been in your situation.

Also your rims look stock from the pic so am I missing something about them?

[dylan]

That was a picture taken in the spring. I am not sure if you have seen them but I have Blakes old AR 16's (which I blew out a rear tire on today :rant:) My bad. I am going to be picking up some pretty new potenzas tomarrow.

There are some pictures of the rims in the photo gallery, Blakes DSM is the one he is happens to be standing on in the picture.

You can still be fined for the ticket even if the cop doesn't show. They got rid of that rule. Too many people were getting outta too many good tickets because the pig wouldn't show up. And as far as I know, a cop can't ticket you for a 'assumption.' That's bullshit. He has to have you clocked, and fine you for the exact amount over.

[dylan]

Yeah I am going to court for sure.

They also cannot approach you like he did without lights on doing well over the speed limit unless it is an emergency.

Don't speed. You're fucked. If you do go to court...

1) Learn the lingo, and how to testify
2) Pray the cop gets in an accident, or called out on your court date
3) Don't be a smart ass, but don't admit to any wrong doing
4) Don't say "I don't know" or things like that, say "I cannot speak to that at this time" and shit like that.

This speeding ticket might fuck you square in the pooper, but to a cop, another day, another dollar, and I can guarantee you a judge gives 2 shits about a kid in a foreign car.

Profiling isn't your fault. Like I said before, blame it on the fuckers doing burnouts in parking lots. That's what most cops think of us.


And don't speed. and if you do, don't get caught. :razz2:

I'm a reserve officer, and I approach cars moving without headlights during safe and sober stings, and as well as juvenile DUI stops. And if he deems you a danger to other drivers, he can drive as fast as he wants. Plus you were speeding. Tom got a "general speeding" violation one day in St Paul (after I smoked his ass).

You people shit on cops too much. I'll quote a quote from DSMLife.com

"If you don't like cops, then the next time you need help, don't call 911. Call a drinking buddy, I bet he'll be there"

And you wanna talk racial profiling???

don't get me started :censored:

I actually read in the paper about a cop who went after someone without their lights on at about 85 mph and ended up killing a woman because she didnt see him coming around a corner. The problem with that is that was his 3rd accident doing the same thing. He's no longer a cop, but should have had more than a slap on the hand the first accident.
