Got Caught Speeding.

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.

Now that's a fair argument. I don't "pursue" people without headlights. I may sneak up on a car, but if they run, it's done. Plus there's some documentation here. You're not just bashing cops in general. I agree, that should be 2nd or 3rd Degree Vehicluar Homicide. I'm just sick of hearing about how cops suck because one cop may have made a bad stop. That's like saying Arab people suck becasue of Saddam, or German people because of Hitler. Thank you for respectfully arguing (sp) your point.

Well, if you are a cop and can't take the heat of people not liking you, find a new job! Any job where you work for the government people will always be saying shit. I never said I hate cops, I hate how they take advantage of the public with speeding tickets though. On the ticket the whole thing is about how I could be a pussy and send in my well earned $130 to this address, or call on the phone with my CC number. Nowhere does it mention how to fight the ticket. I love the work cops do, and I have even thought about becomming one.

"I'm just sick of hearing about how cops suck because one cop may have made a bad
stop." I am not sure if this statement is directed towards me. If it is not completely ignore this. I hate when people assume things like this. Where did I say that cops suck? I realize this is probably a generic defense statement that you might shoot out to anyone talking about police, but it really does not apply in this case.

Besides, if no one ever faught the system what would happen?

Danke.

I hear ya. I've been where you are, and I stopped speeding. Tickets are there to pay for roads. If you didn't get a ticket to pay for roads, then all of the others on this forum who aren't speeding would have 3% more taken out of their pay checks, your license would cost $50, and you'd pay an extra $1 for beer at bars.

And the I hate cops thing wasn't directed at you


They know who they are...

Like I said before...it goes both ways.

If you can't pay the fine, don't do the crime!

You admitted you were speeding, so why the hell do you have a problem with getting a ticket? You were completely in the wrong. :rant:

From the information I provided would you be able to convict me without a reasonable doubt? Maybe, but he had less than I even gave to you. Now if he had clocked me with one of those new fancy lasers, I woulda called the 800 number with card in my hand and paid it right when I got home.

SEE NEW POST TOPIC. Please :stick:

I got a speeding ticket on 36th last summer and I dealt with it. It was my own fault that I was going over the posted limit. Let me know when they call up a jury for a speeding ticket hearing, until that day "beyond a reasonable doubt" doesn't mean shit. You say you weren't speeding, cops says you where...if you were the judge who would you believe? Your best bet is to hope for a reduced fine and to go on probation for a year after talking to the hearing officer.

Yeah, don't expect to be out of the ticket. Do as Chris said before. Your best luck is sitting down with the city/state attorney, and plea bargaining. Either way, your about to spend some money.

listen to the master of tickets :P
