Well Boys, it's over....for awhile that is....

I'm getting sick of the anti-police attitude in this thread, they are just doing their job. If you were breaking the law then shut the fuck up, you deserve a ticket. This comment is not directed at you Civ, more so the people that are bashing the police.

As for your case, good luck, the fact is that you were speeding. Any cop will tell you that it doesn't matter if you are going with the flow of traffic and it will be hard for you to get out of it.

When you go fishing you aren't trying to catch all the fish. That is the same for cops handing out tickets.

Well, the ticket wasn't for speeding. I was given a warning (I was only going like 5-8 mph over). That is why I received the warning for speeding, and they really can't give you ticket for even going ten over, just a warning according to my old Law enforcement teacher.

Yeah I agree, cops are doing their job, but at the same time they shouldn't have to pull you over for ridiculous reasons just to make a quota. But I was following my friend Marsh. If anything the cop should have pulled him over. I guess I was just unfortunate, but I have a good case against this, and Marsh agreed to come with me to settle the issue. To voices against one, maybe not even one. So I'd say my chances are pretty great in getting off the hook here. But I appreciate everyone's support in the matter.

As for the bashing on the cops, people need to make their money somehow to support their families. Even if it means being an ass to everyone around you. J/K. I know decent cops, and I know bad cops. They deal with a lot of crap day to day, and I can respect a lot of them for keeping a "decent attitude" towards everyone. If I were in their position everyday, I think I might be a dick too. But just remember they do put up with many hardasses, scumbags, and low-lifes. So atleast you can cut them a little slack for being the way they are. Late...

My advise is to hire a lawyer. I believe that the money you spend will be well spent, as the lawyer will more then likely be able to convince the court that you aren't at fault. Your buddy sounds like a knuckle head. I wouldn't speed to have you following me, knowing your situation. Oh well, what can you do, friends always put you in an uncompomising situation.

Oops I just read your last post. A warning is nothing to worry about.

Don't count on the cop not showing up to court...when I got my stop sign ticket last year (I did a complete stop...really ) my mom told me to go to court because the cop probably wouldn't show up and I'd win by default...sure enough, the bastard showed up, he had all the good stuff, I had nothing, and I lost.

Cops are money makers first and foremost, and most will do what they can get away with to get that money from you, even if it involves violating your rights(not all but most)...this is what they are trained to do. They can also lose their job if they don't use these tactics on us, and if they become an irritation to the dept. by complaining about the depts. policys worse can happen (our govt is not a wonderfull institution). Ever wonder why most of them are assholes? It's because they are selected for these personality traits, the govt. wants a person thats willing to violate you. They have a "them against us" attitude and are not to be trusted.

Yes and big brother is watching us all type right now....mwahahahaha


That post was stupid. Let me start by saying although I hate about 98% of cops, there are those out there that intentions are not to catch a kid doing 5 over to make money off of. One cop I knew (part of family of step mom) did anything he wanted all the time. He also claimed that he only gives tickets over warnings when the person was outright crazy driving or if they were an ass to him when he got to the car. Dont believe me? This is the same guy who had to break every rule our condo had when we were in florida. When I said "Kevin, we dont have a kid with us so you cant break the no baby diapers in pool rule" he went out and bought a pack just to toss into the pool. I believe our government doesnt give a rats ass about any of us as individuals, but to say they select cops on who will violate our rights best is bull.
