i took it out the window cuz you 100% always get a ticket if they see your detector because detectors are for speeding and they know you know you were speeding. and they just made them illegal where i live (Nevada County, California)

he pulled me over and told me to follow him because he started going down the sideroad where my girlfriend drove to and he was going to get her too.

i havent done traffic school for the 1st ticket yet, thats next saturday

I drive through nevada county on the way to downieville each year and was actually pulled over there once WITH IT IN THE WINDOW ... I crossed the yellow on the straight to avoid a boulder ... cop just gave me a warning ... didnt say shit about the detector.

and if you havent done the traffic school for your first ticket, then you are ineligible for it for this one.

yea ive been pulled over for speeding with a radar detector in my window that was blaring cuz it was detecting the signals of the cop parked behind me and he didnt say anything and i got pulled over for not having a license plate with that in the window and they didnt say anything... its a recent thing that they're illegal.

i havent done traffic school for the first ticket yet and im not planning to do it for the second one, i am scheduled for traffic school next weekend for the first ticket

if they didn't tow her on the spot then they won't do it later so don't worry about that but they still can nail her for reckless driving in court, not to say they will but it's a possibility.

shes not gonna fight the ticket... is a reckless driving ticket hella big? or is she going to get 2 smaller ones (1 for speeding 1 for reckless)

it depends on a few things... if the cop shows up at the hearing he could make it a pain in the ass for her. But if he doesn't show up she could get off easy... lets put it this way, I got nabbed doing 67 in a 30 and had to go to court for reckless driving. I went to the court and met with DA before you go into to see the judge, I plead guilty and was polite as possible, he looked at my file (which was basically blank cause it was first time with reckless driving) he said it's your first time so we'll knock down the charges to "raveling at an unreasonable speed"... in the end I paid a 70 dollar court fee and 50 dollars for the ticket.

you get a more expenisve ticket for jaywalking in CA. Once my dad got a $5 parking ticket in RI. Is that even worth the fucking paper it is printed on?

you have to pay court fees (in CT at least) regardless of if you fight it or not, I plead guilty and paid more for the court fee then I did for the actual ticket.

casperGSR · #27 05-15-2003, 06:12 PM

...actually now that I think about it you may not have to pay it if you fight it and win... you'll definately have to pay it if you fight it and lose.

well on my ticket it has a court date where you appear and show up to say whether you want to pay it or say it was a stupid ticket and they might reduce the price. if you are just going to pay it you call them and tell them and send in a check and you dont have to go. would i have to pay for that? (Showing up at the court date)
