Thanks i'm not trying to bash on anybody's cars I just thought it was funny.

ok just for the record, i used to be a lifeguard and worked with a cop, and he gave me a vehicle code book, i have read over it a million times, if any of you want to get out of a ticket, i would be the one to get you out of it, first off: i dont know about where you are from but, in california, if a cop follows you for more then 2 blocks is is considered harrassment, they arent aloud to do it. i have had 12 tickets and only gotten busted for three of them. look into that followig thing. and here is a story, i got pulled over for 82 in a 65,( i knew damn right i was caught so i didnt say anything) the cop was being a dick so i told him he needed to get a life, so he told me to pop my hood, i told him no he needed a warent, he said your right, and reached into my car and popped the hood, and wrote me up for everythinggg, engine mod, intake, header, disconeted smog deveice ( still dont know what that is) and exhaust. i went to court and told the judge and the ticket was thrown out and the cop was sited. hahahahahaha i win. and as for most states, for cops in court,( you all must know this) no show, no ticket. the trick is to plead not guilty and reschedule, and then reschedule two more times after that (walking in to the window, say its for work or something) and then 99% of the time the cop doesnt even find out. it works, trust me.

oh yeah and about exhaust and desipiles, desipile meters are 2000 dollar machines, and they dont supply them in the squad cars, so 76_cobra is right, that is a sure fire way to get out of a ticket, i have gotten out of three of those for that.

He never gave me a ticket, he came back to the car after checking my license and said "ok you have a good night" and that's it, I hate this town! Cops just want to fuck with you! And if that 2 blocks thing is true, them omg! I could've gotten away with a lot of shit! I had one follow me for more than a mile or 2-3mins before pull over; easy.


Matter of fact! Taillight covers (blackouts) are illegal in florida, and you get a warning or ticket if you got em on-Well the night before this happend, i was going down a main street in my town bout 11:30pm thumping in my Camaro, yep 1990 5.0. Had 2 mmats wavedrive 15's and 1200watt classD memphis amp and there was no one else around, the sound was prolly echoing off the buildings, and there were 2 cops parked in the post office, right when i saw them, prolly bout 40 yards-50yards away, I turned it off. I was saying "oh shit oh shit they heard that shit" I had my buddy behind me in a miata, I got about 1/8th mile away from the main street my buddy behinds me lives off of, and they started to pull out-It was about 3/4 of a mile down that main road over hills and turns, so once I hit the corner on to the road I dropped it and kicked it hard all the way to his road, my buddy saw what I was doing and joined, well he didn't keep up very well, I pulled in the street, hauled ass up to his house and pulled the e-brake as I was opening my door and getting the key out of the ignition when my friend and the flashing lights started comming-you on the edge of ur seat yet? :P I jumped out the car and ran into the backyard which is surround by 7ft wood fence, I waited for about 5 mins, and jumped over the back fence, and ran across that main road we came down, and I dipped out like a fugitive to my dad's house which was about 1/2 mile away. And my friend called me later, and said everything was cool, they just wrote his ass up for every possible thing they could get him on, they were like "your buddy just left you with all the responsibility" and even gave him 2 tickets for having somewhat BALD REAR TIRES! 44bucks a tire =P it ended up being around 200 bucks worth of tickets. Ok, the whole point of that story is that this story starts the next day

I was about to cross this intersection, and a cop passed infont of me (he's going east if I'm going north) and when i passed through the intersection the cop does a 180 and starts following me all the way to my house about a mile away. She said she pulled me over because I had blackouts. Well, how could she possibly see my blackouts when she crossed infront of me!?!?!? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

funny thing was, once I got pulled over, the backup officer was a guy at the scene last night, and he was like "so your hands feel good after jumping that fence?" (there was some bums that live on the hwy that told on me) and I was like "yea they feel pretty good" and so on and so on-so basically they pulled me over just so they could talk to me about the night before, more like harrass me about it.

That would probably explain why I wasnt given a ticket this one time. Followed me for about 1/2 mile

A Douglas County teenager who graduated from high school with distinction last week is facing jail time and a hefty fine for putting blue lights on her car.

The lights, known as Cobra Eyes, are popular with teenagers who use them as decoration.

Devon Cook, 18, drove with the lights on her car for two years before being stopped by a Douglasville polie officer.

"He was like, ‘Do you know why I pulled you over?’, “No sir, was I speeding?’ [I said], ‘No, there's blue lights on her car [the officer said].’"

The officer gave Cook a ticket for operating an unauthorized vehicle with blue lights. Last week, after trying to plead her own case in Municipal Court, a judge found her guilty.

"I got a $800 fine, six months probation, 40 hours community service and 24 hours jail time," Cook said.

"She doesn't deserve to go to jail for this. I can't imagine my daughter spending a night in population with real criminals," Alicia Cook, Devon’s mother, said.

To keep Cook out of jail, the Cooks hired attorney John Sherrod to file an appeal. Sherrod said Devon did not break the law.

"The car has to be equipped with a device capable of producing flashing or revolving lights and as you know, from looking at the car, those are just small blue lights that neither flash or revolve," he said.

The Cobra Eyes lights can be purchased at most auto parts stores. They sell for about $10 and they do come with a warning right on the package which reads, “May not be legal for street use, check with your local city/state ordinance.”

"I checked with my resource officer at school and he said they weren't illegal," Devon Cook said.

Her mother also checked with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department.

"She was not trying to break the law or impersonate a police officer or anything," Alicia Cook said.

Douglasville City police said the officer who wrote the ticket used his discretion. The judge who decided her punishment said he could not comment while the case is on appeal.

11Alive checked with a number of law-enforcement agencies across Metro Atlanta on the legality of the lights. Some consider the Cobra Eyes illegal while others do not.

hey 2000dollar, i got a parking ticket last week friday, how do i get out of that one. i got busted at a known racing spot with no parking signs all around. so how do i get out of it ?

[AirAllen01]

Every once and a while a cop MUST recalibrate their radar, so if he hasn't done that then it can clock your car at the wrong speeds.

[2000dollarZCbs]

personal message me and show me what the ticket says, i need to see everything on the ticket.

[civickiller]

he wrote down 24. 46 or it could be 24.06 the writing is really light so i cant make out with the number is before the 6. also there could be a number before the 46, but again its really light so i cant make out if there is one or isnt one.
he also wrote down as a description, no parking

if u need any more info let me know

any slight flaw in a ticket should get it thrown out in court, even if the date is wrong.
