Got pulled over!, STUPIDEST THING EVER! Options

[PowellCelica]

Got pulled over for "wreckless driving". I spun my tires through 1st gear and that was it, testing my new clutch getting onto a 4 lane highway in the middle of a business area. 3 cruisers were sitting there waiting and I didn't see them. Pulled me over with 3 cruisers and cited me for wreckless driving. Searched my car and searched me and my friend. Not for speeding, or stop sign, nothing like that. Citation says, "Spinning tires and weaving wrecklessly with no regard for other traffic." I did spin my tires yes. But i had full control of the vehicle and i have a witness to testify that. There also was no traffic around at 11:00pm for a very long distance. oh yea, and i had a green arrow.....
No amount or $ on the thing and the stupid lady didn't even sign it or anything, but i have a court date. How freakin gay.

[vorcon]

u think that's stupid, i got a citation because my license plate frame, that you get from the dealer, was covering up half of the word TEXAS. damn new Texas law

[97sccelica]

the cop didnt sign the ticket?

that would void it

[1bwilson]

[FallenHero]

Agreed, if the cop never signed it, then it never happened!

[Coomer]

Yeah, you're fine if the cop didn't sign the ticket. Seriously though, almost all cops will pull you over and cite you for reckless driving if you spin the tires through first. Now getting a ticket for impersonating a police officer because of having blue neon inside my car, that's a stupid ticket.

[PowellCelica]

ok listen to this! i went back over the citation! She never signed it at all and the dat i committed this offense is October 1, 2001! YES 2001! and she never signed it. My name is misspelled and there is no freakin amount on here. This is the gayest thing ever! Did i mention this was stupid?

[FallenHero]

haha, my blue sony radio reflects REALLY well off of my aluminum interior... I hope I don't get pulled over, lol.

[macavely]

looks like she didn't want to give you the ticket..so she left all that stuff out..lucky you

[PowellCelica]

I hope to god so. I'm guess I'll go to court and fight it and see what happens.

[PowellCelica]

oh yea, btw!

New clutch is working really well! White smoked my tires all the way through 1st no problem at all. Luckly i didn't go for second.

[94TRDCeli]

i got a ticket when my inner and outer tie rods broke on the highway..and my car flew over in the right lane and i got a ticket for a wreckless lanechange..even though i had no steering

[PowellCelica]

[YellowTwo]

holy crap some of these tickets you guys are talking about are so stupid! i cant believe coomer got a ticket for impersonating a cop w/neon lights. that is totally wrong.

[Guest_Matthew_*]

once i got a ticket for no seatbelt

but i went to pay it the same day and the cop wrote the wrong price

the lady said it was actually more for some new surcharge...she couldnt read his writing...i said i wasnt going to pay it..she thought i was gonna go nuts or something because this red light started flashing and two officers came over and handcuffed me...i was like wtf?

so i told them what was going on and they ripped up the ticket. the lady at the clerk of courts office bitched them out for doing it...they told her to do her job and collect money if the ticket is correct and walked away..she gave me a dirty look and i left.

[afroman]

i got pulled over for "Racing and Exhibition driving" the cop put in his report that i told him we were racing and messing around he also said that he was doing well over 70 and i was pulling away from him. I was doing 43 up a hill it cost me 200 and 4 points on my license. they r just out to get us because some people are retarded and ruin it for all. btw my friend has a 1g DSM GS-T i know better than to mess with that.

[Akimbo]

Cheese and rice...nice fro.

[Tenchi]

Damn, and I thought the police around here were bad...

[all4sho94st]

wanna speak about gay cops i got pulled over for a license plate cover...cause cop said he wasnt able to see my plates clearly, just a bunch of BS

[blkGT]

[3FingersCelica]

Speaking of stupid tickets. Last week I got a ticket for doing 47 in a 45. 2 Miles over the speed limit. WTF.

[Drocay]

Now thats stupid.THe cop really was tryin to get his quota complete.

[PowellCelica]

[PowellCelica]

[PowellCelica]

Went back to the scene of the crime this morning lol. I left TWO BEAUTIFUL black marks for a good 5-6 feet maybe. Oh well, atleast i know what my car can do now lol.

I talked to a buddy in the Knoxville Police. He said because there is so much crap wrong with it it is a miss cite and I have to go to court and the judge will decide my fate. Probably do driving school or something. We'll just have to wait and see.

[Akimbo]

Scan the ticket

[PowellCelica]

k
give me awhile.

[PowellCelica]

Ok, kinda big but they are hard to see and i had to photoshop them a little. If you can't see them let me know.

[saleeka]

HA, you think thats bad? About a week after i got my Celica i was coming home from work on the highway, and a highway patrol pulled me over. I wasnt speeding or doing anything wrong at all, so i was like WTF? He came up to my window and demanded to see my license. I gave it to him and was wondering what was going on. So, he comes back up to me and he says " i dont think someone as young as you should be able to afford a car like this, so i pulled you over to make sure you diddent steal this car because it has no plates". I was so pissed! I got way nasty and said "yeah its my car and do you want to see my insurance for it too???" he got this annoyed look on his face and then i asked him if i could go now. He said to me "yes, but make sure you follow the law" and got back into his car....how messed up is that?

[Akimbo]

and your car is clearly silver.

[Inferno]

Well, you have a good point and it should be voided. I don't see any problems with you getting out of it. But you could always tell the judge that your foot slipped.

[Rivo]

bad color, bad date, officer didn't sign...and look! She smudged teh social!

[PowellCelica]

Yea shouldn't be a problem. I'm not worried about it. I think they were just trying to scare me with it. I'll go to court and they wont say anything and it will be a waste of my time. And ya that smug will work to my advantage! Atleast I think it will! lol

Can't have that floating around the internet now can we

[DoodieHead]

dude, look at the sex and race, she got it mixed around

i got pulled over cauz a trooper nailed me going 74 in a 55 and the guy was a complete badass. first hes like turn ur radio up, so i did.. and hes like "rage againts the machine, nice 2 bad they broke up" then told me if i had my insurance card and registration out by the time he got back hed take it easy on me. then he came back handed me my license, told me to forget it, and said "slow down' and took off across the median.

[YellowTwo]

[Coomer]

I've actually gotten lucky like blkGT did as well. I got pulled over for doing 55 in a 35 around a turn without my lights on(My parking lights were on from taking pictures and I was in the city, so I couldn't tell they were off.) The officer pulled me over and told me that our conversation was being recorded for future use in court! He acted like he was going to give me a ticket for reckless driving for taking that turn too fast, failure to yield at a red light turning right(My excuse for speeding was to not slow down the car behind me that I saw at the last minute after I turned), speeding, no headlights, no front license plate, and expired tabs(My tabs said July 2003 and it was July 27th so I figured it meant they expired at the end of the month, but I guess not.) He was very mean and intimidating at first, and went back to his car for a few minutes, which was probably the longest few minutes of my life, and when he came back, he gave me my license and stuff and told me to drive legally from now on, and then he left. I was so surprised and relieved.

[PowellCelica]

AW you lucky mo fo's........I hate you both! But you have to realize I live in a small community were in the last several years there have been tons of kids dieing from car accidents. So they watch drivers(specially young adults) very closely around here. Wrong place and the wrong time...

[gjunon]

well... i have gotten 2 tickets and the first one yes i was speeding and i paid up like a good buy but the second GRRRR it was 2 am in the morning i was on the freeway heading home from work i needed to get gas so i was getting off the freeway and this cop comes blazing behind me lights going so i pull over and am like WTF??? i know i was not speeding... so i was like hmm whats he want?? and he comes to the window do you know why i pulled you over sir? i was like no i dont officer. he then stated i was doing 85 i was like WTF i was not. he then asked if i was coming home from work since i was still in my uniform i was like yes officer i am then not 30 seconds later he has the odasidy to ask have you been drinking tonight SIR i was like WTF??? no! so he takes my licence and regestration wrote up the ticket in his cruzer then comes back and says sign here. i sign and he leaves i was PISSED so i read over the ticket and he did not radar me did not pace me and did not lazer me so i was like WTF and now i got my court date its 11-20 GRR i doubt i will have a chance but heck im pissed! and i dont want the point on my licence!

Yea, nice story coomer. Some cops are cool and some are d!cks. I guess you might get lucky

[PowellCelica]

[snadman]

Well here are my tickets/close-calls since I got my license in January...well even one prior when I had my learner's permit...

-Speeding 49 in a 35, on my permit. I got a lawyer and I signed an agreement saying that I would stay clean and get no same or similar violations within 6 months of the court date in exchange for the ticket being ripped up. Well, it never went on my record...and wouldnt have unless I got another ticket. So if I would've gotten a same or similar it would've been added plus the current one...so like out of no where two tcikets...luckily I was clean...

-Speeding 112 in 65. Cop laughed. What a nice guy! This is the only cop I've ever liked...it was about 1am and going up north to my friend's cabin. no one on the road...so I set the cruise around 110ish and just went straight there...normally a 3 hour drive took like hour and 45 minutes or so. I got pulled over though near the end, and he said he only pulled me over to tell me to slow it down a bit because of the construction site...wow seriously he was a nice cop. I wish I would've gotten his name because he deserved a thank you card in the mail.(I know that type of speed is kinda dumb to soem people, but for me it's heaven. I only do extreme speeding when there's no one else on the road...it's still reckless...but in this case I would only hurt myself so I would be the only one paying for my actions...and in this way I feel better about it so there!)

-Blue interior neons...twice in the same week...dar...no ticket.

-Map light on....no ticket.

-Not coming to a complete stop...no ticket

-Running a red....no ticket (Hell everyone egst this one, adjusting radio or what not...late at night not paying much attention...kinda glide through it. ugh...cop as nice tho)

All those times I got pulled over...only once got the ticket...and it never went on my record. Yay! I win. lol...kinda stupid but eh.

AND BTW...you may not believe the 112...neither did my parents. but my two friends in the car at the time could tell you it happened so yeah.

sweet, that's awesome! I wish i could be so lucky! Not around here though...cops are dicks and a half.

[Andason]

I've been pulled over too many times. I have only gotten lucky once. He asked where I got my exaust done, blah blah. Then he's like "I really dont care, it's not very loud, but some cop will pull you over and give you a ticket. Put the silencer in and you'll be fine" I was just like what just happened? Then he gave me a warning and for some reason speeding was checked on there too(he paced me) but didn't say a word about it. I was only doing like 3-4 over to show him I wasn't worried about him being there.

[gjunon]

if i get a lawyer what are the odds of success on my part of beating the ticket and is it worth it???
