when to court yesterday, almost got 6 months in prison for spinning my tires getting onto a main late one night with no traffic around. I got pulled over by 5 cops and thrown outta my car and they tore my car apart looking for something. Judge ruled 200 dollar fine and 20 hours driving school.......i'm pissed but better then jail time.
What has this world come to when someone can get away with murder but almost get sent to jail for spinning his tires.... |

Collin, thats gehy, espically since you have a st. Which barely has the power to spin out anyway. But its good that you didn't go to jail, but on the other hand why did they pull you over for spinnin anyway thats jsut dumb. Also do you still have the car? cause I remeber you saying that you were going to sell it.

technically if they searched your car with out probable cause you can sue them now. like if a cop ask you mind if i search your car you can say No. then he has to say well i smell weed or something then he can have probable cause to search. but for chirping tires ??!??! thats BS

the cop didn't say 6 months jail...the judge did while i was standing in front of him in court...i almost sh*t my pants! TN just came out with a new law that states something about if you see an emergency vehicle coming up on you you should pull over or atleast slow down. If you dont they can cite you for up to like so many dollars.....how f'in rediculous is that????

Cops often have a bit of bargaining power when it comes to searching cars. When I got pulled over while taking my friend home from our senior party, I got pulled over for having hyperwhite turn signals. The cops smelled alcohol in my friend's breath and gave us both sobriety tests and breathalizers, and they arrested my friend. They then told asked me if they could search my car. They hinted at being nice and letting me go without a ticket for the lights if I let them search the car, so I let them just search it. I later talked to a cop and got to talking about this, and he said that what they did(bargaining, essentially, to get to search the car) was illegal. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

dude i totally feel ya on that, the same thing happened to me. i was driving my friends home and peeled out in my moms accord. cops pulled me over and cited me and everything. when i went to court the judge said that the maximum fine for spinning your tires, or "exhibition of speed", is $1000 and 6 weeks in jail. luckily i just had to do 3 days of work project. the worst part about all this is that the night i got pulled over was my prom night. talk bout a night to remember. |

They ain't arseholes man, just do you little fun things elsewhere, like at a designated parking lot on weekends. Ask warehouses or ocmpanies that are closed on weekends if you could use their parking lot, because if you get written permission to do that there then if the cops happen to come around you whip out the papers and they leave.
Sucks you almost got sent to jail, but you were spinning your tires so whatever you did get you deserved. I'm not saying I don't do these things, I just don't get caught doing it...and most times it's legally done at the autocross meets and tracks. And Powell, in Minnesota and many other states...that's been a law for long time. Even if it wasn't a law, I'd get the hell out of their way because why would I would to get in the way of some ambulance or fire truck trying to save someone's life, or a cop trying to catch someone committing an actual severe crime. I figured it was common sense to pull to the side when you see flashing lights in your rear-view, maybe I was wrong. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT

they can search it as much as they want as long as its in plain site. Now you could have a backback with a human skull in it on the passanger seat and they cant touch it without your permission. anything they can see they can look at, only way they can get in the trunk or glove compartment is with probale cause ie. drug dogs, blood dripping from the backpack etc. or if you already broke a law, they can have a hayday. |

Not many companies are goin to say "sure, go ahead and go crazy in our parking lot, thats fine with us" As for autox.......there is no autox tracks within a 100 mile radius of where I live...maybe its like that for him too. I really don't see the bad thing in chirping tires when there is no traffic nearby... |

Dont get me wrong on that law, i just think it's upsurd that they had to make it a low in the first place. I mean how the hell is a cop going to stop what he is doing and pull you over to give you a ticket for getting in the way and then proceed to whatever he was doing. I just they could just call in the plates or whatever but it's still common sense like you said to get out of the way.
As for spinning my tires and almost getting sent to jail and just taking it like a man. The next time i commit murder or steal a car you can say that to me...but when i bark my tires getting onto a major road i dont really want to be talked to about getting sent to jail. There are far worse crimes in this world then barking your tires. For instance when my sisters car was broken into and her purse and phone and everythingout of it was stolen....not a damn single cop came. NO ONE! but when i bark my tires 5 cops pull me over and pull me and my friend out of the car and tear the car apart looking for "nothing." It's rediculous! Not to mention my good looking friend that is a girl has been pulled over 14!!!! times and not once gotten a ticket. One was for doing 85 in a 45. She said she just didn't know what the speed limit was and they let her off with a warning ticket. How ****ed up is the system! |

Same type of thing happened to my friend's Jeep. I was following one kid who was going about 70 out of a driveway type thing onto a real road (no turn, the drive way became the road) and my friend in his Jeep was following me. A van pulled out behind my friend and started to follow him (no lights, no siren, unmarked car) and when my friend stopped, 3 cops came out and took my friends out of the jeep and started searching the car. One of my friends told the cops that was illegal and the cops just brushed it off. Then they left once they found nothing.

THeres something wrong with this whole scenario. How can they give you 6 mos jailtime for something called an "unsafe start." Thats all it is...was there any charges against u? Did you not pull over right away? I just am failing to see where jail time comes into play with chirping tires. Even DUI doesnt land you in jail ur first time.

dude, I fail to see how it's possible too. Yes i pulled over, i let them search i said yes mam no mam...i did everything by the book. But thats what the judge said. Now i didn't get any jail time but he said it was possible with this sorta thing. I was scared ****tless....still am. I haven't gone over the speed limit since!

Well seeing your reaction, thats probably why the judge said that, I would be just as scared if a judge said 6 months in jail, so would any person. Honestly there job isnt just to judge but to try and correct the problem at hand, and idle threats work pretty good, maybe he was serious, but thats my take on it. |

K...so it's ok to murder someone when no one's around? That's basically what you're saying, that laws don't have to be obeyed if no one is around. All I'm trying to say is, there are ways around this...mainly find a track. AND YES there are companies that will let you use their parking lot, I wouldn't have said anything about it if I didn't do that myself. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT

No, its not ok to murder someone...use some common sense. The reason I said that is that as long as you aren't endangering anyone else in this particular case, I don't see the problem.

the reason it's a law is because you're endangering others by doing it. If you take the "others" that you are endangering out of the scenario (no one being around), then it really shouldn't be a problem. Your little murder analogy is kind of ridiculous. - aba This post has been edited by abatardi: Feb 22, 2004 - 2:50 PM |

I'm just bringing the viewpoint of the police, not necessarily my own there bud. I'm calm actually, and just trying to show you why the judges and the police will still give you a ticket, even if "no one else is around"...because it's a law and breaking it whether people are around or not doesn't matter, because to them if you break a law you broke it and deserve punishment.
Besides, if no one was around...wouldn't that mean the cops weren't there either? ..Again, just bringing another viewpoint to the situation. And honestly, your system is pretty messed up man if a good looking girl can get out of 85 in a 45, but that's cops for you. I guess it's one advantage of being a girl, and a good looking one. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT

I agree that there are a lot of dumb laws, but the one for not pulling over for an emergency vehicle I can understand. Well, mostly because I still live at home and my dad's a cop. He b*tches all the time about how people won't get out of his way when he's going to a call while running code(lights/siren). He had to back up his beat partner who was fighting a guy with a knife one time and people wouldn't get out of the way. So, just think if it was someone you knew who was in trouble and the cops, firefighters, or ambulance couldn't get there in time because someone wouldn't move out of the way. Just something to think about... Well, just read this part: "Dont get me wrong on that law, i just think it's upsurd that they had to make it a low in the first place. I mean how the hell is a cop going to stop what he is doing and pull you over to give you a ticket for getting in the way and then proceed to whatever he was doing. I just they could just call in the plates or whatever but it's still common sense like you said to get out of the way." Not only can they call in the plates, they also have it on video. All the cop has to do is go back and look at the tape. And the tapes aren't biased This post has been edited by CupCrazy38: Feb 22, 2004 - 7:59 PM |

Sounds to me from one of your posts that you didn't pull over right away. My best friend is a big city cop and while he would never give out such a pussy ticket - he would get pissed if he wasn't listened to (not pulling over). The search thing was probably boarderline legal - they would probably say the PC was that you were driving crazy so you could be drunk/high so they were looking for drugs. Although, I think they usually ask if they can search (you probably said sure) just so they don't have to defend the PC in court.

lol, no, all i'm saying is they shouldn't have had to make that law in the first place. Thats all. But no sense in arguing over it cause it's already been finalized and there is nothing i can do about it. :-) Ohwell, now i know not to drive anymore unless i'm ready to pay for it.
