that is cool that you got a victory over this a$$holes! i would recomend you you get the sr7 radar detector and the laser jamer, this is the best investment i have done to my car! just last week i was coming from seattle and i was doing 142 miles p/h i saw a cop over the brige with his laser gun, then my laser signle went crazy that means he use his gun on me, he di not follow me at all i was sweeting cold tho!!! lol an i am glad you did not get bad points on your record.

 

When I had my supercharged GSR civic, I got an exibition of speed ticket for chrippin my tires, half cuz I had a springless 6-puck ACT and half cuz I was kinda gunning it. Anyways, got pulled over, cop comes up and goes though the routine, then looks at my boost and A/F guage (actully took out his flashlight and pointed it on them), then says "what are those for", and I say," I have a street legal supercharger." He doesn't ask to see under the hood or anything, but goes to his car, comes back and give me a ticket. So months later, I start to fight it with my lawyer. At court they have the cop go up (to the witness stand) and tell his story, then I go up and tell my story adding that I believe the cop only ticketed my cuz I had a supercharger and that if I chripped my tires, it was a totally an accident caused by my heavy-duty clutch. They have the cop go back up on the stand and go though his stoy again. Then for my closing arrgument, my lawyer stated a case that ruled if you chrip your tires by accident or weather, then its not Exibition of Speed. So judge thinks a bit, then say Not Guilty while she glared bitterly at the officer.

I couldn't believe it, I WON

I always fight my tickets, and have won 4 of the last 6. 2 were for paperwork errors that were made at the dmv. one was for a minitruck being too low. argued with the cop for 20 min, and finally told him to just write me the ticket and I would see him in court. pissed him off so he wrote, and I won. other was for speeding, he no-showed. I belive in pleading innocent and letting a judge sort it out. if a certain % of the population doesn't do this, then the police go "unchallenged" and can get sloppy at their job. If I go to court and am found guilty, then I pay, but if I am found innocent, irregardless of whether I committed the crime, then I think that serves as a warning to the officer/police department to bone up on their job/policies.

the jist of this thread was that he was caught speeding, but the pd/officer did not have a properly calibrated car. if we allow them to get away with this without being held accountable to the policies set forth, where else are they going to take shortcuts? I am sure that if he would have been found guilty, he would have paid the fine and moved on with life.....

 

The rules that are laid out for us say we have the right to go to court. Why not use that right? Might as well meet the people who's salary you are paying.

 

GOOD SHYT DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got off the same way for one my case when he said i was trying to run from him. He didnt show up. Second CAse This officer said i was neglogently driving. I proved that where i was driving if I was negligent my car would be totaled.
Congrats though!

 

you must not have an EVO or a fast car....there is no way to drive a nice car at the speedlimit! sports cars are not fun slow? you want slow go talk in the general lancer room!

 

Wow, I read through the first page and had enough, please people don't act all holy all of a sudden, the average speed limit in So Cal is around 80mph. It's no freakin' mystery that the most broken law in the USA is the speed limit, it's just something we all do. If you drive the exact speed limit and your not keeping up with traffic, your more of a danger.

 

good job richard...i always fight my tickets and have yet to even get one point on my license...

all you haters can blow me, as well

 

A friend of mine got that same citation driving his motorhome.

I once got a Loud and Unnecessary Noise ticket for chirping the tires on my 68 VW Beetle. I asked the cop why he stopped me when all the other cars leaving the bar were smoking their tires off. He said I was the only one he could catch.

 

Its so hilarious to me when you make these comments especially later on in the thread where you state you "rarely speed". If I read your stats on the side of your postings.... you dont even have a EVO!!! Get youself a fu<kin evo and tell me when you get pulled over... or yet when you dont speed in it very often.. I love spending my hard earned money on my evo and never use it to any of its capabilities.. whether its going way over the speed limit.... or hitting a off ramp at 50 over the posted speed. Your kinda telling me you go 25mph on a ramp that sure as hell should be at least 40-45. Your the grandma driver on sunday's that everyone complains about... i love it..

PEACE AND IM DONE WITH YOU!!

It's not attorneys who can speed without consequences. It's OFF DUTY COPS. My cousin is a seargent with the LAPD. He has a police ID card like all cops do, and it looks pretty much the same nationwide. He was on vacation in New York and was speeding in a rental car. A cop pulled him over. My cousin flashed his police ID and the N.Y. cop aplogized, "sorry sir, I didn't know" and let him go in his way. Cops call this "professional courtesy." I call it BS.
