Fighting BS tickets
Well, I got a HUGE one for racing on highway - no clocked speed, just a douchebag in a Celica GT with a fart can that downshifted and floored it while I was passing him... and we happened to pass two cops that dropped their doughnuts and pulled us both over.
That cost me 2 grand for an attorney, but no criminal charge and no points.
Now I've got a ticket for 64 in a 55, but he says he clocked me at 78, and wrote it on the ticket.
I have a V-1, and it doesn't lie; this guy just saw me in traffic, going a little faster than the flow, and pulled me over - I can't afford a lawyer, or the 3 points that will make my insurance go up... but I can't afford to pay court costs if the cop shows up and the magistrate doesn't throw it out, either...
Any suggestions?
I wasn't going anywhere near 78, and I think this guy just figures that since I was pulling ahead of the "normal flow of traffic" I'll just pay the 80 dollar fine and take the points, and not fight it.
I'm starting to really hate cops.

hey, I would just like to say sorry and I feel for you. I honestly dont know how traffic cops sleep at night! However I would never post without offering some meaningful advice. First off please check out the national motorist association. They have a do it your self defense kit that can help you big time!
http://www.motorists.org/
Next I would like you to join our forum on speed enforcement.
http://www.radardetector.net
We have a section that is devoted to helping beat your ticket.
Congrats on the V1 you have the best and I'll agree with you any day it does not lie. However Traffic Cops do lie, so if you cant afford a lawyer this time try the NMA way
For anyone here giving him **** about street racing which he was not doint, and have this misfortune to you I tell you karma is a ***** and driving a EVO it will bite you in the ***.

I'm glad my post made you LOL. Yours made my *** ache, because the school systems are obviously failing when it comes to teaching people critical thinking/inference skills.

Dear Mr Crabby Pants,
Had I thought you were racing the Celica when you got this ticket, I would have combined my two sentences into one. The fact that I typed two different sentences in two different paragraphs should have triggered your superior comprehension thinking/inference skills that, like you, I was remarking about two individual statements. Don't get mad at me for your complete lack of self responsibility and total patronage to a mechanical device that "doesn't lie!"
If it were me, I would go to court, talk to the DA and work a deal. Most often you end up paying more $$ but you get the points reduced, which works out to be a better deal because your insurance doesn't go up. And once you enrapture them with your tip-top ingenuity, perhaps, you ought to buy an additional V1 so you don't get caught again.
Cinseerlee,

Since it happened and you need to solve the problem anyway, I would suggest you fight it. The worst would be to face the cop who caught you and pay the fees. You stated that you can't afford a lawyer or attorney, you definitely should try to fight it first.
Good luck

I hate cops too. Just got a ticket for a carpool violation today. There was a car breakdown in the #2 lane and all traffic was diverted around. I merged to the carpool lane for about a quarter mile before i could squeeze back into the #2 but a gay bike cop happen to be posted on the side and spotted me as i squeezed back in. $460 dollar ticket ouch!! Doesn't hurt to fight it. Chances are the cop won't even show up and your off the hook!

"just a douchebag in a Celica GT with a fart can that downshifted and floored it while I was passing him"
Is it just me or did he CLEARLY state that he was not racing. I feel ya, I only have a lancer w/ some mods, and people are doin that to me all the time. Why do people have this complex of seeing a car passing them and they have to speed up and try to keep them from passing. I can't stand that, and 9 times out of 10 its a cavalier or sunfire w/ an obnoxiously loud exhaust. That sux though I hope the best for you.
