Speeding Tickets

There is a very simple way to deal with the issue.... don't go over the speed limit. I've never had a ticket for speeding and I don't plan on getting one. You gain no time by speeding and if you do it's very little.
 
If you live in Los Angeles and you don't speed at select intervals you'll lose your mind out of aggravation. Yes, it's that bad here.

That said, I've only had one speeding ticket and it was a total BS ticket. The cop even granted I had a reasonable argument against him writing it. But I ended up with it anyway.

Should have take it to court.

I considered it. The deal was I was driving 11 miles over the posted limit on a particular highway where EVERYBODY drives 10 to 20 miles over the limit. The cop granted that was indeed true but that technically I was speeding so...
I don't know why the city doesn't post speed *** cops at regular intervals all along that lengthy stretch of highway. They'd absolutely clean up.
Instead they just hide one or two out on occasion like the one who got me :dunno:

Admitting that you were speeding was your first mistake.

It's the first question that I ask a client.

Hmmm. Good advice, for sure. But in this case I felt like my best defense was pointing out that EVERYBODY ALWAYS speeds on that highway. If I'd said nothing he'd have just slammed me with the ticket. This way I almost got out of it.

Wish I'd had Nikki with me :D

 
Never admit to anything. An officer's testimony is golden in court.
An admission of guilt to an officer makes things more difficult.

Speed guns are often wrong. It's on them to prove everything in court. Never admit to anything.

Never pay a tiicket.

Heh. That's for sure. When a very young man I had two cops escalate what was to be a ***** misdemeanor charge to a felony charge for one reason and one reason only: I was belligerent with one of them when he questioned me, in great part because he was goading me to be (classic good cop bad cop scenario that I was too young and naïve to be hip to).
In the police report the fuckers twisted and selectively edited my words (to the good cop) as a means to pursue the felony charge. As it turned out I wasn't convicted of either. But that was an invaluable lesson in terms of staying chilly and volunteering nothing in such a situation.

I've had police officers try to goad me and escalate the situation before. I was a passenger in my friend's car when we got pulled over when the officer turned his flashlight on me and was all "and you, I don't appreciate you throwing gang signs at me." I'm like wtf?? For the record, I wasn't throwing gang signs, I was rapping along with a song and expressing myself. We didn't even see the f'n cop, hence getting pulled over. I answered "I wasn't throwing anything, but SO WHAT IF I WAS??" at that point he made me get out of the car, was frisked and my ID run. The thought occured to me at that moment - this guy has a ***. I don't know what kind of day he's been having or if his wife just left him that morning. He could shoot me dead if he wanted to. Sure, he'd might be prosecuted for it at some point, but I'm still dead. </inner monologue> From that point on, I've been "yessir, nossir" with police officers, even the obvious assholes.
 
When I was 18, I left a nightclub, ( we could legally ***** **** at 18 then) a couple of cops were dealing with a guy that was publicly ***********. One of my dumb ass friends says " fucking pig" oink box motherfucker".
As we were leaving we get pulled over. I am sitting in the front passenger's seat. The cops assumed I had the smart mouth because i had the longest hair and was wearing a fedora. lol. The cops came up to me and not the driver and said " get outta the car stud". He had his baton in his hand and asked me if I wanted to repeat what I said..and of course so I denied it, I didn't say it, my dumb fuck friend did.

I wanted to tell who did it but figured it wouldn't do any good. He asked to see my ID and he asked if I knew ..so and so who was my uncle..and he tells me" because of my uncle he was going to let me go but he didn't want to see the car back on the beach until Monday..talked to my uncle and the cop dated my ******. Saved my ass.

After I got in the car
. I gave my friend hell reminiscent of Brad from Fast Times At Ridgemont High when he gets fired while covering for Arnold to go to the rest room. "I hope you had a hell of a **** Arnold!"
