I hate tickets

[Theyesman]

So I'm running late to work today and this bastard cop pulls me over saying I was doing 75 in a 55. I was soooo doing 70, but on with the story.

Now I know better not to argue with the cop and he issues me a for doing 74 in a 55.

That's a $105 fine and 4 points on my license. Bastard. Now if he'd said I was doing 69 in a 55 I'd only gotten an $80 fine and 2 points. I'm going to court to dispute it, but that's beside the point.

Fortunately, this bastard also has a checking account with the bank I work at. I closed his check card. HAHA HAVE FUN BEING DECLINED BASTARD!!!!

So he ruins my day and takes up 15 minutes of my time so I'll do the same for him.

Yeah. Totally.

Also, you have a crusty vagina in your avatar.

[Theyesman]

Sandy, but good guess.

[Latrinsorm]

That'll teach him to do his job!!!

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Yeah heaven forbid the officer do what he is paid to do. Fortunately the banks have footprints on accounts and if he's lucky he' question why his card was canceled and get you fired :)

[HarmNone]

Umm...skuze me, but the cop didn't ruin your day. You ruined your day. I'm pretty sure the cop wasn't twisting your arm to encourage you to break the speed limit. :rolleyes:

[Theyesman]

A: The cop was an asshole.
B: He gave me a ticket for doing 74 in a 55.
C: I was doing 70 in a 55.

So if he's a dick, why can't i be?

I know how the bank works, and no one will EVER bother to do research to find out who closed his card. Add on the fact that you're assuming I closed his card using my login information and that they'd then need to prove malicious intent on my part to find a reason to fire me... no chance in hell.

But thanks for playing. I love debunking the myths that everyone has to be held account for malicious actions.

Edited to add:

I forgot to mention the fact that the guy would have to have some money for anyone at the bank to care. No one is going to go on a witch hunt for someone who has 3 grand in assets with the bank.

Unfortunately people make mistakes all the time, and for someone to chalk it up to being more than a mistake would take entirely too much effort.

You would have prefered a 69 in a 55 which isn't what you were doing you were doing in the range of 74 in a 55 if you were doing 70.

Yep, you got it right on. If he's going to claim he's doing me a favor, then do me a favor.

[Theyesman]

Forgive me for not having much faith or respect in Cops. The last time I was pulled over was a year and a half ago after I was driving home at 3 AM on a thursday morning. I was doing about 40 in a 45 and a cop pulls me over saying I was doing 70.

About 7 hours prior I had had 1 beer before going out. I lhad nothing more to drink for the rest of the night.

First thing out of his mouth was: I had you clocked at doing 70 back there and you were swerving. How much have you had to drink tonight? My dumbass mentions that I had 1 drink 7 hours ago and he proceeds to give me the drunk test, followed by an illegal search of my car. He said I was acting "suspiciously" and it gave him probably cause.

SHIT! It was 3AM in the morning, I hadn't had anything to drink or eat in 7 hours and I was tired as hell. If I'm a little woozy I don't think someone could blame me.

So after wasting about half an hour of my time he says, "I'll let you go with a warning. Even though I clocked you doing 70 there might be something wrong with my gun. Don't drink and drive."

So yeah, COPS = BULLSHIT

[Alfster]

You do know that you can ask the cop to prove to you that his gun is on...there's a way that they can show you that they are calibrated right.

I can't for the life of me remember exactly what it requires, but I remember my science teacher in highschool talking about how he got off on his speeding ticket because he asked the cop to prove it, and the cop wouldn't...when he went to court it was dropped.

A bit late for that now though, as you've already gotten the ticket and didn't ask for it at the time of getting the ticket.

you know Theysman, id be whining to if I had sand in my pussy, like you (you might want to change that to "I am whining because")

You're a moron. You broke the law and are pissed because the cop did his job? Here is a suggestion for you, if you hate tickets so much don't speed, or get used to it cause you will probably get more before you die.


Edit: or buy a radar detector.

I'm just whining because I'm not above the law like everyone with a PBA card.

Glad you were simply falling asleep rather than drunk. The laws of physics change completely if you crash into me when you are just drowsy so no one can get hurt. :rolleyes:

Drowsy Driving

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conservatively estimates that 100, 000 police-reported crashes are the direct result of driver fatigue each year. This results in an estimated 1550 deaths, 71,000 injuries and $12.5 billion in monetary loses. In an effort to reduce this alarming trend in traffic safety, the Mid-Atlantic Foundation For Safety and Education presents Fatigued Driving programs to motorists throughout the Middle Atlantic Region.

NATIONAL SLEEP FOUNDATION STUDY

According to a 2002 a National Sleep Foundation poll:

Adults between 18-29 are much more likely to drive while drowsy compared to other age groups (71% vs. 30-64, 52% vs. 65+, 19%).

Men are more likely than women to drive while drowsy (56% vs. 45%) and are almost twice as likely as women to fall asleep while driving (22% vs. 12%).

Adults with children in the household are more likely to drive drowsy than those without children (59% vs. 45%)

Shift workers are more likely than those who work a regular daytime schedule to drive to or from work drowsy at least a few days a month (36% vs. 25%).

Sleep deprivation increases the risk of a sleep-related crash; the less people sleep, the greater the risk.

[LadyLuck]

Hence, one shouldn't drive while tired, which is what you proved.

Reality check. You speed, you break the law, and the sensors the cops have are very high tech and more reliable than your car's speedometor.

I know, I've fought speeding tix in court on radar, and I had top of the line Lasar and Radar PI equip in my car. Won three times (once the cop didn't show up, so my win. the other times were bias against me and proven to a judge), lost many other cases with my hot rod classics, and work cars.

Doesn't matter what alluminum you hide behind your spokes of tires (old myth to deter cop radars), or anything. Radars cops have are VERY high tech. And, VERY accurate.

Catch a cop sometime and ask her or him to explain how their radar guns work and the technology involved, most are willing to do so... and will even let you target the gun on a car. Especially if you say you are a computer geek and just curious, or, just curious in general as to how they work.

Challange it in court, and hear them detail how their radar guns work. Whoa. Bastards. I've lost a few on chase on killer surveillance to a radar gun that tagged me instead of the suspect.
