Default SUCK THAT!!! you radar gun idiots

got a speeding ticket a couple months ago. 1 month after my record finally got clean. long 3 years, it was

doing 82 in a 60. cop only wrote me up for 80 in a 60. bless his heart. as he sent me on my way with his sh*t eating grin.

called a lawyer, paid a fee.

DISMISSED!!!

GOD it feels good!!! weight? off of shoulders!!!

(this ticket couldve really screwed up some job prospects im looking into, and possibly the job i have. so i felt the need of a little extra muscle!)

ill have to do a minor penance for my lawyer jokes. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Paraphrase:

I was guilty.

I got off.

God bless America!

It wasn't the ticket that could have screwed up your prospects: it was you. You make it sound like this ticket floated down out of the sky and unluckily happened to fall on you.

You enjoy your day. You just made mine a little worse.

My ticket for going 70 in a 60 was pretty cool. Funny nobody was letting me get off with anything. God bless america and all men are created equal indeed

never said i wasnt guilty or that it wasnt my fault. But it's also the courts fault for not making it stick.

dont know how your day got worse, but if you really want to preach the ethics of speed traps and cops with radar guns, by all means...

sun is shining a little brighter today!!!

I'd like to disagree with your two most dangerous words used in poker. "I win" is much worse when said by a player other than yourself, sucker!

"dont know how your day got worse"

Because I found out there's just one more person in the world not taking responsibility for their own actions. I look forward to your next post:

"I was playing poker and the dealer caught me cheating. However, since the floorman didn't see it, I was allowed to keep playing and keep the money I had won. Life is great!"

actually, you cant really drive for anybody for anything unless your record is clean. like say, your local Truck (big rig) drivers, Fedex man, couriers, limo drivers, taxidrivers, airport shuttles, etc.

so i take it you always just pay any ticket without questioning it? is that right? you lay down and admit wrongdoing at every given moment just because youre 'accused' of something?

get off your puritanical highhorse. traffic violations are a game played by both sides. why else do cops 'hide' when doing speed traps? it sure isnt for use of deterrence. it's for revenue for the state. if it was to keep drivers safe, theyd be more out in the open. which is alls theyd have to do to keep traffic at normal speed. but no, they dont do that do they? some precincts have bonus quotas for # of tickets issued. good luck getting any of them to admit it though. a bud of mine is a cop and he told me alot of great little stories.

AND sometimes their guns are wrong. there's lots of info on the web about the BS of speeding tickets and what a joke they are.

and i am innocent until proven guilty, btw. and they couldnt prove it. that's the way the judicial system works. i didnt come up with the rules. i just play within the system's rules...gotta problem with that? i do have a right to defend myself when accused of a crime dont i?

also, it's not like i got off this scott-free. you think that lawyer was cheap? just because i chose to pay my 'fine' to the lawyer instead of the state AND my insurance company doesnt mean i didnt pay.

but my record's clean [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

anyone who pays for a moving violation unquestioningly, has their head in the sand to the reality of the situation.

b

ps...this may make ya feel warm and fuzzy. last week i was undercharged at a gas station by about $10. i went back in and made it right. how many people do you know who wouldve done that? especially with the resentment for gas prices being as high as they are. i sure dont know too many.

""I was playing poker and the dealer caught me cheating. However, since the floorman didn't see it, I was allowed to keep playing and keep the money I had won. Life is great!" "

but next im sure you'll agree with casinos that cardcounting is 'cheating' and/or unethical.
