    "When Daniel Rocha walked into his local car dealership earlier this month, he never expected to get swept up in a legal battle.

    The Prosper, Texas, resident was simply looking for a replacement vehicle following the recent death of his son in a car accident. Instead, the already grief-stricken Rocha found himself in the midst of a feud between the police department and the Longo Toyota of Proper dealership.

    Moments after taking a truck out for a test drive, Rocha was pulled over by an officer and given a citation for "operating a vehicle without license plates."

    "He said this has been ongoing with these dealers," Rocha told WFAA-TV.

    Rocha added that the officer then told him: "'In order for us to make [the dealerships] abide, we're going to start citing the customers.’” He was then handed a $250 ticket.

    But is it fair for innocent customers to get caught in the crosshairs of an ongoing issue between police and dealerships?....."

    You've been pulled over that many times? I've been pulled over for speeding maybe 5 times in my life, 3 of those being before the age of 25, and was able to do DD for all of them without needing a lawyer

    Yup. He's the incel variant of Avante... sick.

    Still, on the topic of the OP, this is bogus. I've test driven a ton. I know in California they will only let you test drive around the lot and on the private roads. Which realistically means you can only go 35-40 max and can't test the cruise control, but, it is what it is. The USA needs less government and less policing.

    5? Those are rookie numbers. I once got pulled over 3 times on the same road trip from Illinois to NJ when I was 17.

    Going 82 on 65 in Illinois

    Going 78 on 70 in Indiana

    Going 77 on 70 in Pennsylvania

    I still maintain that the last 2 tickets were complete bull .

    I'm prolly at around 12~ speeding tickets myself. Only 2 in the last 9 years though and both were via speeding cameras, all because I didn't wanna use Waze.

    those two should have been warnings and fightable without having to pay a lawyer or court fees. Indiana specifically has a reputation, but under 10 if you're not weaving like a maniac should never be a ticket.



    that said, I never do more than 74 in Indiana except sometimes in da region on the 80/90/94 interstate east of Chicago which is basically the wild west where you have to sometimes go 80 just to not be clobbered by maniacs doing 90+. Most states I'll do 5-over and it's fine.


    If I'm a non resident I'm not paying out of state tickets and just being extra careful if driving through said state again or avoid driving in said state again if necessary

    Eh not worth the hassle of fighting it when it's an out of state court/location.

    I did that same route for 8 years every holidays (summer, spring-break & winter). Never had the kind of bull I got that day. I did end up getting a couple other tickets on the same route, but they were all for going 85~

    As I said, I had to travel through there 6 times a year. With my lead foot, not paying was not a good option for me.

    Yeah but just paying it is pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and also raises your insurance premiums for 5+ years depending on the insurance company

    It's definitely bogus to get pulled over for speeding under 10 though

    I will say though. I haven't gotten pulled over even once in my main car since I put on that "blue lives matter" bumper sticker in Summer 2022. And before that I was pulled over a bunch in 2020 and even a couple times in spring 2022.

    The thing is, you probably would have sold that 250K of bitcoin before it even got anywhere near even double the value, and you wouldn't have been wrong to do so.

    A lot of people (myself included) look back and wonder, but I know if I'd have bought the $1,000 of BTC I considered buying when brands started jumping on the bandwagon for PR (and when that one dude bought a pizza for 10K or whatever it was), I probably would have sold it before it even got to $10K in value, because at that point who's to say it's not going to all tank soon?

    There's a reason there's only a handful of BTC billionaires.
    Hodling is overrated though. You only live once and you're only young and healthy once.

    8 year anniversary since my only ticket, it was a Texas FMFR in Feb. 2017 that I had deferred adjudicated, but literally it was bull because I was pulled over for "not putting my signal on 100 feet before the stop sign" which is bull because it's arbitrary, I did put my right turn signal on and it wasn't right at the stop sign. 100 feet is bull because speed limits change, it was a residential area with 30-35 mph speeds and it was right after another turn so there's barely even that much space between making one left turn to put on the right blinker.

    That's funny 'cause I routinely went 60mph on that 35 bridge when going to Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio, which is right in the center of that deeply shaded bulls-eye near Cleveland. And never got pulled over.

    That said, was pulled over in Sandusky in 2022 twice, but not for speeding, one for making a wrong left turn onto the highway (no traffic) at like 4am one hot humid sticky night (I didn't get a ticket and I did get laid later that day/evening so it was all good) and then one for camping on the grass instead of the parking lot at the Meijer there off Milan street just to get some shut-eye without lights in my eyes... they just asked me to move, so it was all good

    Ohio is definitely a state I won't go more than 3-4 over the speed limit tops if I'm alone or the lead car.

    But this map sucks because the entire state of Nebraska should be shaded at least medium density blue. South Carolina is also extremely notorious for heavy highway patrol, and I've seen them everywhere driving up I-85 through there near Greenville. As for Nebraska, they love to pull over out of staters, if nothing else just to check for weed. Been pulled over a ton there, no tickets, though was close to one, argued my way out of one due to bad signage. Also, Indiana is much worse than anything in Chicago or Illinois in general. Illinois is actually pretty laissez faire on speeding, especially the closer you get to Chicago. Indiana on the other hand... 5MPH+ over or changing lanes too quickly between Gary and Michigan City, and, it's a pull over. Not necessarily a ticket though. But they ticket big box trucks in Indiana like crazy. The south in general especially Georgia is notorious too. I've had pull-overs in Georgia and Arkansas, but again not for speeding. Florida..... not so much. You can do 10-15MPH over easily and never get pulled over. The bar is set so high there that pretty much you have to go 100mph+ to get pulled over there. California it's similar but different, they have problems with racing motorcycles and they're another state that has strict truck speed laws (55MPH for trucks, 70mph for passenger vehicles) so they like to pull over trucks hard.

    Definitely wouldn't mess with the NJ Turnpike and turnpikes/tollroads in general are heavily patrolled. The theory being, if you can afford the toll, you can afford the ticket. But seriously a bullseye in Chicago? What a load of crap. You can easily do 100+ in the far left lane on the full Dan Ryan Expressway (done many times, and if you don't you get honked at and possibly shot at if you're south of the loop) and nobody cares except the speeder behind you, the cops have way bigger fish to fry down there.

    South Dakota I've never seen a single police car on the highway

    My guess is probably like any other state, many small towns like to use traffic tickets as a form of revenue
