The most ridiculous ticket I've ever received.

[attyjackiechiles]

Call me Mr. BacktoBasics!! That Officer's actions are an infringement on driving rights. It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!!

[CosmicCowboy]

LOL...B2B he gotcha. the guy pulled out in your lane, you downshifted and punched around him. You gave him that classic Vette WOOMWOomwoom.downshift and then the BAAAAAWAAAAAAAA!!!!! punch that rattles windows. You know you did.

I love how you guys can justify anything regardless of whether or not it makes sense. No doubt that I could tell a story about being ticketed for jaywalking in a parking lot and some of you ing losers would offer a pathetic attempt to back it up. As if your interpretation of whats lawful or not makes more sense of the bull ticket being discussed. You guys are finding justification in the ticketing of a legal lane change because a man of the law says so. Great job comprehending on a logical level.

i could list several ST members off the top of my head who are like the ones you've described... and in many different threads here. it is what it is.

I committed no violation. Its not a violation of the law to push your gas pedal and change lanes. It happens every ing day without incident.

even if you are not speeding and you have your blinker on, reckless driving is a violation that's, again, a judgement call by the cop.

[ididnotnothat]

I thought about not saying anything which is what I promised myself at the beginning of the year when it came to confrontational situation because I have a tendency to blow things up for no reason other than a total hatred for people.

I agree that you do have a tendency to blow things up for no reason.

a street camera viewing everything you did in this case for us to look at would be nice.

the cop obviously saw something you did that he thought warranted a pull over.

So only your interpretation matters?

i live in cali.

how would you be able to get car registration, auto insurance, new license, smog check with tickets on your record?

Ha!! You've really got his number

[mavs>spurs2]

Haha every time I've ever gotten a ticket, which was only twice, I get an at ude with the cop once I know that there's no talking my way out of it. And every time they respond with something along the lines of "Do you want to go to jail?" Those arrogant assholes are always on a power trip and think they can go so far as arresting you just for voicing an OPINION, I was never once even remotely threatening. All the stories of racial profiling, giving tickets for fun, police brutality, etc. make me sick. Remember the 13 year old girl that got the beat out of her for lightly tossing a shoe? What about the stroke victim driving herself to the hospital that got beat and made her condition worse for not being able to get her information out quickly enough? Something really should be done about these pigs. Every time I hear stories about these gangbangers popping a cop I almost want to laugh before I realize that maybe this guy was in the small minority of those who actually serve and protect.

You and I both know that's not illegal. You can't ticket the Vette for punching it anymore than you can ticket the Kia.

...and I didn't do the proverbial I have a small penis revving of the engine. I'll leave that to the Mustang drivers.

[BacktoBasics]

I don't live in Cali but I didn't have any problem other than renewing my license here in Texas. Hence I paid my tickets when my license expired.

[koriwhat]

the police! ha... nah but really, the police.

gotcha. thanks for answering.

Don't forget I had one very much like yours and know exactly how to drive one...bet you never touched the brake and downshifted and let the engine rev and the compression slow the car till you got in the sweet spot...and bet you chirped the tires when you punched it and the big barrels opened...right?

[mrsmaalox]

So it's just an empty threat when they say they'll put out an arrest warrant if you don't pay your tickets on time?

I agree there are bad cops but I've also been very thankful when I've needed them. I'm not defending their actions just saying that there are good ones also.

I don't chirp tires. Its a waste of tread. If I was at the track I'd do a quick knockoff but even then I wouldn't burn them up.

Sometimes they issue a warrant and sometimes not. Of all the violations I paid I only had one warrant. Which I didn't know I had or I would have paid them sooner.

have you never heard of the warrant roundup?

usually happens when the county/city needs money.

I have heard of it, that's why I didn't understand how he didn't pay for so long. I'd be mortified to have a warrant!

Of course there are some good ones, and without them we'd be in alot of trouble. But where I'm from, a few years back almost the entire squad was terminated for money laundering and other things. I'd say it's about a 3:1 ratio of bad cops to good cops.

I wasn't talking about some bleach box burnout, Just a little quick chirp when the power hooks up to the road and the ass end squats. Just keeping it right on the edge without breaking them loose. I loved running it through the gears and getting that little chirp at every shift..

I will tell you with 100% honesty that I looked, signaled and dropped to second while changing lanes but did so without breaking traction or swinging the car around like some dangerous asshat. I know the type of driving you're talking about and I'm too old for that . I save it for the track. Had you been in the passenger seat you wouldn't have even reached for the armrest. I real car guy doesn't burn it up around town.

Would it really even be worth the conversation if everyone just said, "Awwww....poor BacktoBasics. I can't believe how horribly you were treated! Did you cry? Do you want a hug?"

C'mon...nobody is justifying anything, only considering that there may be a different version of the story that we haven't heard.

[Blake]

from what I understand, they only do the roundup for a couple of weeks....

so if you aren't home the three or four times they come by and ring the doorbell, then you are home free until the next roundup........or until you get pulled over.
