How to get out of a traffic ticket
#21737899 - 05/29/15 06:10 PM (8 years, 7 months ago) |

I got a ticket today for failure to stop at a stop sign, I think it is bold cause there is no way the cop could have seen me, he was hundreds of feet down the road and I stop for enough time. I have a past in my town and most of the force knows who I am.
Any tips for getting out of tickets?
And to make this pub related, share some bs cop stories

Show up to the court date. If the cop doesn't, you automatically win. If he does it's your word against his. Make a compelling argument.

Ask for video evidence like dash cam shots if it goes to court. Did you do it? Sometimes they have undercovers watching intersections, aka speed traps. If they already know you in a bad way you should be driving by the book.

Get a lawyer... should run you $300-400 but will save you money as you want have as high insurance rates for the next 4-5 years. Everytime I got had a lawyer the ticket was reduced or dropped.
Oh yeah and get a dash cam

if it's a local cop they probably won't show, they've got other things to do but if it's a state cop they get paid to go and sit in court and will probably show

Yeah. pay it and move from that town. Once the force know who you are, that's when they start keeping a closer eye on you. If they do catch you doing something (which they probably won't) they won't buy your stories anymore. If you happen by chance to be somewhere the cops got called and they see you, they will question you no matter if you had anything to do with it or not.
You drew attention to yourself. Move.

I don't know where you live but usually you have to send the bottom portion of the ticket back with your plea and a check for the ammount of the fine if you plead not guilty and even if you plead guilty. Then they will notify you by mail of your court date.Quote:

Local cops get paid as well for court time. So unless your local PD is inept at scheduling court days the cop will most likeley show. Don't give OP wrong information.  Quote:

I doubt this cop will show.
I am going to go to court
I am requesting a spanish bilingual trial
Show up dressed nice, ask for video evidence of it
He was literally hundreds of feet away. I came to a full stop. I just accelerated quickly cause I was in hurry.
I am going to do more research. I don't have the money for this shit

You will probably need to get the tape evidence beforehand. I dont think they will just have them at trial because you ask. There may be a process to get that evidence.

They will give you a trial no matter what and if you speak engish well enough it just may piss the judge off I'd advise against that. It's not like you're going in front of a jury It will be you the cop the judge/magistrate what ever they call them where you live. and a stenographer. Even if you lose you have the chance to appeal to a higher court but in the meantime they will have your money. Look online for ways to prepare for a traffic ticket be ready to cross examine everything the cop says. District courts are sometimes pretty sketch. For example the cop may even aproach you before the trial and offer you a deal where he will offer you something that will save you a blemmish on your driving record like failure to obey a traffic sign or what ever they call it there. You'll still pay a fine but it is usually less than the original fine. If that happens jump on the deal.

LOL last time I was in the court this indian guy made a super compelling case about a red light ticket that he got. He literally did all the math and physics required to prove that when he hit his brakes, he was already past the point of no return and that his calculated velocity wouldn't have been high enough to actually run the light when it was the red.
The judge just goes, you owe $600. If you can't pay the stated amount today we'll be more than happy to put your on probation. He looked so defeated. But I was cracking the fuck up.

Lol. They don't give you a trial for a traffic violation like that.

1. before the cop writes the ticket, offer to suck his dick 2. kill the cop, if he doesnt show up in court they dismiss the case 3. dont do anything to get a ticket in the first place 4. suck a lot of cop dick, as many as you can, they cant ticket you if their hands are on your ears, it's like a rule or something

cop bought an H&K SOCOM, we go to the range, got pulled over on the way but that's a different story, he shot it all day and then when he got home he cleaned it, he put the magazine in, cycled the slide and when the slide dropped it went off.
so he tells me about it the next day, his reason for buying the gun was how safe they were, slam fires were supposed to be impossible. so anyway, the gun goes off and he tells me it went through the drywall, through a stud, the siding, it ricocheted off the soffit and lodged in a utility pole

Aren't you supposed to get some sort of notification when your tags are about to expire? I didn't, and GOD FORBID, I had a slip of the mind and didn't think to check for a stupid sticker. Anyway, I get pulled over and this hillbilly douchebag walks up to me all strutting and grinning, takes one look at me and my tattooed friend and asks to search the vehicle (I said no). So, pretty sure I got profiled. He proceeds to interrogate me as if I'm some sort of criminal. He goes to his suv for a minute, then comes back and asks again to search the vehicle. I say "there's nothing in here, so no. I've got things to do". This is when his demeanor changes, and he proceeds to write a potentially life ruining ticket for the tags. I ask him if they're supposed to notify me, he responds like a jackass, I say "whatever, nevermind". We leave.
So, I go get new tags the next day and the lady is a decent human being and waives the late fee. She says if I go to the court date and show them that as soon as I was aware, I got the stupid tags, they might cancel or reduce the ticket. Anybody think there's even a remote chance of not getting the crap protected & served out of me?
Seriously though, what a friggin prick. He could have just as easily said "are you aware your tags are expired"? I would have said "I absolutely was not aware, today's memorial day so I'll get new ones tomorrow". Duh? Whatever. The man can get bent.
