Just gotta be white, and not be an asshole. I got out of a 20mph over ticket because I pulled over an exceptional amount so the cop didn't have to walk so close to the highway.

1. Warning
2. 82mph in a 65mph (but he gave me a seatbelt ticket instead, he was a nice guy)
3. Warning
4. Warning
5. 73mph in 65mph (Ohio Highway Patrol, go figure...)

>pulled over four times
>never let off with a warning
God damn spic cops

Recently got popped for 88 in a 55.
There's been others before that, but fuck if I remember them.

Get pulled over doing 50mph in a 30 zone. $250 ticket. Cop also has to go over how he could arrest me for reckless driving, and acts like he's doing me a favor.

>cutting off cop with emergency lights flashing
>Just gotta...not be an asshole.
Right.

The end, only ticket I've ever gotten. Also ran a speed trap in my dad's company car once but I don't know what happened to that, and I ran a speed trap in my dad's car once, but apparently it wasn't in operation at the time. Somehow managed to avoid tickets in my own cars so far.

Are you black? Was he black? What guns did you have to show off?

I'm white, he was black.

If I remember correctly I had a P250 and a 1911.

Fair number of fix-it tickets when I was younger. only one moving violation, 87 in a 75 crossing North Dakota. Cop put it down as 85, as >10 over is a much bigger fine. Now I spend all day going 20mph+ over on a motorcycle, but still the ND was the only time I got tagged in nearly 20 years on the road.

>waiting 1.5 years to do something that takes 5 minutes
For what purpose

You can't just not bring your license with you because you're going to the gym.

Heading to the gym 4am
Speeding since roads are empty
Notice cop car ahead, too late to slow down
He was probably watching a movie on his ipad anyway...
Pulls me over, says I'm speeding I say ok, just give me a ticket
Got a ticket, about $110 which isn't bad and I could care less....
Late to the gym btw, and fucked up my workout..

well he is alive so...

are you me?

Police won't be seen faking their jobs on the highway.

Non-American cops don't count. American cops are hard-ass douchebags with authority complexes.

Don't you fight anything?

Only got one for a rolling stop when I first started driving.
Got a warning for apparently speeding over the hoover dam at night. Honestly have no idea how fast I was going, who the fuck tries to speed on the fucking thing unless they're suicidal?

Fighting that, already put in a not guilty plea, second hearing is at the end of August. Sorry for fearing for my life when I was passing through a part of town known for crazy drug addicts and gang activity.

What the fuck? DOT inspections?

i dont think they had radar on since they have to prove i was speeding

also why the fuck did i even slow down after cops drove by, theres no chance they could catch up if i kept going

Police in Australia are worse than anywhere else I've been and encountered police: Africa, UK, USA, Cypress, Spain, Thailand, Cambodia, Portugal, Italy, New Zealand.
They are literally paid thugs.

>tfw rural nz and cops knock 15km/h off every time i've been pulled over
>one even asked how fast I'd gone max and shook my hand when I said over 200km/h

i'm sorry user

kek

The most I've gotten away with was 160 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.
Breathalyzer negative because I'm not a degenerate.

Police generally never give me a hard time.
The trick is to treat them like human beings, not authority figures or enemies.

$270aud for incorrectly displayed p plates

a week ago

and $680aud for going through an empty intersection 1.7 seconds after light went red

My encounters with UK cops were a bit like this.
I got the impression they were genuinely good people.
Australian police in comparison are literally like an angry gang of thugs.
When it comes to real police work they're like toddlers.
Read about the police storming the cafe in Sydney recently, they shot seven people including the terrorist holding them hostage, after more than half a day of just watching him.
They did more damage than the terrorist, just went in guns up and triggers down lol
This is what I'm talking about.
The only thing they seem to be able to do is hassle people for minor shit.

Sadly life isn't like OreImo. I'm trying to find the ticket she wrote me. It was full of all sorts of memes and shit. She wrote down that I was going over 9000 and said I was trying to do a barrel roll on the highway. This was back in like 2007.

>Cypress
You mean Cyprus?

You serious, friendo?

It's not that hard when your car weighs a tonne and you have 200Nm.

Google translate also translates from romanized greek as it seems.

You deserved that one

Inexcusable and frankly stupid with all the abbos on the road

in a 60

Okay I'll give you that one

Depends what state you live in. In my state, we have what's called a 48 hour law, where as long as you bring the license to the police station within 48 hours you don't need it when you get pulled over.

1st time got pulled over for doing 60mph in a 40mph and got a $120 ticket
2nd time I going 42 in a 25mph and got let off
3rd time I got a ticket for going 90mph in a 70mph it was only $120 too

>You can't just not bring your license with you because you're going to the gym.
Am I going to bring a lock just to lock my license in a locker? Or just throw it in there and hope for the best?

>this kills the insurance rates

ya it's pretty bad

Can you even drive? Do you have a license? Will anyone insure you?

Also what the fuck nigga, that's one thuggish rap sheet, jesus christ.

>theft
>public intoxication

How degenerate

How the hell much was the original ticket if they offered you $200 as a bargain? Also for the future you really don't need to higher a lawyer for that shit, you can just go in yourself and they offer everyone bargains for tickets because they don't want to fill up their docket with minor shit like trials for traffic tickets.

>most recent offense is not owning insurance

LIKE POTTERY

Yeah but Officer it's not my fault, my prior convictions made insurance too expensive. If anything this is YOUR fault.

I kek'd; you are Public Enemy No. 2, or some such individual.

Ya im all clear at the moment licenced and insured.

I got that ticket right after I T-boned a pregnant bitch in a parking lot.

NIGGER PLEASE

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Speeding tickets in New York have a $300 maximum for the first conviction, plus local courts can up the fine of anything by up to $93 for processing/court fees. So you're at $393 for the ticket alone.

Any speeding ticket where they're claiming 20mph+ or more over is considered grounds to increase insurance right away (for lesser speeding, 3 or more occasions is enough if it's under 16mph per offense).

For said speeding ticket, your insurance increase will generally be at least 15% for the next five years, plus the loss of a "good driver discount" for not having any major violations. So you can easily spend $100-$200 or more per auto insurance renewal every six months for a single speeding ticket of 16 or more over, or two or more tickets for less.

My local court/PD has a huge chip on their shoulder from the state trooper station being in our town. They handle any serious investigations/issues leaving peanuts for the overpaid, former NYC cops in a safe, boring town, which makes the cops into total jackasses looking "for an excuse". Basically, you don't have the tactic of showing up and not expecting to be railroaded, or moving the court date and expecting the cop not to show up 2 minutes away from his station.

New York is a liberal shithole and they use ticket revenue to line pockets and yet we are STILL BROKE.
