#7 Move out of any area with a heavy handed police force who feels it is their duty to stop everyone for every infraction.
I grew up in a small town with a bored police force both city and county. Between age 16 and 18 I was pulled over 12 times, given tickets twice. I no longer live in an area that operates like that. |

Example: guy drives the same route every day for years, gets caught going around traffic in the shoulder, then tells the cop (who sees him drive by all the time) that he didn't know that wasn't a lane  those are the type of people that get hammered with tickets.

I still remember driving with my speed demon friend ...untill we hit the town line for Claverack, NY. He slammed on the brakes
looked at me and said "30 means 30 in Claverack, not 31 or 32". Seems a bunch of high schoolers burned every new radio car to the ground many years ago at the po-po there are STILL on a tear. I'll wail up 9 and STOMP the brakes at the town line. Funny thing is theres ALWAYS a radio car lurking somewhere closeby...... |

I wish the police here would write more tickets. Crazy drivers put law abiding citizens at rish. Driver have no fear a ticket, and so they drive accordingly. It's like the wild wild west, and not just at rush hour. I can't remember the last time I saw a car pulled over for a traffic violation. |

If I did what the Officer said I did I usually just admit to it. People (mostly young) think there is going to be a Perry Mason style trial over you doing a California stop at a stop sign. I am just polite and say "you got me". I wasn't paying attention and "hey beautiful day today isn't it ". I just talk polite and treat them with respect. I have a clean record and don't drive like an asshole. I almost always get a warning and in the rare case I don't I go to trial, plead guilty and the judge drops the points and I pay the fine.
If it were a murder case I would keep silent and hire an attorney. For a simple traffic violation you would be surprised how just being a normal polite person gets you. I don't play the rolled up window games or all the other bullshit people do and rarely have any issue. I also don't get pulled over often because I drive sensibly (maybe once every few years). I don't sweat traffic stops and just talk to them normally and I am honest. Truth gets you out of more simple traffic violations than anything else. My .02 |

I wish there was some sort of program that allowed me to pay a couple hundred bucks/mo for the privilege of exceeding the speed limit by XXmph. That way, they'd get their revenue and I don't have to keep such a close watch for them.
It's all about revenue generation. If it was about safety, the fines would be $1000 for every 1mph over the speed limit - no one would speed and they wouldn't collect their speeding taxes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So, your local cops let you off with a warning almost 90% of the time, and you're bitching? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I grew up in a small town with a bored police force both city and county. Between age 16 and 18 I was pulled over 12 times, given tickets twice. I no longer live in an area that operates like that. No the local cops stopped me and every other kid to conduct fishing expeditions 90% of the time. It was blatant and obvious that they were doing it. One friend had a lifted pick up truck, every weekend he was stopped so the cop could check the height of his bumper. It was the same cop every weekend. Another friend with a factory installed radio in his Ford Escort was stopped on numerous occasions because his stereo was too loud. Burnt out license plate light, you get stopped. Snow covering part of your license plate and you get stopped. I was even stopped once so the officer could "check my registration". Not sure what that was about. At the time my mom was even pulled over a couple times for things line a burnt out license plate light. There is a big difference between "protect and serve" and stopping everyone for every little thing hoping to catch them on a bigger violation. |

That way, they'd get their revenue and I don't have to keep such a close watch for them. Back in the 90s if you were an out of state resident living in Michigan that is basically how it worked. Michigan didn't share ticket information outside of the state. So you could get unlimited number of traffic tickets in Michigan and your home state would not find out about it. A friend of mine, also from outside Michigan, called it his speeding fee. They also have absolute no fault car insurance. If your car is damaged it is on you to pay for it to be fixed. That again benefited out of state cars, you could hit someone and your insurance would not find out about it unless you filed a claim to fix your own car. |
