CHP asks why I was driving 88MPH? I told him I was trying to get back to the future, still got ticket....
Ddaddy
Just doing what I do
He agrees with it.as well as you have.... you judged the same circumstance with the same info I have. And don't worry about what my God considers, he was brought before the unjust law of his time also
What's your God think about you giving someone the finger in post 13????

I know I'm right....
I drove Dads SC400 from San Antonio to Irvine and we averaged about 95 the entire trip, never saw a cop. 2pm to 7AM cannonball run. I understand AZ used to send speeders tickets in the mail from Radar camera traps but the car wasn't in my name yet so ...... ? But I see 3-4 daily on my 30 minute commute. And no Gringo in Mexico gets a ticket because they pay it off on the spot.....

No, in Ohio a cop has to have probable cause to make a stop. He lied about probable cause not knowing that I had knowledge that he was wrong.
If I had been drunk, the case would have been tossed as there was no legal reason to stop me in the first place. My Atty told me that he's gotten and seen a bunch of DUI's reduced to reckless driving or dismissed altogether due to an illegal stop.
I don't like drunks on the road, but what I don't like, even more, is my 4th Amendment rights violated.
My light wasn't out, I knew that, he no reason to suspect that I was drinking, as I wasn't. I wasn't driving erratically or dangerously, he observed me come to a complete stop at a sign, used my signals both on the right turn and the left turn. The only thing I was doing was driving on a rural road at 2:00 am. He didn't smell alcohol on my breath as I wasn't drinking, (actually I have never in my life took the 1st sip) I wasn't slurring my speech, nor was stumbling when I walked to the rear of the car. BTW, he wouldn't have known any of those factors if he hadn't illegally pulled me over.
So, to sum up, you're wrong on this, while not prosecuted, I was certainly persecuted, my rights were violated and when it was reported, nothing was done.
There is no law in Ohio that states that a peace officer can detain any person without probable cause. He didn't have it. If fact he (knowingly) lied about his probable cause. So, the law does not allow for that. There was a crime committed, twice, and I was the victim. there's nothing fair about that at all.
Well stated !! And exactly, there was a crime, but it was committed by the enforcer of the law! And no, I'm not against the police, but there are bad in every profession. Doctors, teachers, pastors, etc and..... and the police! I'm ok with calling them out when intentional misconduct is performed!

I got TWO tickets in Iowa last year. First time in at least eleven years, and they were both total bullshit.
So, I go out of my way to make sure that Iowa doesn't get a dime of my money. Started shopping Midway USA instead of Brownells, buy my gas at QT instead of Casey's, and drove from Missouri to Minnesota without setting foot in Iowa once, and it was beautiful!
**** Iowa. Iowa residents are cool; city/county government's in Iowa can blow me.

Yeah about five six years ago I had an old Chevy truck that had a cracked windshield and it was Saint Patrick's Day and you know why they pulled me over. of course as I was pulling into my apartment complex at the time. So the whole ball of Wax in front of all my neighbor. Sniffing in my window telling me why He pulled me over because of the cracked windshield. $10 on any gases of what is first question was?? Have you been drinking? When I told him I had close to 10 years sobriety you could see all the wind drop out of his sails and the light fall from his eyes. He told me to congratulations get the window fixed and have a good day.

Yeah this was my argument at my very first radar ticket when I was a kid. They first started using automatic photo radar here probably about 30 years ago.
Yeah the lack of human compassion didn't work! LOL
What pisses me off is the officers that feel the need to ask you where you were, where you are going, etc. You are under NO obligation to answer those questions. It is not required by law to do so.
The **** if it is any of their business where I have been. I am always sober when driving. I do not weave. My speed does not fluctuate wildly.

I was a CHP academy graduate and officer (Badge #10481) for a short time in South Los Angeles in 1983. I got "washed out" during field training. One of the reasons was my driving was considered safe but too conservative. I drove a Porsche 914 to the office, then got into a doggy 1980 or 1981 Dodge Diplomat 318 patrol car. I guess I had a hard time making the transition. The speed limit back then was 55 mph, but during the morning LA commute, traffic was moving about 15 mph.

In Ohio, most cities that have speed cameras don't own, operate, maintain or collect fines from the cameras. The cities receive a percentage of the fines, a private company receives the rest. The typical line is "its about safety, not revenue." I call B/S.

The reason why officers ask so many questions is that they are trying to get you to exhale. This lets your breath out so they can “smell” alcohol on you.
An officer DOES need probable cause to pull you over, driving fast/too slow, light(s), expired tags, erratic driving, meets the description of a car doing (fill in the blank), and so on. My buddy is a CHP Officer and he tells me that there has to be a reason for the stop otherwise it’ll get tossed in court. Now I’m sure there’s other reasons, this is just what I remember him saying.

It's been a long while since my last ticket but yeah barely see any cops here in socal due to cut backs. Which sucks sue to people crossing the streets anytime and anywhere they want, and when you do see a cop they don't do crap. A lot of places has those camera's that issued tickets but now they are gone or just used to try and help slow people down but you don't get a ticket due to them being taken to court and fighting them and winning, technically there has to be a officer on site and cameras don't warrant a true person on site to issue a ticket. From what I heard.

I got a ticket on my bike once.
Careless And Impudent - 'leaning back and forth within my lane'.
I told the cop I wanted to be sure and use up the tread on the sides of the tires. I still got it tossed.

Nope, sorry. This is not Nazi Germany. In this country when cops contact you THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE a good idea that
a crime was commited..........not just a feeling, a hunch, guesswork, or a wish
and that YOU the guy they are contacting, is involved
NOW SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS!!!!
No, it IS them vs us. Cops are the ONLY industry that employs an army of armed personnel, with guns, clubs, chemical weapons, who have the authority to legally kidnap you, detain you for (sometimes) hours, cause financial and other hardship, whether guilty or innocent, biased and supported by a court system who almost always buys a cop story.
MANY traffic laws are nothing more than a local cash cow, and have little to do with safety, especially when speed limits are kept ridiculously low through some small cowtowns.

I know I'm right....
What the problem officer?
You were weaving in your lane (probable cause right there, no camera (back then) to disprove this)
no I wasnt
yes you were. May I see your License, registration and insurance card....
Im an illegal alien, I have none of those
Oh, sorry (bowing). I dont want to take your only source of income away from you. Your free to go
"....A new law takes effect Sunday in California that prohibits police from impounding cars at sobriety checkpoints if a driver's only offense is no license.
The practice has hit illegal immigrants hardest, since they haven't been eligible for a license in the state since 1993..."
Calif. bans car tow practice that hit illegal immigrants
