Cleveland?

[MJZiggy]

I'm so angry about this.

When you brood about something to the point that you ruin a perfectly good road trip, you know you're past time to just deal with it and let it go. Just because you do the right things doesn't mean life owes you anything.

It was an epic road trip. The Cleveland bars on 6th street were a lot of fun

[MichiganPackerFan]

Do you even need an attorney to show up in traffic court?

It's pretty funny that Partial thinks the cops owe him proof of speeding.

Call the number on the ticket for whatever law enforcement pulled you over, get the amount, and pay the ticket. And don't try to complain over the phone because outside of traffic court, no one gives a shit and no one can or will do anything about it. Even in traffic court, no one gives a shit and no one will do anything other than offer to drop the points. You're going to pay. Or go to jail, then pay. Or you can go to traffic court, sit around for a few hours, complain to some judge who hates his life for having to do traffic court, have him drop the points, then pay.

Next time be a little more aware of your surroundings when you're driving and you won't have this problem. You aren't a victim of this cop. You're just another guy who got pulled over for speeding.

How the fuck do you get pulled over for speeding when the cop is in front of you?!? How can he write me a ticket without a radar reading?

He wirelessly hacked into your iPhone and read the GPS. That cop must have had a vendetta against Apple fanboys.

I should try to get that copped relieved of his duties. He was a complete asshole.

You do realize that many cop cars have more than one radar gun in the car and aim them ahead and behind at the same time? How else would they be able to sit on the shoulder and monitor traffic moving in the same direction. Never mind, you clearly don't have any clue or you wouldn't be getting so worked up about it. Bottom line is, whether you were technically speeding or not, if you decide to take it to court it will be your word against the cops in some courtroom in BF, IN. Who do you think the judge or jury is going to believe? Write this up as one of life's little lessons (moral: the world doesn't give a shit about you) and move on.

He's aiming when he's driving at 60 mph? Where is his reckless driving ticket?

I know I'm going to get my ass served. It's just fricking bullshit. I wasn't speeding recklessly (70 in a 65 in BF, Indiana). My problem isn't with that, it's with how he was being a total asshole.

What cop isn't? Actually part of their job description.

You have seen those radar guns mounted on the side of cop cars, right? How long have you been driving for? Was this your first road trip in life?

I thought you said you got ticketed for going 70 in a 55. (Which, by the way, suggests that you probably weren't paying attention to the "reduced speed ahead" signs that are ALWAYS posted on the interstate when going from 65 to 55, and that you probably were thinking that since the cop was going 70 you could go the same speed with impunity. Let that be life lesson #2: The fact that a cop is speeding doesn't mean he won't pull you over for doing the exact same speed. In fact, it makes it even more likely that he'll pull you over (for trying to keep up with him).

Some cops are assholes. Dealing with them sucks. Getting worked up about it just makes it worse. It makes you feel cheap and look pathetic. Suck it up and consider it one (I'm guessing) of your first initiations to the world of driving.

[Deputy Nutz]

I don't believe the story in the first place. Oh I believe Partial got pulled over, but certainly not in the fashion he is describing.

[retailguy]

It will probably be easier to get out of the speeding ticket than it will be to get your missing mac rebate.

There might be more truth to that than first meets the eye. Guys like Partial are a vital source of income for some of these speed traps.

I don't really think they're protecting or serving anyone other than some city bean counters with this kind of crap.

A couple appropriate lines from the Shit my dad says Twitter

"Just pay the parking ticket. Don't be so outraged. You're not a freedom fighter in the civil rights movement. You double parked."

"Son, people will always try and fuck you. Don't waste your life planning for a fucking, just be alert when your pants are down."


And I'm sorry, the reduced speed ahead signs from a 70 to a 55 are NOT always as visible as people think and their placement CAN be a source of revenue.
