A few legitimate ways to stop a police officer from writing a ticket

[moonman239]

Also, if you have an iPhone, the popular community "Trapster" has an iPhone app that will let you know when you're approaching a known location for a speed trap.

If you don't have an iPhone, they may have an app for Android.

$60 for a pizza?! I wouldn't pay for the (game) ticket that much.

I know wof only several ways to get a ticket

yeah, i remember what you drive

Who's going to pay for all this technology to be put into Cars ? it sure as hell wont be the car manufacturers not with out huge state subsidies !

Also as you mentioned for that to work you would need Smart Road Signs, and they would cost a fortune. Which politician would be stupid enough to increase taxes to try and implement such a system, It would be political suicide !!!

same politician that implemented carpool lanes.

My aunt found other way to escape getting a ticket! Get pulled over by a cop who knows her son (my cousin) also a cop.

I actually witnessed a cop on the phone getting a speeding ticket his mom got thrown out.

Hire someone who can't write as a cop?

You could also try showing him the previous ticket you collected from his colleague ten miles up the road, which will probably save you another ticket. I don't wanna think about what would happen to you though...




How about riding a bicycle? Do you get speeding tickets for riding the bicycle too fast?

.

you can get speeding tickets for going over the speed limit, no matter what you are on. As for the ticket showing to get out of one, i actually had to do this once as well when i had a headlight burn out. I got pulled over twice in a 12 mile trip.

And it should be that way in the other 49 states.

it is that way. It's called jay-walking. It's usually only enforced by bicycle cops. But again, calling on personal experience, i failed a day of driver's ed when some lady walked out in front of me between two cars and after i nearly hit her because she didn't look, i honked to get her attention. I was told "You embarrassed me and you just failed today"
Oddly this also applies to the "woman in a skirt" thing. The girls in my class with the highest grades always wore skirts to driver's ed. I remember Jessica Ramaley cruising at 70 in a 55 and then speeding up to pass someone. She got an "A" that day...

I do have a radar detector (valentine 1) and it has saved me a few times. It has roughly a mile detection rate. I don't drive crazy fast, but sometimes you don't have to be going too far over the speed limit to get pulled over. I have been in court and heard people having tickets for 6 miles over the limit...(like 31 in a 25)

more personal experience here: that's pretty much the cutoff although they can technically give one for less than that. Sometimes the cop will give you one for six over even if you were going faster. I was going 65 in a 50 and got a ticket for six over because it was obvious to the cop i couldn't afford the faster ticket.

A lot of cops don't bother if you're going 5 MPH over the limit, so that would prolly be why.
There's a town somewhere in FL where the cops pull people over just for going like 1 MPH over the limit.

rich retired people on golf carts probably complain a lot.

If pulled over do not lie and never give away anything i.e. “Sorry I was speeding because of…” but instead let them tell you why they pulled you over. At this point unless you are female and they are male and you have a great set of “you know what” or you are male and they are female (you get the picture). The concept is when most civilians have to interact with law enforcement it is a parent child relation in that we decide not to say anything, be stubborn or out of the blue develop log-arrhea (diarrhea of the mouth) and either of these reactions increase the likelihood of getting a ticket.

Preemptive thoughts for not getting a ticket (meaning no pull over by an officer) while for this example speeding.
Police are more likely to pull over a sports car than most other types of cars; the second type is an older under maintained car in regards to its outward appearance. A combination to avoid is an old red sports car as police will see suspicious written all over this combination of old, red and sports car. It is no different than how police know that from experience when chasing a bad person either by foot or in a vehicle that the bad person will take more right turns than left turns.

Many of the people I interact with are security officers, a third of my personal friends are in law enforcement. Coupled with I have taken several week long classes (average class size 40) in police training and it is interesting what is learn on breaks and lunch or afterwards having a drink in regards to their mentality of who to pull over.

please cite your sources. I do:
http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/redcars.asp
this provides information showing the red car myth. I took some classes as well. Mine were taught by a retired Sergeant. Six credits in criminal investigations.
the right-turn thing is new to me and i couldn't find any information on it, anywhere.
However you see a cop on your tail the easiest way to see if the cop is really following you is to make a turn. Now right turns are much easier to make without stopping, so i could see this.

The right hand turn came from a discussion while attending a week long class several years ago at American Academy of Criminal Justice where the instructor's name was Howard Webb. I have discussed this with several LEO and they agreed that the majorty of the time this was true.

For the right turn thing you might look into UPS. Left turns are slow and dangerous, so a few years back they started trying to design all their routes so that it was all right turns.

In California don't do that if the light at the corner is red Don't even do a "California stop" because you'll get perhaps a second ticket unless you come to a full stop before making the turn.

An interesting study from 1969.

i remember the fallout when that law was passed. They were putting in turning arrow lights everywhere.
