Speed Trap Flashing..

gurneyeagle · 08-27-2011, 06:14 PM

Whether a ticket, if ever written, would hold up in court is really irrelevent. The fact that a trooper could pull you over for a chat is enough to make me careful when/if doing it.

When I was stopped, the trooper was professional, but pissed. The check of my registration took about 20 minutes and scared the sh1t out of a 21 year-old college student that was 600 miles from home.

That was in a 1980 VW Scirocco. I'm sure a 370Z might draw even more ire. Some of you "legal eagles" want to push it, go right ahead.

Just curious, of all the guys giving legal opinions, how many of you guys are attorneys?

you dont have to be a attorney to give any kind of advice. Im sure you've given advice on a various amount of topics all your life.

If someone wants to take other peoples "advice" at 100% fact, thats their damn problem, not the fault of anyone giving their opinion or advice.

I strongly disagree.

Giving you opinion is one thing, commenting like you know what you are really talking about when you aren't qualified to do so is different. Whether someone wants to then take that advice is "their own damn problem".

There are some extremely smart guys on the board, but I'm not going to take advice from them on how to handle an issue in a court room unless they are a qualified attorney. If you really aren't qualified to give advice, one might be better off refraining from doing so.

If someone asks for my advice on a subject that I know about, I'll give it. If I don't know anything about the subject, I'll refer them to my wife since she knows everything.

yeahhhhh wats up with the police officers that speed and run lights for no reason when they obviously arent chasing anyone nor do they have their sirens on, theres gotta be a way citizens can get these law breaking cops off the road.

cus heres the issue.

If you wanna pull over a cop, then you should be someone who has never broken the law either.

AKA we are all guilty, we all just wanna moan and cry and bitch when we get caught.

Everyone always comes online and goes "Maaan this effin cop pulled me over and i wasnt speeding and he was a **** and said i was doing 20 over. but i wasnt speeding man at all" yeah.... im sure 99.9% of those stories are BS.

We all speed, we all know it when we do, we just still like to get pissed when we get pulled over and then always say Cops are dicks.

nmjaxx9 · 08-27-2011, 10:26 PM

I agree, im not saying i always follow the rules

, but seriously some cops do abuse their privileges, ive seen cops speed on residential roads, run red lights, run through stop signs, some cops just dont care. I say as a individual who is suppost to uphold the law, they should be role-models to the citizens of the community, they cant expect to break the law and fine people who do the same thing, sounds hypocritical to me.

Oh c'mon. It's not rocket surgery. Anyway, you'd be nuts to go to court with only internet advice. If you don't happen to know your way around the legal system, and you apparently don't, then you're going to be hiring an attorney anyway, right?

I'm not an attorney. Don't take legal advice from me. But I'm just running the scenario here. If you plead not guilty to anything, even a traffic ticket, you have to put up some kind of defense. You can't just sit there and be silent and hope that the prosecutor blows it. The judge is likely to get pissed for wasting his time. Not good when it comes time to levy the fine.
