Look at it from the positive. He just wanted a look at the Z!

Even if he wrote the ticket, a 1MPH over will be thrown out if you protest it in a court.

Seen a judge do that before with a handful of people who got speeding tickets under 10 miles over the limit. Call 'em up....talk....then tossed 'em all out. (I mean the tickets...not the drivers) :p |

if not, he's bluffing |

He's just doing his job.

Did this get you a good deal on the Z?
Just wondering why it's in this forum... :confused: |
no doubt he didn't really pull you for 1mph over. There's another reason behind it, either you were going more than that, you made a wrong maneuver, something else was wrong.
nobody makes a post about being pulled 1mph over and upset for not getting a ticket. there's more to the story. |

Typically you won't be found guilty of speeding if it is less than 10% over the posted limit. I've never heard of a cop pulling someone over for 1 mile over anyway, I call bs on that story. How would anyone expect someone to drive within 1 mph of a posted limit? Be serious. Even cruise control can't do that.

idc what you said something is missing in this story

And yes, while they can run plates as they follow you that's not the same as running your license, since they can't assume the owner of the car is the person actually driving it. |

There must be more to this story?
I live in Palm Beach County (south end) and am curious what agency pulled you over. PBSO or a city?? I for one can assure you, if that happened to either my hubby or I, I'd drop $5k to our attorney and make that officer answer for harrassment in ways he never experienced. When you are wrong, you're wrong. But 51 in a 50? My ***! Sounds like abuse of authority. How did he know you were going 51 in a 50? There are other ways to deal with a corrupt cop, but I won't go into that here. Come to think of it, 50mph speed limit in Palm Beach is rare. Out west on 441, certain parts of Palmetto Pk Rd are the only two that I know. |

For many of you who dont know. Tickets are written in lieu of bail. Meaning you really could be arrested but a ticket is issued instead for a later court date. Consider yourselves lucky. |
Well OP I'm going to have to say this Pic of ticket or it didn't happen lol. Now of course I mean this in a joking manner because that is as rough as they come. If it were me I would frame that ticket.

(ps I have a place in WPB so I know how things go down there too.) *Disclaimer. I dont wnat to sound like a **** to you. But it gets old when people attack police all the time when they do their jobs to protect everyone and ask for nothing in return* But hey I grew up in a military and police family so I guess I just might be more disciplined and respectful than others. |
I can see your reasoning behind this, but not sure an attorney could really help you out. 51 in a 50 is still speeding so they have every right to pull you over. It's a rough ticket to get, everyone will agree.

THERE must be more to this story. I have NEVER EVER seen a cop pull someone over for 1 MPH over the limit. It's a waste of their time.
OP, you made THIS thread http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...rt-button.html this week. this one last week (which was locked), http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...llowed-me.html and the week before which was locked as well http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...mo-vs-evo.html I am going to go ahead and raise the :bs: flag on this one.... :ugh: |
Well not to stir the pot, but in Mischief 3000 an Audi Avant wagon gets a ticket for 1 over. Now this is during the gumball so CLEARLY different circumstances, but thought I'd contribute that useless fact lol.

Now, if was ONLY a stop for 51 in a 50, sorry bud, that is when there is a problem. We must question the officer's motive and I can assure you that it was not public safety. If that was the case, they would be leading my example and drive no faster than the speed limits and not run lights while not responding to calls (very common down here). Officers are people and people are prone to fault for one reason or another. Just because they wear a badge, have the ID, and drive the car does NOT give them the right to claim 51 in a 50 and pull someone over. There sure better be proof (radar, laser clocked and speed locked). Of course, with such a small margin of 1mph over, almost any method of determining the vehicle speed would be faulted by the 3 to 5mph margin of error built into the device (radar, laser...). Sorry, but I am at the point in my life that I simply would not take it just because an officer said so, particularly if I was in the right. Hence, attorney (and a darn good one at that) if the situation called for it. Again, I'm police friendly and hold their position with respect in my eye. Not to mention the family connection. Perhaps as you continue to mature in years and experience, you too will realize that just because an "officer" (or any official for that matter) says so, doesn't make it the way it is. Just read back into other posts of the thread while tying this. Ahhh...see, the OP is a kid who is likely driving, well not good and dangerous, and the officer intervened to thwart his driving behavior. |

^ I'm going to have to agree here. 51 gives an officer just cause to pull you over and see what's going on. I understand the possible not completely accurate radar gun or such. But the fact is they can pull you over, and use that opportunity to do their jobs and keep people safe. As far as getting the ticket for being 1 over that is a tough break but it could happen, most officers would be lenient and not give you that ticket if they were to even pull you over for it in the first place. The fact still remains however that they can.

With the information provided in this post, simply doing 51 in a 50 brings a strong degree of suspicion to any officer who would pull over a vehicle for no other reason than 1mph over the speed limit. Actually, he could not prove speeding at 1mph over. Regardless of method of speed determination, the margin of error is 3 to 5mph, thus the case is thrown out. For this reason, people don't get pulled over for 1mph unless there are OTHER circumstances. Now, if 1mph over was the ONLY reason, oh, we have an issue and a decent, assertive, attorney would climb in and redifine any officer's gender in a court of law for such a petty offense that is not supported by anything but the officers "word". OK...bed time... lol night:driving: |

You just said your 1mph over unless their are other circumstances. You are proving my argument right. Now stop while you are way behind at this point. You have 2 other people against you.....you arent making yourself look too bright. |
