Doesn't know how other states operate, so he starts throwing out accusations instead of questions.<br /><br />That's why cops lose community trust year after year.

I'...@Anonymous(The one who doubts the tickets)<br /><br />I've been issued two tickets in the past two years for my registration being 3 months past due.(my own stupid fault) Each ticket was $200.<br /><br />Back in 1997, I was clocked doing 120 in a 60. I was in high school, and was extremely sick and trying to get home. I think the cop saw how pathetic I looked and did me a huge favor. He gave me a ticket for 99 in a 60, which kept me out of jail. That ticket, back in '97, was $250.<br /><br />If the most expensive ticket you've ever seen was $115, I'm curious... did you get pulled over for cutting off someone on horseback with your Model-T?Jedinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-61588222114389736832009-08-12T12:50:59.425-07:002009-08-12T12:50:59.425-07:00Anon 8:26, Come to Florida and I'll show you ...Anon 8:26, Come to Florida and I'll show you my ticket, I just got a $250 ticket for 15 miles an hour over (85 in a 70 zone) and they threw in a $100 ticket for failure to prove I had insurance (I got that one thrown out when I showed the county clerk my insurance policy). I don't know of any jurisdiction that gives a $115 dollar fine for going 30 mph over the speed limit. As a matter of fact, 30 mph over is considered to be "Reckless" driving in most states, which would be about a $500-1000 fine and mandadory court appearance and mandatory license suspension. I think you are full of $hit.<br /><br />Jack - retired copAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-31057442084398941492009-08-12T08:26:15.850-07:002009-08-12T08:26:15.850-07:00@Anonymous: Right hand turns at a red-light are 10...@Anonymous: Right hand turns at a red-light are 100% legal unless specifically marked.<br /><br />Also, I've never heard of a $300 ticket.

They can now stop somebody and fine them $132 for not wearing a seat belt here in California. They are putting up zillions of cameras that trap people who turn right on a red light (long an accepted, if not 100% legal, practice) and fining them as much as $500 for "running a red light". <br /><br />In Nevada, the cops are zealously enforcing window tinting laws, pulling over everybody with tinted windows and using a handheld computer to measure the amount of light the tinting lets through, with the goal of collecting more fines. They are raising our income tax rates to a total 57% with federal, state, and local combined here. <br /><br />The government here is desperate for more revenue. They've all but forced out private enterprise with incessant demands for money. So far, we haven't had electricity surcharges, probably because they know that people will simply buy solar panels. But all other fines are going up, and they are zealously enforcing traffic laws while letting prisoners go free for lack of funds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
