dude that sucks. nice car
what was the ticket for? e.g. 130kph in a 40kph zone? he called you a complete idiot? you must have done something pretty egregious to warrant that comment. if you weren't completely out of bounds on this (doing donuts in a school zone with a bunch of little kids around), you should have had him call his shift supervisor/sgt out to the scene and talked to him about his comments and attitude. frog |

Wow...sounds like you got off real easy. The Cop must have been new or had other things on his mind. He could have really nailed it to you. If he didn't have radar, I'd fight it too... Good Luck

yeah, i would say you were lucky too. his comment was uncalled for, but he seemed pretty reasonable otherwise. did he actually tell you that he didn't use radar? maybe he was pacing you? was his vehicle calibrated? some states/countries can use this mehtod to accurately gauge your speed. not sure about your locale.
here's the deal, you might have a case but be advised the judge will side with the officer almost every time unless there is something completely out of whack. he could say that he had you on radar, even if he didn't. the judge will take his word. he could also say "look your honor, he was excessively speeding without having his licence. i didn't ticket him for that or have his car towed. i cut him a break and just gave him a speeding ticket." if this is the case, dude you have no chance. i wouldn't even waste my time by going to court. he could have done a field sobriety test on you (you had a couple of drinks) and you might have ended up in jail. LE officers are given a lot of discretion to work with, i think you got off easy. let it go and have a happy new year, minus the cash of course. just my humble opinion. have a good one. |

So, let me get this correct:
- You were driving over DOUBLE the speed limt. - You had "Had a few drinks." - You were too thick to remember your license. It sounds like you ARE, in point of fact, an idiot and it also sounds like you got off lucky. BMW Lawman and his brothers in arms here in Oregon would have hooked you up with a set of cuffs, towed your car and hauled your dumbass in front of a judge. As far as the asking you how fast you were going; in the US, cops ask that as a litmus test to see just how bug of a gaping asshole you are. People who answer honestly score some points in the officers eyes while the vast majority lie. Police officers do not like being lied to and they are also (by virtue of their job) pretty good at knowing when someone is lying his ass off. Honestly, I've been on enough ride along traffic stops to tell you that the only thing that matters when talking to a police officer is your attitude and honesty; he knows the answer to every bullshit question he is going to ask you. The only exception to this rule is the "Have you been drinking?" question. I don't drink and drive, so I rarely ask officers about this situation, but I know the general policy is that anyone who answers "Yes" to that question gets hauled in immediatly. Generally, if you are drunk, your screwed anyhow because officer discression goes out the window; so just always answer a flat out "No" to that question. |

Actually no, it isn't. A greater number of people die in alcohol related traffic accidents on NYE then on a typical weekend night. Police forces are usually more dilligent in weeding drunks off the road on major holiday nights. Quote:

Hey, I don't care what kind of Cop you are. No Police officer has the right to call you a Complete Idiot. Its not within his boundries. He can write you up, send you to jail whatever.. But passing judgement in that matter is wrong. I would mention that to the judge...
