Got pulled over today
For my back lights:
Gave me a warning (not even a fix it ticket), and told me why they're illegal. (must have red showing, and must be visable from 300 ft) Me being the a-hole I am to cops, told him its more red when the lights are on buddy. And You could see them from 300 ft, if its during times that the car lights are required by law to be on. He told me that its a $168 dollar ticket for them. I told him does he take cash? He got kinda mad at that, but told me next time I get pulled over for it, im getting the ticket... I just responded with would they take cash then? Hes raised his voice and said, and after you have a ticket for it, next time you will get impounded. I laugh, and say, I bet they will take cash He just rolls his eyes, and says have a good day. "later" |

LOL , Are you doing to fix it ? I wouldnt, When I used to get pulled over in puerto rico I normaly knew why (Tints) they give u the option of removing them right there on the spot or take the ticket, but not always, sometimes they would make u take it off on the spot and give u the ticket as well so I would just tell em give me the damn ticket but never removed them on the spot for them, hell no, or just used "My mother is a US MARSHALL and she uses tha car as well for her protection, and some times I got away with it I was telling them the truth anyways but some didnt care. Bahh

Wow I guess Nevada is hurting for money just like California is but usually they nail you for what ever you need to fix with a speeding ticket. And not a fix it ticket by itself. How Cheeeeeeesy
Just go borrow someones tails long enough to have the ticket signed and dismissed |

I used to be nice to cops, and noticed I ended up with a ticket anyway. I have noticed, from the time I have started being rude, I have gotten out of 80% of tickets. and that 20% would be getting a ticket for being in a handycap spot (didn't know it was, didn't have pole, and paint was VERY faided.) and he already had the ticket writen, when I walked out of the store. ...So if im there, I get out of the ticket. I know someday it will probably backfire on me... but intill then... flawless victory. |

I said that cause they have never stopped me on no front license plate or tinted windows by itself. The last ticket I had was for speeding and he added the window tint. He would of got me on the license plate too but I didn't have my plates yet.

I say fight it if you have the time. Even if you don't win just be cool with the judge and he will reduce the fine.

Have to agree with dg4rez on not being nice to cops, but to a limit. I've gotten out of tickets by using polite words with cops but in a rude tone. I guess it makes them think I've had a bad day and they just let me go with a warning. Solid eye contact helps too.

What's the point in being a smart a$$ to the cops? You will never win.

same goes for arrests. few years ago i got arrested for fighting at some bar and the other guy that goes in with me was acting all crazy and spitting at the police, yelling, beating on the glass in the holding cell, and basically being a complete moron while i'm there answering questions politely and cooperating but at the end of the day we both got the same punishment. from then on i've just kinda asked myself whats the point. EDIT: censoring expletives. |

your leaving out the part of, cops are normal people too. And just like at work, when something hard/ difficult comes up, you want to get rid of it, or get it over with as soon as possible. I have noticed being rude, and a jerk, they dont ask to search my car, they dont take 30min of my day, on a simple traffic stop. They get it done and overwith, as soon as possible. |

no doubt especially if the idea of getting impounded and being without a ride would suck even more.
