Another Damn Ticket!
 
Well last month I got a ticket for going around a slow right turner and crossing the yellow line. Im taking that one to court.

Two nights ago I was driving on a open strech of road in Ojai here, not a car in sight. ~10pm. I was thinking about this robbery and all that bullshit, and just driving along, and I see cop lights.

I pull over, and I am sooo sickeningly nice to this female officer (for lack of another word I would like to use). I asked her how she was doing etc. She asked me if I knew how fast I was going, I said honestly no, my speedo doesnt work but I believe it was a little over 40 (in a 35zone).

She left and came back, and I explained to her, I wasnt paying attention to the speed, I was thinking about this damn robbery, and its just been plaging my mind. I then told her it would be a really big favor and I would really appreciate it if she could just write me a warning. She just said "the tickets already written" she didnt give a **** what I said, and just handed it over.

I then got even more nice. And said, thanks, I know its your job, its ok. And I told her if she ever needed computer help to give us a call, and I gave her one of my cars. I could tell you looked kind of surprized I was still being so nice to her. So hopefully she wont show for court.

If she does buy a computer you can bet I'm adding the price of the ticket into it. :-D

Was she a Sheriff's deputy or CHP? CHP flakes on alot of tickets, but the Sheriffs dept. is headquartered 50 yards north east of the court. When are your court dates? I just live 2 blocks from the Govt. Center. Hehe, you're not going to Vegas anytime soon, are you? I don't think your luck would do much for you right now. ;)

Take care,

that sucks dude
 
Not to brag, but I've never been given a ticket in my life (I'm knocking on wood as I type this). I've been pulled over at least a dozen times and twice while drag racing. I like to tell everyone that I have diplomatic immunities.:D

I have gotten tickets in the past but since i got in the army. I just whip out the military id and i don't even show my drivers liscence and i usally wont even get a written warning just a verbal one. Its awesome. :D

It was a ventura county cop. Ojai cop, whatever. This short girl, Ive run into her a few times. Always bitchy, always on a power trip.

She always eyes my car when I drive by, and this is the first ticket I've ever got in the stang.

Im gonna goto court anyways jut to see what I can do. I dont think it can hurt.

No, no vegas for me.. hah.

Tough break Sky,

Cost of Gas: $25
Getting a ticket: $100
Making a sale while getting a ticket: PRICELESS!

I would suggest a track the next time you need to drive out some worries :p

What a saleman you are Skyman. lol That is rough though, I hate cops that are on powertrips. My g/f's dad is a cop and I got a careless driving ticket back in the beginning of December for my accident. I havn't got it back with a court date and usually it only takes 2 weeks, it was supposidly going to be taken care of by him. So I don't know if that is what he ment. Hmm... either way I'm liking it. :D But I've been warned from my parents if I get another ticket or accident they are taking my licence away. :(

These officers
 
Sky, it's unfortunate that we can't really call these officers what they really are. The MW editorial policies preclude an adequate description.

I hate to say it, but Stang Runner may be right. When I had my '69 Chevelle SS, I painted it Porsche Red w/ black stripes. I received enough tickets in that thing to wallpaper a small bathroom. Still though, if this was your first in it, who knows. Maybe you were just due.;)

Take care,
