I know blogs include how to avoid getting a citation issued in the event you are stopped for your driving behavior. I do not recall seeing any postings which will assure that you earn a ticket. Here is my input as a police officer. I personally don’t give citations to everyone. If a driver can t…

Yes, politeness is important, as is honesty, as is the maturity to concede that you have done something wrong. The last ticket that I received, in 1995, was for a “rolling stop” at a stop sign. Was I guilty of a “rolling stop”? Yup! Did I argue with the cop? Nope! The intersection in question …

But sometimes cops say some pretty dumb things that made me want to pull some witty remarks. I was tailed by this vigilante because he thought I was drunk in the afternoon. For all I cared, someone was trying to have me killed. I drove straight to the local police station for protection. They told…

I predict that this is going the break the 100 reply mark. I too have gotten tickets that I deserved, and I just sent in the payment. I have had two tickets that I thought were unjustified, i fought both in court and won. In both cases, the officer just didn’t see everything that was going on, an…

It’s been my experience that the way cops approach traffic infractions varies widely by area. In western Mass, there are speed traps everywhere, and it’s a “cat and mouse” game between the cops and the drivers. One cop (who I knew personally) told me that in his chain of command the number of violat…

All good to know. Of course, I’ve NEVER been pulled over. Not even once. :slight_smile: I did come close about two months ago, I believe. I passed a cop doing about 33 in a 25 (in my defense, this is a 25 mph zone in a bulldozed and cleared out brownfield - there is NOTHING there, just empty spa…

@twotone - Solid advice that “prof” gives for many situations - however, there’s a big difference between a traffic stop and a criminal case… But I think he needs a serious reality check for the amount of praise he gave Monica Goodling, who clearly violated federal laws, even without incriminating …

I have gotten three speeding tickets in my entire driving life; over 50 years. On a business trip via airplane I sat next to a former cop, a nice guy who told me that he never gave a speeding ticket to someone who admitted that they were speeding so I took that advice to heart did that every time a…

I’ve been driving for a little over ten years and have gotten one speeding ticket (legitimate 70 in a 55), one $2500 ticket for driving without proof of insurance (overturned when I went to court to show proof of insurance, but I was stopped because my car was dirty, supposedly to the point of causi…

I respect the difficult job police officers do every day. I also appreciate what little civil rights we have remaining. I will provide my identification and tell them my name and address, but say no more. This video is great advice:
