I am not challenging Due Process. I am challenging a guy who is ****faced drunk when he is stopped hiring a shifty lawyer to dig up one possible problem in the arrest so he can get away with a crime of which he is obviously guilty.
It is a waste of resources and makes a mockery of the whole system. This is not rape or murder.


however you feel it makes people do their job correctly . I for one don't want cops doing shoddy work
 
Again, it has nothing to with the cops. It is about the mentality of too many people who exploit the fact that our system allows them to walk from crimes they are undeniably guilty of instead of taking responsibility for their actions.
 
Nah... I'm sure they know about it, it was probably a year ago now and I've gotten 1-2 renewals since then (the most recent went down $6-8 a month). Maybe they just figured they are (or definitely have already) raked me across the coals enough.

FWIW I was paying $180-$225 a month for insurance on my 350z - over a 2-3 year period... now with my Jeep and a much better record in the past 2-3 years, I am down to $95 a month. (Still probably more than a lot of people pay but I did what I did...)

However, the $200+ a month was still a little ridiculous to me considering I've been driving 11 years and never had an accident or a claim over $1200 (when someone vandalized the same car on halloween).

Most companies only rerun driving records on an average of every 2 years so they probably don't know. And as much as it would be nice, they will never look at how much you used to pay them or already have paid in the past and base anything off of that.

Yeah, it might suck but those are the laws of this country.
 
First, the OP never said he was speeding, he said he got a ticket. All of this great advice about owning up to responsibility, etc. and no one else knows the facts. So, given the moral idignity of some of the posters, I presume that if any of the aforementioned people found themselves in violation of a law, such as 36mph in a 35mph zone, they would "man/woman up", find out the required amount of the fine, mail it in and ask their insurance companies to increase their rates. It's still breaking the law, even if you don't get caught.

Seriously... What person facing conviction DOESN'T do this? You don't think that real criminals-- rapists, murderers, burglars, etc. (not people who disobey an often improperly-set number on a sign) don't do the same thing?

That's our system. The proof is on the accuser.
 
Tickets suck, but if you were speeding just pay. It's called justice. Now's the time to decide if you are against it or for it.

NEVER just pay the fine. ALWAYS make the cop prove the case against you. Speed doesn't kill, no matter how many times the lie has been repeated, and most tickets are nothing more than a way to raise revenue.

So, the fact that speeding is a factor in the majority of all fatal automobile accidents is just a coincidence? Thank you for putting me straight on that one! I'm gonna start putting the hammer down since I know it's completely safe now!
Let me know when your have family members on the road so I can make sure to show 'em just how fast I can go through that school zone! :rockin:
