4 tickets, 2 speeding.

-Right on Red (was no right on red) at fucking 3am. Douchebag was pissed I wasnt drunk so he slapped me with that bogus ticket.
-Slid off the road and hit a hydrant 3 winters ago. Reported it and they gave me a ticket. Great lesson fuckers, I will never report something like that again.
-74 in a 55 in the loop in Indy. I got screwed cause the 70 limit was 150 yards away. BUT I had it coming. I had been going 80 through that bitch for 3 years going to and from IU
-34 in a 35. Unfortunately it was a school zone (with no fucking flashing lights...wtf???). I saw the cop a hundred yards away or so and slowed way down to under the limit and didnt see the sign posted in black and white. They let me go with just paying the speeding fine and not the school zone fine.

Wow. Four tickets and none of them are your fault.

didnt say that. They all are. But there is a lot of (bad) luck. I wont say I should have 2 speeding tickets, cause I speed all the time.

But reporting my own accident on my street 50 yards from my house is a bullshit ticket. The Hydrant didnt even bust off or anything.

And the right on red is the correct call I guess. But seriously, give someone a warning when its 3am and NO ONE is on the street. That was pretty clear that he was going for the drunk driving.

And I didnt know school zones were around without the flashing lights. That is a good ticket, cause you cant be going 34 through a 20 MPH zone with kids crossing the street. But in the case of the right on red and school zone, a right on red from curb lane was installed and flashing lights were installed in the school zone within 3 months of my tickets.

Failure to control - Tie rod end broke on my truck going around a turn, basically just got the ticket b/c I took out the property owners fence. Officer said that if I was cited the property owner couldn't sue me for damages?
Running a stop sign - Fought and won.
Unnecessary vehicle noise (Squealing tires) - Fought and won.
About 4 speeding tickets in my first few years of driving.

No tickets in the last couple of years, a couple warnings though.

I was just kidding. And I agree, their main goal should be to keep the streets safe, not to hand out tickets for the hell of it.

oh ok. Usually when someone tells me that after I explain my tickets (ok I think 2 people have ever asked me about my driving history lol) they think Im making excuses. Ill be the first to admit I should have a lot more tickets for speeding, but I typically see the cops way ahead. But the tickets I have had are pretty shitty and bad luck.

67 in a 55 on SR795, and another for not making a full stop at a stop sign on Sterns up in Michigan. I didn't have the registration or proof of insurance for the car I was driving on the last one, I'm pretty lucky I only got a ticket on it. The cop was cool about it, which is rare.

got a what turned out to be a $600 speeding ticket on the highway in New York State. Got caught going 90 in a 65....oops. Then they smacked me with an additional $300 fine for having too many points solely for that incident in the state of New York even though I don't even live there...

I tried to flirt with the cop, but he wasn't budging : (

Oh i aslo got an assaulting a police officer charge too. got it lowered cause the sheriff i hit was a friend and he was stopping a fight with out letting anyone know he was an officer. atleast that is how he got me outta the ticket. It wouldve put me in jail for possible a year or two i think is what he said.

I've gotten 4 in the 8 years I've been driving but pulled over a total of 6 times.

59 in a 35 when I was a senior in high school

70 in a 55

55 in a 25 ON THE ROAD I LIVED ON... I told him I was away at college and wasn't familiar with the area yet because my mom moved in with her fiance right after I graduated from high school. He told me he thought I was lying but just gave me a warning.

80 in a 65-Cop was really cool and just gave me a seat belt violation because he said "I was in college once and know how expensive it is."

80 in a 70-Up in Michigan; talked my way out of it. He asked me if I had any drugs or alcohol in the car, and I decided to be funny and show him the carton of cigs I got for my gf's mom (They're cheaper here than in MI). He told me he could have given some kind of offense for smuggling or something because of the tax difference... the same thing as buying alcohol in Indiana and bringing it back I guess.

65 in a 55-Construction Zone on 75 in Michigan. I got it hard. I still feel that it was because I had Ohio plates. I was in bumper to bumper traffic single lane. Somehow, he singled me out in the middle of a pack of cars. I thought about fighting it because he wrote the ticket for 60, so it would be less but then said "If you try to fight this in court, I'll increase the speed." I wanted to be a dick and take him to court and argue that he took my rights away by threatening me, but I decided not to.

Not me, but my mom got 3 in two day period when she was in college. She went to school in BG and worked in Adrian, MI. She got 1 in OH on her way to work, 1 in MI on her way home, and the final one the next morning on her way to work in OH again (Same cop as the day before).

Well this might be one helluva list but I will try not to forget any!
80 in 65 on I-70
50 in 40 on US 40
Willful/ Wanton disregard for public Safety, Wrecked an 89 Mustang 5.0 on the test drive with no license hence the next ticket
Driving without a license
FRA suspension for driving without insurance when I wrecked the Mustang
3 marijuana possession charges
2 drug abuse charges (marijuana) better than being hit with the DUI
Turn signal
Seat belt
The last possession charge I got In North Carolina on my way to FL, The guy pulled me over because he profiled me basically. There were cars speeding by me and he pulled me over for "seeing me put my seat belt on" I was putting it on because I just re entered the highway after getting gas. This is the first case that I actually got dismissed without prejudice. I got some Attorney out of Charlotte to get me out of that one, it was worth money

I think there might be a couple more I have forgotten. So do you think the police had a grudge against me. lol
