Well.. So I went to the court house and was told that they will send me a letter... The clerk set me up for an Informal hearing? ... So its to be continued.... =)

 

I dispute just about every ticket I get... I often plead guilty and ask for a reduction.. it takes nearly a year, sometimes more to get a court date here, so I can budget for the ticket for a lot longer.. good luck man

 

thanks

Im thinking it'll be prolly around 2 weeks, I hate having this over my head.

I'll keep this thread posted and let ya all know the outcome.

 

No more ticket =)
NO MORE TICKET!!!!

Okay so my luck was looking pretty gruesome over the past week but finally that dark cloud has lifted.. the officer didnt show up.. well i think i seen him in the parking lot as I was leaving but too bad for him.. I was there and he wasnt... They cant recall the case can they??? Ne way I told her what had happened and showed the photos.. Even pointed out that there are no "school zone" postings anywhere along the entire road ... She was cool, said she changed it to a warning and waved all fees and no points... Cool beans!

 

That's awesome! Glad things worked out for you. Not all cops are bad and ticket happy. Sounds like you found a weiner though.

 

Tre,
Good to hear man... I'll be sure to stay away from your neck of the woods from now on! One good thing about Saginaw is that since they laid off SOOOO many cops a couple years back, they could care less about speeding. I passed a cop doing almost 55 in a 35 and he just lifted his head and watched me ride by.

 

Congrats on your lift. We have cops sit here during the summer, when school is out, in school zones. They don't turn off the lights and you better slow down to 25 or they will bust you bad. What makes you the most mad is that you know school is out but you still have to slow down.

 

Justice is alive and well in some places!

 

Another reason im glad to be a firefighter. Got stopped last week for doing 45 in 25. it was 2 motorcycle cops on the side of the road and before i even saw them one of them runs out in front of me to stop me it scared the **** out of me. anyway now im stopped and the cop is pretty pissed off as i was going through my wallet for my info when he caught a glimpse of my dept ID he asked where i worked and almost completely forgot he stopped me. I left without a ticket or a warning i love my job.

 

I have never been victim to the extra prejudice that bikers get from the fuzz, but I have had my run-ins with the cops while speeding. The one trick I have learned:

NEVER SEND IN THE TICKET...ALWAYS GO TO COURT. in the past ten years, every single one of my tickets got thrown out because the COP DIDN'T SHOW UP. Why? Because enough people send in their tickets to compensate for the very few who show up that it's not worth it for the police to show up at EVERY HEARING. Unless you did something retarded and got in serious trouble where you have no choice, GO TO COURT. Even if you know you were wrong, let the judge sentence you versus suckin' it up and paying the fine right after getting the ticket. No fines, no points, no nothing. I think that is worth taking some time off work.

Saved my **** TONS OF TIMES.
