You would be safer staying behind the erratic driver.

So you're one those idiots that always pops up on my tik tok who gets arrested for thinking they know more about the law than the cop.

You're not in a court hearing dumbass, you're pulled over on the side of the road, he is not required to fulfill your every request.


He gave me zero evidence I was speeding.

I requested he show me the radar gun reading showing me I was at 46 in a 35 and he said "Im not allowed to do that"

Not sure about the "allowed" part, but that is what the discovery phase is for when fighting this through the court system and not on the side of the road

In most police departments, these involve completely different officers and skill sets.

Depending on where the cop was hiding, maybe he saw your actions to avoid the erratic driver as the more aggressive and erratic driving; therefore, making you a bigger threat to other drivers. I know when I'm driving and I see these vehicles driving recklessly, the last thing I want to do is give them the opportunity to rear end me. I will actually slow down and let them get ahead so I can pay attention to them

He doesn't have to. But you already admitted you were. Please go to court and live stream it

You were going over 31% above the posted limit.

Yeah, they go after "low hanging fruit"... but YOU made it easy for them.

People who look like they will pay the ticket rather than fight it get pulled over.

Drive a clapped out hunk of shite like me to avoid such issues.

I believe this too. In regards to traffic tickets cops are just revenue collectors for whatever municipality they work for.

If you're doing more than 10 over in a 35 mph zone you absolutely deserved that ticket.

Generally I agree.
But some speed zones make no damn sense and are probably speed traps anyway.

And he does not have to do that unless you go to court.

You realize traffic enforcement is literally part of their job description right? You call it revenue collecting but would you rather the option of paying a fine or some other non monetary punishment like community service?

The city just lowered the speed limit by 5mph on a couple of local thoroughfares after 50+ years of never being dicked with.

Surprisingly, the motor cop hasn't been sitting in his normal speedtrap since.

Theres some super weird fascination with sucking cops off like they dont walk an incredibly fine line with the law themselves. And ever cop thread always shows that the OT is incredibly pro tyrant cocksucker.

Personally I find it abhorrent that its a crime for you to lie to them but they can lie to you in the course of their duties. Government dependents collecting revenue is wild. Discussing anything with police can only hurt you because they will never testify on your behalf. They'll steal from you, beat you, and lie to you and tell you their safety is the most important thing, nevermind that they took an oath to protect you not the other way around.

I say shut up and take the ticket but ill save the hero worship for firefighters or plumbers over an a-hole cop any day.

Get a dash cam. I guarantee their tone and attitude will go away as soon as they see a dash cam.
