woo, police

Should have got a pic for us to p-shop meeps into.

how do i go about getting out of this ticket? just call courthouse, explain case, set up date? goddammit. waste of time.

It makes cops paranoid when you try to get their pickies.

Either call the DA and explain the situation or plead not guilty and prepare to go to court and present your proof

Or do what I did once. Skip court, live your life for the next 5 years, and then get arrested on a bench warrant next time you get pulled over for a burned out turn signal.

In Michigan we have to fill in the back of the ticket where it gives you an option to contest the charges in court. Mail it per the instructions and wait for our day in court. Then we can show up in court, plead not guilty and give an explanation with any evidence that we have. If the cop shows up and lies, we then lose by default because a civilians word isn't worth a lump of meep against a cops word. Then the next case is called and we're shuttled into the clerks office to pay the fine + court fees.

You must appear on the date given. Show the proof which you had but didn't find fast enough. The judge SHOULD dismiss immediately. While the bullmeep citation will remain in a searchable court record you will have to pay nothing at all. After all this curse the name of the cop and perform majikal ritual attaching a spirit from the underworld to his/her sphincter. VIOLA! Justice!

Go to court packing a gun. Whip that meep out at the slightest provocation. They'll learn not to trifle with GDR.

be a white person

imagine all these ways you'll stand up for yourself, then in reality, fold like a prissy lil meep

^That's always worked for me.

Couldn't you just refuse the ticket, like "No officer, I'm not accepting this ticket".

Request a jury trial; Depose the officer for a full day; conduct masive amounts of domeepent discovery; Go to trial; Win; Sue for wrongful prosecution, harrassment or whatever other juicy causes of action your state allows; Win again, collect damages; retire on St. Barts.

couldn't you just spend a night or more in jail? yes, you probably could. this is an actively terrible idea.

gdr, you'll have to go to court. sucks. good news is, it should be really short. hopefully your last name is early in the alphabet, too. :/

on what charges? He didn't break the law and the ticket is invalid. What's the cop gonna do, take him police station and file a bullmeep report on how he refused a ticket for not having proof of insurance when the pig knows he has it?

the whole situation is non-negotiable.

you don't have to do anything, that includes paying a fine, showing up to court to get the ticket thrown out, and avoiding a warrant by doing either of the previous two items.

this is the purview of the judge.

you'd be surprised what some cops do to people for refusing to sign a traffic citation. i mean, really, why bother?

no I wouldn't be surprised, I agree that if you don't wana bother with all that meep, your way is the best to avoid trouble but keep in mind by refusing the ticket your forcing the cop to lie. This can end a cop's career or prevent him from moving up in the rank 'if' he gets caught.

So from a cops point of view, you have a dude refusing a ticket you know is bullmeep and the only way to satisfy your need for autoritah would be taking him to the station, lying and risking your career if you get caught.. why bother..

and if it goes all the way (night in jail, court date, etc) and your innocent, then you can do what startrecodingnow suggested + get a cop in meep..

anyway, it was a waste of my time but easy enough. i had to take it to the municipal office or something. they just took the ticket, i showed my proof of insurance and left.

it was refreshing to walk into an office where everybody hates their job.

i wondered what would happen if i tried to refuse the ticket, but i was thought if i tried to do anything i would get a ticket for the whole reason i got pulled over, or get "taken in".

the officer was a meep, but i still had an awesome night, so meep her. THE END.

I'm sorry it ended so pleasantly.

next time i will definitely pack heat.

Next time don't puss out on your opportunity to spend a night in jail. Everyone should have to do this.

Once.

Of course I didn't learn my lesson till 4x (just paid off 2 warrants from 2004).

Most of those times I could have calmly got about my business but I can't keep my fool mouth shut and coppers don't like sass talk, see.

:( I was really hoping this would end with a jailhouse rape scene.

Did you cell phone snap her cleavage?
