    Default Whats the dumbest thing you have gotten a ticket for?

    Right after I bought my integra I didn't have a tag on it since I bought it from a private party and here in GA you have thirty days and as long as you have proof of insurance and bill of sale and all that **** you are good. Well I was up at the mall in Chattanooga and on my way out the parking lot I see blue lights behind me. I had already been pulled over around 6 or 7 times with no tag and just showed them my proof of insurance and bill of sale and they said I was good to go. Well the cop in TN says that you HAVE to have some sort of tag on it no matter what. I told him I was from GA and you don't have to. He told me he didn't know the GA laws so he was goin to give me a ticket. He gave me a 96 dollar ticket. **** pissed me off. I was goin to go to court and see if I could fight it but my mom wouldn't let me cause my school is gay and I had mono that year and was out a lot of days and they threatened to kick me out even though I had doctors notes and she didn't want me to get kicked out so she paid it for me.

    Anyone else got a bull**** ticket?

    Lame, dude. I'm sorry.

    I got a ticket the other day in dekalb county for my tag being expired for a whole NINE DAYS. I was told later by a friend of mine on the dekalb police force that he's never given anything worse than a verbal warning if you're tag is less than 30 days expired.

    My car is registered in my Dad's name. He thought we had until the end of the month of his birthday...but it turns out it was on his birthday that it expired. Hooray. We're gonna get the fine dropped one way or another.

    Maybe some reps will help? It's the least I can do.

    I just remembered about one night that I had taken my front bumper off and when i put my blinkers back in I must not have put the passenger side one on good and the way I was goin I had to take 3 rights and didn't see the cop behind me. I was doing 40 in a 35. He said I was speeding and didn't use my blinker at three turns and said that I ran two stop signs. I did run them but slowed down really slow cause both stop signs were on steep hills and it wasn't to long after I got my car which was the first 5 speed I ever drove so I hated stoppin on hills. He let me off with the no blinker and the "speeding" and wrote me a ticket for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. Needless to say I know the right people around here and didn't have to pay it even though it was only like 70 dollars

    You got a completely legit ticket and you're going to try and get it dropped...? Good luck with that

    I've never gotten ticketed for anything so I have nothing to ***** about.

    I have gotten tickets for speeding, not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, dui/drugs, possession of drugs, obstructing streets and sidewalks, warnings for no tag like, warnings for a head light out, warnings for speeding. That was back in my 16-17 year old days. Now I got about 50 down the highway here. Speed limit is 45.

    If you lived around here you would hear **** like that all the time. Plus my grammar is not that good at all. From pre-k to 12th grade I only had like 2 grammar classes. And that was 6th and 7th grade and I can't remember back that far.

    Lol not many.

    But yeah, you cannot have blue or red lights on the front of your car or you get busted.

    Honestly, a cop going around giving tickets for that needs a day off. Now stopping and informing, since I don't think most people know, would be legitimate as they would be upholding the laws.

    I havent had many tickets but I've deserved all the ones I got

    When I was 16 I got:
    Speeding
    driving without a license
    evading and elluding
    ALL IN ONE SHOT

    Then I got one for 68-55 in VA

    Four years later I got my first speeding ticket which should have been 81 in a 55 but since I hadn't had one in 4 years the cop let me off with a 69 in a 55

    "Officers are encouraged to issue warnings for registrations that are expired for less than 30 days." <-----According to my dekalb police officer friend.

    Yes, my tag was expired, but anything less than a month is supposed to be treated as a minor oversight on the part of the driver so as not to clog the recorder's court with usless bull****. Dumbass. A decently fair judge will drop most of them.

    Not to mention I got it renewed not 9 hours after receiving the ticket.

    What kind of legal termonology is "...supposed to be treated as a minor oversight..."? Usually they pull over people with bad tags and let them go because they wanted to investigate the driver for drugs, guns, stolen, etc. gl

    I was pulled over for excessive honking. People were crossing a street at a stop sign. I pulled up to the stop sign and honked as they trotted aacross the street. I was never taught this law from anyone and the cop acted like I should have known this to be illegal. Oh well, it was very stupid on my part anyway.

    I only meant that the procedure communicated to officers is that writing a ticket for a tag expired less than 30 days is a waste of time. Reminding the driver is usually enough. Most reasonable judges will drop it or waive the fine if you renew before you come to court. The officer didn't search my car or anything either.

    I never claimed to be quoting the letter of the law, I just said what I heard from an aquaintance of mine who is a police officer. So frickin relax.

    they were in the rear turn signals, but that was back in the day when blue lights was cool.

    My friend and I driving through Lawrencville, my friend gets pulled over for speeding. Since I was following him, and had no idea where I was, I pulled over 100 ft from the cop. The cop walks up to me and asks me for my license. I got a reckless driving ticket while my friend got a speeding ticket. This pissed me off so much, and at my age and lack of funds, I decided to plead not guilty right up until my trial by jury(Took over a year) then the DA got sick of me and gave me a deal.

    The stupidest ticket I've ever received was back in the summer of '07. Some young mofo cop who just started working gave me a ticket for driving without a license plate/tag. I had just bought my Accord a few days earlier and the paper tag # kept getting shredded and washed away due to the torrential downpours at that time. So my only solution was to keep the DMV issued temporary tag in my glove box for the police to see if they ever stopped me. But this a**hole wouldn't listen since it was a Friday night and all he wanted to do was write tickets left, right and centre. And the funny bit? This happened right outside the gate to my gf's complex. It was super embarrassing to fight with a fcking cop while curious onlookers were coming back from dinner, clubs and such. I finally had to go on my court date, explain everything and get the fcking ticket dismissed.

    Encouraged means nothing in that kind of situation.

    You're encouraged to not break laws, but you did and you got ticketed for doing so. Trying to say that cop is the one in the wrong is comical at best when you're the one that broke the law and even admit to doing so, yet you think you have a chance at getting it dropped :jerkit:

    And that "any decently fair judge" will drop it... LOL! That's good.

    i once got an unsafe motor vehicle ticket fro following a school bus. and since there arent any laws against following a school bus they pulled something out of there ass to give me a ticket for. first they tried to see if i was stalking someone, then they searched the vehicle for drugs/weapons, then came more questions, cuz seriously who the hell follows a school bus for the fun of it? and i also learned that day that when i cop say keep your hand out of your pockets they mean it.

    Several years ago I got a ticket for low tire pressure by those wonderful fuks in PTC. I was riding on fully inflated low profile tires and got the ticket thrown out in court.

    Two weeks later the same cop wrote me a ticket for "too fast through a traffic device" and a R.S. Akimoto plastic frame around my tag. According to the azz hat, I was supposed to come to nearly a complete stop before turning left at a green turn arrow. The "too fast" ticket was dismissed, but they stuck me with the tag frame ticket.

    Its slow... I promise

He told me he didn't know the GA laws so he was goin to give me a ticket. He gave me a 96 dollar ticket. **** pissed me off. I was goin to go to court and see if I could fight it but my mom wouldn't let me cause my school is gay and I had mono that year and was out a lot of days and they threatened to kick me out even though I had doctors notes and she didn't want me to get kicked out so she paid it for me.

    Anyone else got a bull**** ticket?
    Same situation for me but I did it in Florida. Here that is a criminal offense, I almost went to jail. lol. I talked right to the judge though and got off with just a fine. Also the cop told me my insurance was fake because "you can't get insurance on an unregistered car". Guy was a total jackass/dumbass.

    Hmmm... I was getting a ticket in orlando for Not having a FL license and "tampering with somg device" for my exhaust.... I didn't care to much because my car is not registered in my name, and I'm a full time student so I don't have to get a fl license. I had just recieved a ticket for the exhaust not 15 min prior, which said i had 30 days to fix it. I showed the officer the other ticket and he said that I should have parked the car when I got the 1st one... I asked him how was I supposed to park my car if i had not made it home yet? His next response was "Your Georgia Attitude is not gonna work in FL" and my response was "FU*K You AND FU*K FLORDIA" Next thing I know i was in hand cuffs for a domestic disturbance, and I spent the night in jail.

    Went to court, and all charges were dropped, and so were the ct fees.... I should have just took the ticket and stfu, but I was heated. At least he didn't taze me.

    i remember i got a failure to maintain lane because i was coming around a turn and the edge of the road was old and breaking away, it was atleast a 4 or 5 inches drop off the side of the road so veered over to the left alittle to avoid hitting it and possibly resulting in far worse problems. i was probably right beside or on the yellow line, at the same time a cop is coming from the other way just around the bend and see's me. pulls me over with a pos attitude, and give me a ticket for that, then talks sh1t about the fact that i just got insurance on the car that day saying i was lucky.
