Our Court System Is a JOKE.

[Elbow]

Just wanted to say how corrupt our court system is in this country. I've been fucked over by them twice now for reasons SO STUPID they're almost funny. They just try to pry every dime possible.

Months back I got a ticket for no proof of insurance while test driving a car I was looking at to buy. Not a big deal, I didn't have my card on me, but did have insurance. The car however was not insured or registered.

Well I went to court Monday for it, I went in front of the judge, the prosecutor took my paperwork showing proof of insurance (I got a printout from my insurance stating it was valid that date, my current card, and my policy with all dates listed and when renewed.) She told me to take a seat and she will call me back up after they verify it.

I was called back up to the stand and she said indeed I did have insurance, BUT, they said they don't cover that car. I said I know, I don't OWN THAT CAR, I was test driving it, she said well it still has to be insured. So how do you plea, guilty or not guilty. I said are you kidding? She said no. I said not guilty and was told to take a seat to setup a trial.

I went back up there, now flat out pissed. She's like if you take this to trial understand you WILL NOT WIN, WILL lose your license, WILL go to jail, and WILL pay a $1,000 fine. I said well how is this my issue, shouldn't the owner be charged? She said yes, technically both of you can. I said well where is he? She said he's not involved in this.

In the end I plead no lo and a fine. Stupid worthless piece of shit "law." This isn't the first time I've been fucked over either, this is a walk in the ball park to my previous sentence which was the equivalent conviction of raping a three year old then killing her.

lol that's how it usually is... how else would they get the money to drive those nice chargers and shit lol

[DirtyMechanic]

mabye you should drive properly insured and regisitered vehicles next time.

[ilovemyhonda.]

That is the craziest thing I ever heard. How do you the test driver insure a car that you don't own and you are just test driving? That is the most ridiculous thing.

[DirtyMechanic]

oh simon why dont you tell the story of WHY you got pulled over in the uninsured car in the first place...

[Njobe]

oh simon why dont you tell the story of WHY you got pulled over in the uninsured car in the first place...

[SicStang03]

shouldn't asked for a lawyer

[Elbow]

oh simon why dont you tell the story of WHY you got pulled over in the uninsured car in the first place...

Oh OK, um, NO TAG. Nice try to be a smart ass.

[S2KJD]

jeez how random and never would of thought such a thing could happen hhhmmm...lame fo sho

[punkr6]

i'm not understanding your complaint, you were driving a non registered, non insured car on a public road. How is this ok in your eyes ?

[Njobe]

i'm not understanding your complaint, you were driving a non registered, non insured car on a public road. How is this ok in your eyes ?

it wasn't his car, he was test driving another persons car?

[DirtyMechanic]

Oh OK, um, NO TAG. Nice try to be a smart ass.

are you sure... i think i remember someone.. might have not been you. but someone saying it was at the gnett sonic meet. and you pealed out in front of the QT right there which in turn a cop saw and pulled you over for it? might not have been you, but i do remember someone doing this.

[punkr6]

it wasn't his car, he was test driving another persons car?

that doesn't matter...

[Elbow]

No, definitely wasn't me. I'll post my other thread if you like of me explaining the ordeal right after it happened. The cop was behind me when I left the guys driveway and pulled me over a couple of houses down.

[Njobe]

that doesn't matter...

if it's not his car he can't insure it so it wouldn't be his fault really.

[DirtyMechanic]

that doesn't matter...

correct if you take possessions of a vehicle you are responsible for it. that means. regisitered and insured. maybe you should have asked before you test drove it... maybe you will in the future. help prevent this happening again.

[Elbow]

that doesn't matter...

Uhh actually it does, if I have insurance, the owner should be charged not me. I'm not even aware or was made aware of it not having insurance or no registration, I called the owner of the car to the scene to tell the cop any of that.

[punkr6]

if it's not his car he can't insure it so it wouldn't be his fault really.

you can't drive an uninsured car on a public road, no matter who's car it is. He was driving it, he gets the ticket...

[Elbow]

For those saying it's my fault and I shouldn't complain, the LAW IN GEORGIA is clear:

(b) An owner or any other person who knowingly operates or knowingly authorizes another to operate a motor vehicle without effective insurance on such vehicle or without an approved plan of self-insurance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be subject to a fine of not less than $200.00 nor more than $1,000.00 or imprisonment for not more than 12 months, or both. An operator of a motor vehicle shall not be guilty of a violation of this Code section if such operator maintains a policy of motor vehicle insurance which extends coverage to any vehicle the operator may drive. An owner or operator of a motor vehicle shall not be issued a citation by a law enforcement officer for a violation of this Code section if the sole basis for issuance of such a citation is that the law enforcement officer is unable to obtain insurance coverage information from the records of the department.

do you have this extended coverage ?

[Elbow]

do you have this extended coverage ?

YES. I already said that.

[Hundo®]

Good use of the English language there kiddo. Seems you really know your stuff!

Are you seriously this stupid? Really? Were you not able to understand the commonplace words that I used? Would it be better to speak in idiot?

"u am drive vehicle no tag no insurance. you am drive like dum dum and get pull over. you am pay price for being dum dum. you am cry like baby back bitch for being dum dum."

was that better?

[Elbow]

At least you didn't use bitch in every other word. Stay in school, you may learn a few things.

[punkr6]

YES. I already said that.

then you got :idb:

[Elbow]

do you have this extended coverage ?

Even if I didn't it would still be stupid, who EVER has asked for paperwork before test driving a car, especially around a neighborhood. The cop should have charged me with no insurance in the first place if they were going to randomly change it in court.

[Elbow]

then you got :idb:

Yeah well they're about to give my money back.

[punkr6]

Yeah well they're about to give my money back.

you gonna lawyer up ?

[Elbow]

you gonna lawyer up ?

Yes, I have a very good lawyer, I went alone this day as I was sure it would go smooth, another guy had the no proof of insurance charge and all and walked out. I was even told by the officer that night to go in with proof and I will be good to go.

[collins]

i'm not understanding your complaint, you were driving a non registered, non insured car on a public road. How is this ok in your eyes ?

are you joking? so by your logic, if you're TEST DRIVING a car that will potentially belong to you one day, but it doesn't belong to yo YET, its YOUR responsibility to put insurance on the damn thing for the 5 minutes you're in the car driving it around the block just long enough to gather enough information to come to the conclusion of IF you want to purchase it or not? sorry for the long ass sentence but thats just retarded as hell!

My thoughts exactly.

no, you missed the point..by law the car has to be insured if its on a public road. doesn't matter if your test driving it or if you own it, it has to be insured.....

[Hundo®]

At least you didn't use bitch in every other word. Stay in school, you may learn a few things.

Again, you're a fucking idiot. How does the use of the word "bitch" make my sentence improper English? You dolt. I graduated college when you were getting out of highschool. Who are you telling to stay in school, you inbred, ignorant fuck?

[Elbow]

no, you missed the point..by law the car has to be insured if its on a public road. doesn't matter if your test driving it or if you own it, it has to be insured.....

It should be yes, but shouldn't the owner be responsible for that? The cop talked to the owner about that and tried to impound the car. He should of came after me with charges other then no proof if that was the case.

[Elbow]

Again, you're a fucking idiot. How does the use of the word "bitch" make my sentence improper English? You dolt. I graduated college when you were getting out of highschool. Who are you telling to stay in school, you inbred, ignorant fuck?

If you're really twenty two then nothing you just said stands. Inbred? Yeah that's me.

You're a guido looking tool with no life in the slightest. You get on here to feel superior or like a bad ass when everyone thinks you're a joke. You're skinny as fuck. You drive an ugly ass car. You try to impress, but in the end, you don't have shit that matters to anyone, your family doesn't even care about you. There's no other reason for someone to crave as much attention as you do, it's because your family hates you. lol
