BS ticket and I am pissed
I just got done with this proposal for tomorrow morning and I need to sleep before I do battle tomorrow. I want to have some time to b!tch a bit. I was caught in bad traffic this afternoon coming home and decided to get around and go through the outer rim of downtown LA. I was stopped at a red light waiting for it to turn red. Goddam no turn on red made me stay put and they are all over the place now (How about your cities?). Cop car comes up behind me and we sit. I was driving my S2000 with the plastic cloudy window and he can't see what I am doing. A beautiful late 20's women was leaning against a light pole screwing around with her phone waiting also. lights changed, I wait for her to cross for about 5 second and she still on the phone and not notice the light had changed. Cop toots that siren so I go. AS soon as i go around mid corner, this absent minded b!tch decided to walk onto the street. I don't even she even looked if the car is there. Of course, I had no choice but go on through because she was right by my door. Cop lit me me up and gives me a ticket. That fcuker did not want to hear it. Any chance I will win? I am thinking its been more then 18 months so just bite the bullet and pay the fine and deal with traffic school. Fcuking phones. People should stay off them and pay attention. I go to bed not and let me know what you think of this one. I was done dry on this one.

You should have stood your ground or gotten out of the car. But now that you have the ticket, do not admit that the woman was in the cross walk. Lie and say she waved you on. Yes, this one is for the court.
I'll remember this thread in case a dumb ass cop prods me to move against reason. BTW, be sure to say to cop hit the siren, not the horn. For all you know, he just got a call and was "moving" you out of his way. Yeah, I think yo have ths one licked but sorry that a stupid cop is going to cost you hours at the courthouse. I defend cops a lot for what they have to do as a job. But that doesn't change my opinion that they are mostly asshloes. |

Lying in court is not only sleazy and dishonest, it's illegal.

But the OP described it as following the immediate command of an officer, under duress and with a safe path being available. That should bear some weight with the following driver's reactions. |
