How to beat a ticket with physics
 

Physicist claims victory over traffic ticket with physics paper | Motoramic - Yahoo! Autos

It takes a bit of math but ......

Geeeeez, I was dating my ex......went to her house to get laid.

It was raining, she was following me in her 'write me a ticket red Mustang'.....

We both hit the stop sign off the freeway. Full stops....the local speed limit was 25mph.

She's right behind me, I was lagging....turbo Toyota 4x4....slips and slides in the rain. All of a sudden the rear view erupts with red and blue. I figured some LEO weenie cut in between and was yanking me.......I pulled and saw the bimbo as yanked.....

Side note, I had a bulb in my pocket.....one of her brake lights was out. I ran around the corner, walked up to the local PD and sad 'Hi, whatup, I got the bulb right here'....he got all postal. IMHO, he was trolling for a date....

Wrote her a ticket for 40 in a 25.

Bored cops are asshats....

Went to court after declaring not guilty. He testified, She testified.....Judge said GUILTY....I said, yo WTF, I'm on the witness list.....stood up in my my Brooks Brothers suit....Judge said....are you a lawyer? Naw, I work for a living..... Judge chuckled....

I told him I measured the distance between the stop sign and the address where she was pulled over, did the math and said there was no way in hell that she was doing 40 and following me in 1/10 of a mile.

Not guilty. Sent the transcripts to his Stoopidvisor, wanker got a week off w/o pay.


Bored cops are asshats....

Cops and Physics......
 

Did the same thing one time. I was driving a 1973 Fiat 124 Coupe. 1.6 liter engine with about 100 hp. I had stopped for a stop sign and after a full stop proceeded to turn left at the corner and accellerate up a moderate incline over a railroad track. Distance from the stop to the pull over spot was less than 1/10 of a mile. Cop said I was doing 60 in a 45 zone. I was polite, signed the ticket, got my license back and went on my way. The next day, I went back to the scene and measured the distance with an engineers wheel and estimated the incline. Using the distance, incline angle, weight of the car and the available horsepower I drew a chart showing that it would have been impossible for my car to have been going over 45mph more or less in that distance. When it came time to go to court, I showed up, the cop showed up and a really cool judge showed up. The cop went first, recited info from a notebook and by refering to the ticket. My turn. I got up (college student but was dressed in a suit and tie) set up my diagrams and math explanations and went thru the whole explanation. When I was done, the judge sat there for about a minute thinking it all over, finally turned to the cop and said "Haven't I warned you before about harassing young drivers for no reason? Young man, case dismissed, you may go. Officer xxxxxx, I want to see you in my chambers immediately after court tonight."

I stayed out of that community for about 3 months to let the cop cool down!

Joe Bob and Fred, thank you. I very much enjoyed those stories.

I did as well!
