2nd ticket for no inspection w/i one week issued by the same officer that gave me the first one. Yea, I didn't have the inspection, but he had just ticketed me 5 days before. And we had an ice storm or something and everything was closed for 3 of the 5 days. We see a snowflake in the south and close everything...LOL

Although, I showed proof of inspection in court and both tickets were dismissed.

I hadn't had the car inspected in 5 years so I was due for a ticket....LOL Tint is checked when our inspections are done here in NC. I had 20% and limo tint....had to strip it off to get inspection.

He gave me a failure to obey traffic signs ticket and I went and checked and Not only did he say i was doing 50 in a 35, the last sign a mile and a half away was for 40. and the next sign for 35 is 1/4 mile ahead of where I got pulled over. When he came up to me I told him the only reason he pulled me over was becuase of my car, becuase a cab and a beat up toyota were doing atleast 55 in front of me. Also I told him I was watching him follow me for a mile and noticed he ran the red light behind me. Becuase it turned yellow as I went through it.

He was shocked. He also proceed to tell me that yes I am a target becuase mostly hoodlums and drugies have these cars!!!!!!!! I should of slapped him right there and then. I am a succesful bussness man not a druggie or hoodlum. I am taking this to court with pics and stories. I am playing IWIN. I LOVE IT!!!!!

$10 fix it ticket for no front plate. Cops do that because they're "supposedly looking for drug dealers."

$2 Ticket for not having my toll money ready when i came up to the toll both I was in the process of getting it... It took longer to write a ticket than it did for me to get my money out of my wallet. I told the cop I was trying to be a good driver and not be digging for a toll when I was driving but he still gave it to me... I think I win for smallest ticket ever LOL

I've told this story here b4, here it goes...well, I didn't get a ticket for this but...

I was pulled over in Cali for "running a yellow light". That's what the officer said I did. I was like you can't run a yellow light, man. He asked me to step out of the car and stand by the trunk with him. We talked for like 2 minutes on how you can't run a yellow light and then he said I wasn't wearing my seatbelt either. So I kindly pointed out it was an automatic seatbelt, that was still connected, and he was like you didn't have the lap belt on. How the hell could you see that from your car? He let me go.

a fine for throwing a flaming object out of your car is not stupid. I have seen brush fires started by cigarettes. you probably deserved that $150 fine. (that probably is my little disclaimer indicating that I don't know the entire situation or location, and therefore should not be unnecessarily flamed........anyways cigarettes are bad for you.)

Tickets for throwing out cigs are given here in nc too. It sucks when I need to get rid of it and a cop is around me in traffic.

They give tickets for littering, not really the fire issue.

Shut up about cigarettes are bad for you. Go preach at a sermon. Why do you care if I am killing myself. Keep it to yourself. Second, I knew JohnnyLee was from Cali becuase of brush fire laws. I forgot the city, but you can't smoke outside of your house becuase the area is so dry and the risk of Fire is great.

And if they don't want me throwing my cigarette out the window, then don't charge me 40 dollars more to install an ashtray in to my car. My car, as most likely all of yours, DIDN'T come with an ashtray. Descrimination, I say.

If you don't like smoke, smokers, or cigarettes.... move to another communist country that doesn't allow smoking (oops, they don't exist) or live in the mountains as a hermit. But stay the hell away from me, and don't ever preach to me. All you do is remind me I haven't had a cigarette in a while and I need one now.

So of I go to smoke. Thanks buddy, your killing me!

"Failure to yield out of private driveway." I still don't understand how someone gets that ticket, but it was part of bigger thing and I guess the cop had to give me something as I was already pulled over.

Wouldn't the $40 have been cheaper than $150?
