I just got a ticket for speeding 95 in a 65... that sneaky cop
anyways. i heard that if you pay the ticket off with a couple of dollars extra, the court will send you the couple of dollars back. then you are supposed to rip that check up and boom the case is never settled and points dont go on your record and insurance doesnt go up!

is this an urban legend?

Depends on where it is I guess, but here in TX that won't happen.

if this actually works... i will lover you forever and ever and ever...

 
Rep Power: 362

i guess ill have to try it out myself then.
o yeah.
what are the chances i can get this fine reduced?

 
Rep Power: 0

I have no idea if that works or not...we dont deal with the court/fines aspect of things

 
Rep Power: 274

Fat chance, but maybe you should try!

No, but I know a way to get out of any ticket...when you get pulled over, turn off car, turn on dome light, put keys on dash, roll down window, and put hands at 10 and 2. I used this the other day, it means you are a relative on someone in the force. If they ask you if you have someone in your family in the force say, "Yes I have an uncle who is a State Trooper in (insert different state). Don't give him any names, b/c if you do he can go run the name in the car. Works 99.99% of the time, I used it to get out of a ticket in Colorado on my ski trip I went on. I was like yes I have an uncle that is a state trooper in Ohio. I am from Texas, no ticket.

I did it in Colorado and it worked

 
Rep Power: 296

wow, never heard that one before. i doubt it would work though.

 
Rep Power: 0

Try it, I have gotten out of around 4 or 5 tickets doing this...

 
Rep Power: 362

yay!

what does the dome light have to do with anything

 
Rep Power: 813

You rip up the check, the expiration date rolls around, you lose the couple hundred, and the case gets closed. Sorry.

 
Rep Power: 0

Only if it is night time, b/c the cop can see inside your vehicle

 
Rep Power: 335

thats crazy, i gotta keep this procedure in mind. =D



so how does the check thing work? in details please... im still confused of it

 
Rep Power: 362

ok here is my ticket.
do you think i got a chance? cause he paced me? didnt use a rado.
and i was going to do the "request for trial by written declaration"

 
Rep Power: 586

that much over, if under 18 usually gets license taken

 
Rep Power: 586

something i learned in a law class, beating a ticket is always about putting doubt in mind. u dont necessarly have to prove anything. as long as there is reasonable doubt. mostly they might just make u pay the fine, but not add to ur points on license

 
Rep Power: 362

im 20!
but yeah he didnt get me on radar, so i do have resonable doubt

 
Rep Power: 321

No you don't create reasonable doubt just by stating that he didn't get you on radar.

The officer will go to court and state that they have taken classes on how to estimated vehicles speeds (I think up to 5 mph difference). This class has to be taken every year by them.

I had the same thing happened to me and I tried the same thing as you but it failed. Good luck with your case.

i tried that once with the hands at 10 and 2 with the windows rolled down and the light on and the cop still gave me a ticket. i even mentioned i had relatives on the force.

 
Rep Power: 362

well i sent a statment of written declaration.
i hope the cop doesnt respond and i get a default win.

I got a ticket for going 81 in a 45 and that was $565.. damn that sucked paying that

 
Rep Power: 0

^^^did you go to court for that or was that the price on the ticket?i got caught doing 89 in a 45 and i need to go to court for it.damn i didnt know it will be that much.

 
Rep Power: 0

well if the case doesnt get settled that cant be a good thing, cause it usually leads to warrants.
