re: Dumbest traffic ticket you've ever received?

Received a seat belt ticket as a passenger in a parking lot.

Got a ticket for running a red light and almost hitting a cop who "had his emergency lights on", when in reality he ran the red light and almost hit me and his lights were not on.

When I asked him what emergency was so unimportant he could stop and give me a ticket instead of proceeding to the call...and if my light was red, why did 3 other cars go under behind me...and why hadn't he stopped them, he almost arrested me.

Traveling from Nola to Houston at 3 am, going the speed limit, I got pulled over in Vidor and given a ticket for driving in the left lane. Not a soul on the interstate.

I got a seatbelt violation while wearing my seatbelt.

Cop was a total dick, it probably didn't help when he told me why he pulled me over.

Driving to the hospital semi emergency at 6:15 am no one on the road. Light turns yellow-red quickly and instead of slamming on the brakes stop the car with the bumper across the white line. Light turns green and I take off. 2 cops in store parking lot across the street take off like a bat out of hell and both run hot and pull me over for running a red light. Told them I did not run a red light--told me to tell that to the judge. What bullshite.

I was coming back from working the grocery store in Woodville MS through St. Francisville. There was road contruction going on just past the Myrtles, 35 MPH. A coworker had gotten a ticket that morning, so I was going 30. I saw a cop by an intersection waving his hand up and down as if signaling to slow down. I motioned to him, my intention being "yessir I understand, will do." Well, his missing toothed dumb arse pulled me over, and first thing he said was, very sarcastically, "I saw you wave when you blew past me!!" Apparently that was a seat belt check, but dumb arse power tripper didn't know the difference between a gesture to slow down and the gesture for stop. Even my Paw Pa, a retired Baton Rouge cop, said that was dumb on his part.

Moving out to Vegas I was on a 2 lane road, passed a cop going the other way and he flipped a bitch and threw on his lights and pulled me over. Got out and asked if I knew how fast I was going. I said around 70 or so and he said 68, and asked if I knew what the speed limit was. I told him I thought it was 65 and he said yes it is. He ended up giving me a warning.

The dumbest ticket I ever got was an unsafe lane change. I watched a lot of Law and Order and contested it and I summed up the cop's testimony by asking him "so it's you're testimony that I, while in a lane designated as a passing lane by dotted white lines, turned on my turn signal, changed lanes without exceeding the speed limit or causing other cars around me to swerve or hit their brakes, passed a car and then got back into the previous lane after applying the opposite turn signal?" He said, well yes I guess. I just looked at the judge and shrugged my shoulders and she dismissed it.
