Improper use of the turn lane when I was 17.

I was on a highway (2 lanes each direction wiht a middle turn lane) in my hometown approaching a major intersection where i was going to turn left. I'm maybe 100 yards or so from the intersection and get over into the turn lane and approach the light. Everything is good so I turn and when I look in my rearview there's lights behind me. Come to find out I go a ticket for getting into the turn lane "too early".

That was pretty bogus.

I was behind a car at a redlight on Hooper rd at the entrance ramp to I220 at rush hour on the way to work. They have a double whittle line there so people don't try to squeeze in at the last moment. The car in front of me broke down when the light turned green, so I go around him and got a ticket from the motorcycle cop parked under the overpass. I was perplexed and asked him if I was supposed to wait until the guy got his car repaired but he was a jerk and wouldn't answer me.

If you would have read his post he stated the car flew by him. He cut the guy a break

Seatbelt ticket.

I was in the turn lane on Nicholson to get on Bluebonnet. Cop passes me going the other direction (at ~50 or so mph). Whips his car around and pulls me over on Bluebonnet.

Writes me a ticket for no seatbelt while I was wearing my seatbelt. Said he couldn't see the seatbelt on me when he drove by.

I was wearing a black shirt, sitting on black leather seat, and my seatbelt was a black strap.

He accused me of putting my seatbelt on while he was pulling me over.

Total bullshite.

I got a DWI in December. I was not in my car, the car wasn't turned on, no keys were in the car, etc. I was in my bed asleep. I had drank four beers in as many hours. I got home around 12:30 am and was woken up by policemen at my front door. They said that someone (not a cop) had called in my license plate number and said I seemed intoxicated. I passed the field sobriety test but like a fricking idiot I admitted to drinking before getting behind the wheel. So now I've gotta deal with all this fricking bullshite with the courts.

What do I win?

This did not happen. And if it did, you have an extensive criminal background and no lawyer.

Avoiding a red light.

Cut through a shopping center parking lot to get from one street to another. To well... avoid waiting at the red light.

Also got pulled over one time for giving the officer a "hard look". Whatever that is. No ticket. Just a "be on your way and be safe" thing.

Littering during Mardi Gras. However, it was after I flipped off a policeman who was directing traffic. I was a non-conformist, spoiled brat 17 year old kid at the time and I deserved it.

You're right. I made all that up for my own entertainment. I have no criminal background and got an attorney.

Driving back to LA from Atlanta (Christmas) 2009 on the Interstate and got pulled over for speeding in a construction zone. No one was working that day, just the cop. I can't remember the speed, but the fine was between $600 - $900.
