Yea I get annoyed everyday in Texas. These fricking rent a cops always pulling people over for small shite. I was a cop for EBRSO. We didnt even have time to deal with the petty shite they pull people over for over here.

Yup. They love it. Makes half of them hard to give a ticket to the successful.

I completely agree. They never focus on the actual problem driver, just "speeding"

If you can find a black person breaking the law within 30 minutes they legally have to void your ticket.

In almost every single case, community Karens complain about speeding and politicians demand the police take action so they can get reelected under the guise f doing something.

Usually the person who b!tches about the speed trap is a Karen in their own community. Laws for thee but not for me.

Tennessee troopers on I-40 don’t play. A car like that will get you pulled over so the drug canine can sniff around. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. I can honestly say that I have deserved every one of the numerous speeding tickets that I have been issued over the past 30 years. Never been pulled over for going the speed limit or lower. Minding the speed limit works if you abide by it.

Has the OP explained why he shouldn’t have gotten a ticket for speeding when he was in fact speeding rather than letting the erratic driver he was trying to pass just stay ahead of him?



No, he just kept whining about getting caught? Thought so.

Discussing anything with police can only hurt you because they will never testify on your behalf.


This is bullshite. I've testified in many cases for the victim.

They will not, however, testify in your defense of breaking a law.

Ok, you're just one of *those*. May I introduce you to fellow poster Dex Morgan? You two would have quite the bromance

You dont know if their tags were expired. You saw the sticker which genuinely does not mean anything anymore.

Many stops I have made and see the sticker on plate be out of date but the registration in hand would be up to date and the new sticker still on it. Allow them to apply the new sticker and possibly cite them for what ever my probable cause was if applicable.

Slow the frick down and let the so called "erratic driver" alone because it kinda seems to me that you were driving erraticly as well.

This was my reaction as well.

He then came in and said he had a turn come up thus the need to speed by these cars.

If you have a turn come up, you don’t need to pass the two cars in front of you…just stay behind them and turn, especially in a 35 mph zone.

But yeah, this is the cop’s fault.

Bunch boot lickers in here brown nosing them cops. Much easier to go after petty speeding over real criminals committing real crimes.

Low hanging fruit is the most cliche corporate phrase. I absolutely hate hearing it. You deserve your ticket for using that phrase

I was passing an erratic driver so they didn't crash into me. Expired tags usually means no insurance. Guess next time I'll just let Shawnequa plow into me in her clapped out Altima.


Why didn't you hit the brakes instead and let her get ahead of you?
