the cop can also use that in court cause you admitted guilt ...

i guess the cop was on a good day

the best way to get out of ticket ... don't get into one (i.e. don't break the law)
well, i'm the kinda person who feels that if i get caught breaking traffic rules, then i'll accept the consequences. thus, if i get ticketed for a violation, and i know i commited that violation, i don't intend to challenge it. i'm a firm believer of "if you can't do the time, then don't do the crime."

lmao....The first time I was pulled over, I was 16 and doing 50 in a 35(I honestly thought the limit was 45 since the street was huge). I was so nervous when he was talking to me that when asked for my license, I instinctively pulled out my debit card. He told me to calm down and ended up giving me a warning of course.

I lived in Ocean City, MD summer 1990 and got 2 tickets...when they realized I lived there they were like "show up at the trial and we won't"...ahahha.... so I claimed "not guilty" and walked on both of them.

I tried that with my stop light ticket (which I clearly went through as red) but the cop showed.... so I left...

back in High School we got chased by lots of cops. My buddy and I had motorcycles and always seemed to do something dumb to get chased. I got my Hit and Run in my car at 18 and he got caught "eluding" by himself so we each paid $300+ and lost our licenses for 6 months...hahaha... the good old days.

we grew up in a little town (30k people) and little parental supervision (I lived with just my old man who left me for 3 weeks in 11th grade to go to hawaii... ahahhaha)....that was a pretty funny 3 weeks.......... anyway... with little supervision we acted like retards and somehow didn't get caught most of the time.

I got underage drinking, destruction of a 7/11 sign (big rocks make funny noises...ahah) and the moving violation tickets...

I think a handful of us regularly drove or rode motorcycles so drunk that we didn't remember it.... luckily no one died.

I've gotten out of being stopped for illegal exhaust, and I got a 124 in a 65 knocked down to a 69 in a 65. $70 fine, no points, not even a look about the 5% tint. Haha.

I've gotten dinged one fix-it for a legitimately (full-length) window crack.

The only other time I've been pulled over was for a right-turn-on-red in a non-RTOR corner. Got out of that.

Otherwise, the scenario is like this:
1. Cop car gets near me.
2. Cop does a quick glance.
3. Cop sees that I see him.
4. Cop goes away.

I must clearly have that, "I'm going to cause you more paperwork than it's worth" look about me.
