BB2004 Posted December 13 Posted December 13 I got a questionable traffic ticket going through a red light. One of those in between the intersection either slam on your breaks or go through. The cop pulls me over a mile down the road ready to get on the highway. A debatable ticket at best turned into a 15 min staying in the car waiting. Two more local police officers come by and probably thought I was drinking. They were probably doing whatever they could to write up a phony ticket. My question is, are these tickets a scam to get 164 dollars from drivers to give to the state? Really having issues with community police. I get if you are speeding or there is a significant issue, but some of these tickets are ridiculous. 1

We don't call @The Frankish Reich 'The Fixxer' for nothing. Write his name on the front, draw a picture of a weiner on the back, and tell them you have better things to do then "stop" at "intersections" and "wait" in your "car". This will go away, probably? 2

One of our local communities had the red light cameras and then adjusted the yellows to a shorter time frame than other ones in the area. That eventually became against state law but not before the mayor was kicked out of office by pissed off locals.
Irv Posted December 13 Posted December 13 The police were obviously searching desperately for @BillStime. BTW - this has been discussed at length on Off The Wall: Red Lights and Stop Signs

You should have known when you punched it and the light was yellow that there was a possibility that you could get a ticket . I've done it just like every one else but many many drivers are in way to big of a hurry now days to get no where fast . I see it all the time, i drive professionally for a living in a very large vehicle and there is no more driver courtesy, every one has to be first & in a hurry, and heaven for bid that you allow a bigger, slower vehicle to get in front of you ! OMG !! As one of my elders use to say "Let this be a lesson to you" all of us (including myself) need to slow down a bit & these types of things might not happen . Just saying ... Plus if they knew for any reason you were a tried and true Bills fan then they know you are a drinker so then there's that ...
