daveRL vs. County cop

Not a kill as in a race but as in court. I got pulled over back on the 7th of May for passing in a non passing zone. But the thing is that it was a passing zone and I pled not guilty and got a court date set. Here is my post from before about this right after I got the ticket. 2nd ticket in the redline......
I took some of the advice that I was given from that post (thanks to all of you). But it was a waste because after sitting there for 15-20min waiting for the cop to show up. The judge came to me and said that ticket was dismissed the day the cop turned it in. He said the cop claimed that he went back and looked at the road markings after he let me go and said that the road had been repainted since he last saw it and he didn't know they painted it as a passing zone. Well, you can easily tell that the road had not been painted for a long time so he must have just been trying to make a quota and used that as an excuse because he didn't want to look like a fool. He claimed he tried to call me and tell me that he dismissed the ticket. But said the number had been disconnected. I have had that number for years so I know I gave him the right number and it has never been disconnected. When I went in to plead not guilty they could have told me then but they didn’t. Then once they set the court date they should have seen it was dismissed. Should have sent me a letter saying it was dismissed instead of sending me a letter telling me when to appear in court. But no, I had to take a ½ days vacation to show up for court for a case where I was innocent. Just because the cop didn't know the road markings.
Now if I had went in, plead guilty and pay the fine. They would have took my money, added points to my licenses and went on about their business. I would have been out 100-200 bucks and my insurance would have gone up just because they didn’t know he dismissed the ticket the day he wrote it.

Sorry for the long post but cops piss me off all the time (getting by with the S*** they do) and in a case like this just makes it worse.

Ya know, you may not like cops in general but let me tell you, he could have gone in there and nailed you and you WOULD have paid my friend. Instead, as you mentioned, "the cop claimed that he went back and looked at the road markings after he let me go and said that the road had been repainted since he last saw it and he didn't know they painted it as a passing zone." From what you said he did this the day the ticket was written. He did the honest thing because it was the right thing to do, not because your cornered him in court.

In fact, I would lay odds that there have been more then a time or two you WERE speeding- all of us have done that at least a few times. We would not have bought a RL if we couldn't push it once in a while.

So lighten up and consider yourself lucky.

I hope you get robbed one day only so the cop say Oh wait I met my quota have a nice fucking day. People who hate cops are people who consistantly do shit wrong. Those are the people who should get stolen from instead of people who do what they are suppose to. Just remember that if any one ever vandilizes your ride or robs your house dont call the cops because you wouldnt call someone you hate to find your stuff would you?

I mentioned about a ticket that I got before. The day I went turned out to be a warning. I was really lucky that I didn't have to pay nothing. But why did the police officer that pulled me over said for me to go to court?

dude fuck that, I had a fucken dude shove a SKS in my face one night while delivering pizzas. The cops didn't do SHIT!! said it was his word against mine. I guess the guy would have had to shoot me in order for it to be something the cop could arrest him for.

That is why I feel about cops the way I do, I don't really hate them but I know a lot of people I like better. You trust the law untill the screw you more than they help!

I have had a lot of property damage from a drunk neighbor and the city cops claimed that there was nothing they can do about it. He told me that while he was sitting there in my driveway watching him. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that they were drinking buddies. But he was on the job and should been doing his job. Then there was another case when I was in an accident (not my fault) and it took the cops 1½hrs to get there , police station less than 10 min away. So where were they when I needed them. As for the robbery I had a wallet stolden once and I was told (from the cop) the best thing I can do is cancel my credit cards, they didn't want to file a report untill I keept after them. Do I need to go on? That is why I ignore them as much as possible and don't call them! If I were to call them it will just to be put on record and not for expecting help.

mi redline.
I do consider my self lucky but I could have been notified so I didn't have to take time off work. He's the law he should have known the road markings before he pulled me over. And yes I have been above the speed limit and done other minor things (every one has) but I try obeying the laws as much as possible, I am not the one out causing real crimes and getting by with it. And besides I see cops in the wrong all the time, but that's OK for them because they are the law.<----Thats what pisses me off most.

In your case, Dave, I'd be pissed at the cop for being lazy, but don't use sweeping generalizations to say that you hate all cops; most cops are good people who do their jobs; I've met more than enough of them. The fact of the matter is the system in place now with the courts & the police departments is the real problem. Sorry to hear about your problem though.
