street tuning and cops dont mix- found this out last night
out doing a few pulls to double check some changes i made because my friend wanted to get the wideband back, and of course in my small ass town i wind up driving by a cop. i was definately well into 4th gear at this time at wot, so i was going roughly 95-100 mph. one thing lead to another and i wound up with 4 tickets, all of which were dumb ---- like the cop thought i made a turn too fast, but the worst of which was for 81 in a 55. well i was definately going much faster that that, so either he clocked me before i went past, or he had no idea and was making this all up. anyway, now im gonna have to go to court in like 6 months when i have less than no cash and deal with this. bad night, bad situation, bad outcome. damn
oh, when he was giving me the i am awesome supercop and you are honda ------- speach, the cop goes " i heard your little turbocharger going shshshshshs when you drove by me". hahaha i almost wanted to be like yo man its not little, but i didnt. i told him it was my intake, because i didnt want them to get under my hood. |

The only way you'll get your car impounded over here if they pop the hood is if they check VINs. |
Re: street tuning and cops dont mix- found this out last night
Damn that sucks there is nothing I hate more than getting a ------ ticket.
All cops around here are assholes towards import guys. Hope the tuneing went well |
Re: street tuning and cops dont mix- found this out last night
I dont understand the whole points thing with your liscense? What is it? We dont have that in Illinois.

Re: street tuning and cops dont mix- found this out last night
smaptoe... where are you from anyway? Yea around here, somtimes cops will do crap like that, even if they dont have you on radar (my guess is that he guessed and didnt have you on radar) They have points in NY too, but take it to court and get it all reduced, usually they will drop the points for driving school and a fine (~$100)

every state is different, but in most states, they have a points system that determines whether or not you get to keep your liscence or not. every type of violation has a different amount of points.... for example, running a stop sign is 3 points & going 100 in a 45 is 4 points. when you accumulate points, you become in jeopardy of losing your liscence. the trick is to not have any points on your liscence, but if you have any, they take off so many points per year. also, this is a way that insurance companies monitor your driving record. When they see that you have a points violation on your driving record, they take it upon themselves to rape http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/ban-hump.gif you even harder month by month by increasing your premium. http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/broke.gif |

in ny, if you get more than 2 speeding convictions within 18 mos you lose your lisence

Re: street tuning and cops dont mix- found this out last night
just start start saving cash now its not gonna be that bad, my last 2 tickets cost me ~$2000 including a lawyer and both included driving w/o a license
and if you setup a payment plan with the clerks office it wont hit you as hard. here in arlington VA, as long as you make steady payments(at least 1 per month) you can take as long as you like |
Re: street tuning and cops dont mix- found this out last night
I live in Illinois too, no emissions testing, no points, just corn.
If you ever get pulled over, play stupid and do not admit to speeding at all. Even if you're going 150 in a 15mph school zone, as far as you're concerned, you were going 10mph with your hazards on while laying on the horn to ensure no little kids run out infront of you. And if they ever say they heard your turbo or heard your (anything under the hood) tell them it was something else like your alternator or an exhaust leak. If they ever insist you were speeding around, ask for proof and if they can't provide it, yet still insist you were speeding or driving irresponsibly, thats when you ask for the badge number so you can report them to their commander for harassment. Even if they have proof, I still wouldn't admit I was speeding, would take it to court and fight it still, either they clocked the guy in the lane next to me or they did not get an accurate reading. If all else fails, throw a salute out from the chest and pay the fees. |
Re: street tuning and cops dont mix- found this out last night
Well where I live in Illinois during the sumer a sub of Chicago we have emissions but down in Champaign( central Illinois) by U of I where I live during the school year they dont have emissions, no inspections, and no noise ordinances

Re: street tuning and cops dont mix- found this out last night
oh im definately going to plead not guilty to all of them. since they each wrote me 2 tickets, there is a better chance that some tickets might get dropped due to an officer not showing up.
accordepicenter- only 2 points? thats not bad. im not really worried about the fines, its just i have 2 cars and i dont feel like having my insurance go sky high at this point in my life. (but i did speed so if it happens ill deal with it). does anyone in ny know how many points 81 in a 55 is? the incident occured on a state road, the points the same throughout the state???? |
