always at least attempt to move to the right. I had a officer turn his lights on going over a narrow bridge. Idk how he would think he is going to get passed me but I at least made it look like I was trying to move out of the way. Also sometimes these officers cause big accidents when this happens. They should really be more careful when they try to get by people.

View ticket was from detector. I'm going to go to court for these, or try to at least. See what I can have thrown out/reduced if anything. Maybe he won't show and I'll get lucky

That cop would have a field day here in Louisiana. So many people hang things from the rear view mirror, especially bead necklaces! Good idea about going to court to try and get some things worked out. Good luck!!!

Same happened to me on the highway, didnt see cop coming through traffic on the shoulder, he pulled up right nxt to me with windows down making a "weird hand motion" kind of like a get out the way! motion lol..

But I didnt get any tickets, he probably had to go do something.. I have a feeling if you didnt stop at the pizza shop he probably wouldnt of found you again to mess with you.

I saw a cop with his lights on a few bus lengths back when stopped at a traffic light. Light turned green, so I continued as normal. I saw him pull up behind another car that was behind me, and as I rounded the curve, I didn't see him follow. I went to turn left into a pizza shop (i had inched forward and was over the line at this point), and he pulled up behind me and went to go around on my left, almost cutting me off. He rolled down his window, briefly stopped next to me, and gave me this weird hand motion, then sped down the road past me. I pulled into the pizza shop to pickup my lunch, and when i came back out, he was in front of me with his lights on.

I got written for tints and radar detector (obstruction of view), which I can understand. Now, the third ticket was "Failure to yield to emergency vehicles" (citation 39:4-92). Am I really in the wrong for this? Perfectly okay if I am, just trying to get some outside perspective.

He also tried giving me citations for my rear window louvers, and my exhaust being too loud, but gave me verbal warnings.

You mean to say you don't know you are suppose to pull over to the side of the road when a police car come up behind you with its lights on . Your suppose to do that whether or not you are being pulled over . You got those tickets for not thinking .

Bet his tint was just as dark, his laptop was an obstruction of view, and the back seat cage is way more obstructing than your louvers. My 2 cents

In the cops defense, he sort of has a case since you didn't see him, including when you were starting to turn into him. Just sayin....

spadz93 · 08-19-2015, 04:10 PM

Like i said, i'm accepting of being in the wrong here, but I just felt it kinda over the top that he had to walk around my car and look for things wrong, especially since I wasn't being a dick to him. He was even being a snot about me handing him my reg and insurance in these small paper holders.

What town in NJ did this happen ?

I work for a trucking company. A hot ticket cops are starting to write is obstructed windshield.
Basically you can't put anything in the path of your windshield wipers.
It's a bull crap ticket but I am sure you can strike up a deal in court.

Pay more attention next time on what's going on around you while you drive....when you see the lights more the hell over...how hard is that...if the cop had time to pull up next to you and roll down his window and give you a hand jester....you had time to pull over in the first place.
