I walk over and close the pump. The officer turns on his lights calls me over and asks if this was my car. My answer was "Yessir"- he then asks for my license. I tell him "Here you go but why do you need to see it, I wasnt driving" "-Sorry about the plate-I continued "forgot to switch it- it's right here in the trunk" (New tag was for when I redid my registration to take EddieSr. off of it, so- same name anyway) Long story short. The officer wrote me a ticket for Driving w/ a susp. License. He had me dead to rights on the tag even switched it to comply right there in front of him- but the driving?! *A friend drove me to the pump and didn't return when he saw the officer (then K9 backup)*... I am so glad that if my car is ever stolen the police will discover it before you can call "Onstar". Or say the word "profiling" even. Watch your back Camaro brethren! There are cops out here who have a hard-on for these cars (And maybe certain drivers of said cars). I am convinced of this now. Needles to say I am going to fight this in court. Wish me luck!
*My story and I'm sticking to it.* |
and my first post on this forum:
you were being stupid and the cop got ya, follow these simple instructions to fix this:
1. Pay your ticket and shut up.
2. Pay all of your Court fees & fines, apologize to the Court for beng an idiot.
3. Don't drive on a suspended license. It was probably suspended cause you drive like an idiot, or even worse, you didn't do what the Court told you to do or pay your fees & costs, because you, in your brilliance, decided to fight a $125 dollar ticket, and allow the courts to up your fine up to $500 including court costs.
4. When you get your license back, don't drive like an idiot, or you might get a ticket.
5. if you do get a ticket, refer to #1.
6. Oh, get new friends.
