Lastly, the cop did not have any 'moving violations' to write or obviously he would have...but thanx for the 'excessive excelerating' charge. I'll be sure to add that to the list. What is YOUR process for litigation.

It's Maryland...cite the cop for having the UGLIEST COLOR EVER PAINTED ON A POLICE CRUISER...Ugh. That color should be cited for lewd conduct and littering all at once.

Good story though...you must have ticked him off when you took off. Thanks for the LOL.

is these points

THANKS FOR SHARING I'LL LAY OFF THE PEDAL COMING THRU YOUR AREA
THEY GIVE OUT TICKETS HERE ON SOUTH STREET FOR LOUD BIKES

[Smirnoff]

You should have apologized to the officer & offered an explanation (foot slipped, etc ) & quick resolution to avoid all those tickets.....

[RANGERGOD]

He was just being a d**k. He has the discretion to let you off easy or try to ruin your month, he chose the latter.

You should do pretty good in court though.

[HookemHorns]

I would fight them, that is just ridiculous. How can he tell if your exhaust was illegal, did he have anything to test it?

[ffrcobra_65]

you shoulda offered to cover the dry cleaning cost for his soiled underpants and powdered sugar stained shirt...maybe he woulda let u off with a warning.

Note to self: stay the hell out of MD.

I was born and raised there sold my house and moved to PA 2 years ago. A lot of cops there are on serious power trips. Look up the video of the off duty statey in civies pulling over a dude popping wheelies on a rice rocket at gun point.

Make sure you go to court, most of the tickets issued are beatable. I also thank you for sharing. As far as JCAMARO, don't waste your time responding to him.

Sucks to get the ticket. I am curious, however, why the trooper would be so pissed? I've only had officers pissed at me once, and I definately deserved it.

Why? Because I was driving home from Glendale, CA to Pacific Palisades, CA back in the early 80's in my 73 Dodge Charger SE, which had a 440 magnum in it. It was 2:00am and I was young and stupid. I was driving south on I-5 from the Valley to Sunset Blvd over the "pass", probably doing about 120-140. Yes, stupid.

I got off on Sunset Blvd, turned right and went the speed limit at that point along sunset heading West. This car came up behind me flashing it's headlights at me about 2 minutes later, then started tailgating. I ended up turning up a street into the hills and the guy was following, so I jumped on the throttle to lose this person because I had no idea who they were. It was a station wagon, and couldn't keep up, but I had to turn around because there really was no outlet. The guy ended up trying to block me, but I got around them.

Eventually, the station wagon pulled up next to me and I flipped off the passenger. Who then pulled out a badge. I pulled over immediately, in a fire station, and got out. They had drawn guns, and had me get on the ground, face down. They were pissed, and off duty.

Still, they let me go...pretty much with a verbal warning. I got off light.

My point? Cops that get pissed USUALLY have a reason...at least in my experience.

Thats interesting, I prob would've took off when they tried to pull out their badge.. Anyone can get a "badge" now a days..
