speeding ticket!!
First of all I want to point out what a jerk this officer was to begin with, so freaking rude the way he talked but anyway. So this was the deal….I was taking my kids to school and we were close to the circle drive there was an old lady in a car in front of us pulling into the drive, where other cars already were, of course she comes to a dead stop and is still in the road. I am behind her I stop, completely, I made a comment about her looking around like she was lost and my son said "that’s my science teacher." She pulled into the drive a little but was still partially in the road but enough for me to go by. I pulled around her from the stop and went about 5 yards, the cop said he clocked me on laser doing 32 in a school zone!! There’s no freaking way my mini van went from 0-32 in 5 yards! I told him "there’s no way I was speeding I was at a dead stop, I had to pull around that lady in front of me because she was stopped in the road," he said "I know but I got you on laser ma’am, and I saw you weaving in and out of traffic" WHAT?!?!?! Seriously, because my front tire went over the freaking middle line by a foot or 2? Seriously?!?! This is some bs! I never speed in school zones, and when people do it ticks me off so why would I be? There were people pulling out from the drive and taking off, I saw 2 cars put their brakes on really fast so I can guarantee it was one of them not me. I am so mad, that’s a $207 ticket. UGH!!!

ANITA!!! I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!
Now that I have that out of the way… speeding tickets suck!!
However, since I tend to be a speed demon, I usually just hold my hand out nicely for the ticket and say ‘thank you’. They are never expecting that! lmao But I would be totally pissed if I wasn’t speeding and ended up getting one!

cops are always right, even when they’re wrong.

Yep. Fight this one. That is total bull shit. Get that science teacher to testify. That dude was probably having a bad day so he needs to take it out on someone. Use as much evidence you can to show that your van can’t go from 0-35 within 5 yards. And when the Judge says what your saying is ridiculous, you say, ‘EXACTLY, THIS WHOLE TICKET IS RIDICULOUS!’
I became a cop for the very reason of, the customer is never right, as opposed to retail stores where its the other way around which annoys the living HELL outta me. But There are some ******* cops that truly abuse this privilege. Just one reason outta many why I dont want to be a cop no more.
