I get that it was unintentional, but please tell me what you think a dash cam is going to show. Your tires spun in front of a cop. I do not see where a dash cam is going to show anything. If the story as you tel it is true, I think it is overkill by the LEO. I have to be honest though, every time I have gotten in trouble in a car, I damn sure deserved it. I also have never seen any of this profiling that seems to be so evident on the site. It kind of makes me wonder.

I got a tint ticket in the the WS6 we had before the 1LE. I got the tint ticket because I pissed off a state patrolman going to fast and sliding the car a bit around a corner. Had I not been playing, he would have never pulled me over, but since he did not get the radar locked (or something), the only concrete evidence he had was dark tint. Was the tint really a big deal.....no. Had I just got caught playing...yes. Could it have been much worse....YES! |

Getting closer and closer to martial law these days. Almost a good thing we still have the 2nd because they'll be shooting us for chirping our tires next.

Do the cops in Canada have dash cams like in the US? that could be used as evidence to show the severity of the situation and possibly exonerate you if he was right behind you as you said.

yikes....
I was on an incline and the Hill assist was not engagin (strange) but it didn't... had a cop directly behind me.. and I also get a little nervous on inclines in my LS3 trying to find that perfect balance from Clutch to gas... anyhow... light turned green and I spun the back tires a little and thought shit... here goes... he pulled up next to me later at the next light and gave me a sheepish smile... I'm guessing he realized that my spin out was not on purpose.... any how... sheesh... that punishment is insane. Good luck getting this reduced if not thrown out.

Or the cop thought you were showing golf with a fast start and chirping tires. If this ever happens again I don't think you will get any leniency next time.

It goes a little like this. Office Joe you worked traffic duty over the last <insert time period> . During that time statistically you should have witnessed <insert number> of traffic violations. Based on your personal performance goals you are expected to "enforce the law" on <insert percentage number> of witnessed violations. This formula equals a certain number of tickets written. So the department does not have a quotas but a cop that does not write a certain amount of tickets could get a poor performance review. They get enough of those and disciplinary action occurs. Subtle difference but it allows the department to say " No we do not have quotas."
