Give the officer the respect he deserves. He is doing the job that the tax payers hired him to do. It is not glorious and he deals with the scum of the earth as well as experiencing situations that none of us would ever want to see.
Pay the ticket.

Yeah in the Bay Area I always get pulled over for Tint and no front plate. Just know its going to happen eventually.
BTW, all my police officer and sheriff friends make over 6 digits easy. My CHP friend started at 75k as a rookie and now makes well over 6 digits.

There is no way a radar gun is accurate to 1mph. It has to reflect off the car and would change biased on the shape of the car. Also I believe the color even has to do with it.
Giving someone a 1mph ticket is a waste of taxpayer’s money because I would defiantly go to court on that one. They must rely on people from out of town that more than likely would just pay that. That is like giving someone a fine for spitting their gum out the window. 6 years ago I had my grand prix gtp break down on the high way. It was 100 deg out and I had a baby in the back seat. A state trooper pulled in front of me, used my open hood as a cover to block him from on coming traffic. I started to walk toward his car when he took off to go pull someone over for speeding. I know this because I got it to start 10 min later and I passed him, He never even checked to see if I was ok. Guess he was looking to write tickets and not help anyone out. Some officers are nice and others are defiantly not. If u are speeding you are rolling the dice on what u get.

OP I understand your rant though. Could always be worse though. At least he pulled you over for a reason. When I was younger and lived in Fishers, IN still living at home, I would get pulled over almost every month for absolutely nothing. I had a Dodge Magnum (dont tease) when they were cool (yes they were cool for a year or two) that was my DD and show car. I would get tailed on the regular and twice pulled over for no reason just to be asked if I had drugs and/or weapons in the car. It got so bad that when I was pulled over twice in 2 weeks I told the cop to tell the rest of them in that town to leave me alone because they weren't going to get me for anything at all ever. Never once got a ticket or violation in that car either.

Get a receipt for the tint telling what the % is and you will be good. Most states require a officer to test the tint with a window tint meter prior to giving a ticket. Just produce a receipt or a sworn statement from a LEO and go to court. As for the front plate deal, you were warned multiple times, the law is the law.

They are ALL overpaid, just saying, considering the rest of the officers in the country make nothing. Oh and CHP officers are the worst in the industry. |

Had a CHP let me off on a warning in the Camaro once. He'd clocked me at 92.
I won't be rolling that die again, that's for sure. Just as effective (if not more) than throwing the book at me.

To be honest if I were a cop I would catch everyone with a possible violation. But I wouldn't take anyone to jail for speeding. If they were going 104 in a 75, I'd just say "here's your ticket, and please do it when others and I aren't around!"

rule of thumb is to keep your speed no more than 5 mph over the limit anywhere you go.
I drive 40 miles each way to work, keep the cruise at 70, and you can basically ignore any cops you see. letting people blow on by you is a hell of a lot better than tickets and higher insurance payments.

Exactly. Want to go fast? Go to the track with the big boys, and where the speed actually matters.

yep.. but that's speaking to a very small amount of people who want to go fast. But for others.. it's not so much a place to do it.. but just an utter disregard for anything. We currently have an issue here in California regarding side shows and freeway take overs. It's basically a middle finger to all gov, LE, and law abiding citizens.

People have no idea what modern day law enforcement entails and the cop bashing that goes on around here has been outlawed recently.
