Beat: a ticket out of **** nowhere
 

So on my way to work I get pulled over and issued a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. When I attempt to point out to the officer that I am in fact wearing a seatbelt he says something along the lines of "you weren't wearing it when i stopped you" (I was). I say "see you in court" and take off.

I'm pretty much [censored] here, right ? Unless the [censored] doesn't show up in court there's pretty much no chance a judge would ever believe me. The ticket is only $40 + $50 surcharge but my belief in justice has now been mortally wounded.

Haha the vig is more than the actual ticket.

Where do you live where you can be pulled over for not wearing a seat belt??

In MA you can only get a ticket for that if they pull you over for something else.

Happened to me. You're f'd.
Your only chance is if he doesn't show up in court, and that's not likely.

LOL QUOTAS?

Chances are that he won't show up in court. But yeah, if he does then you're screwed.

again echoing the others unless you have some sort of pic/video data, you will pay the fine, unless the cop doesn't show to court.
i find it effective to reschedule the court date to another day, but do this when you only have like 3 days left to be able to.
and try to schedule it for a date that is closest to the orginal.

This same thing happened to me. I drive a tinted car and a cop pulls me over at 10pm on a monday when im driving to the gym. He says I wasnt wearing my seatbelt. Im like "oh [censored], im a [censored]" and oh wait i'm wearing my seatbelt. i tell him that and he basically tells me to suck it. I say "even if i wasnt, its impossible for you to correctly accuse me of it" Blah blah blah. He asks me if i was boozed up and then he checks my entire car. While this is going on, his dbag sidekick is just chuckling walking beside him. I was pissed but its not worth fighting.

NYPD has nothing better to do in Brooklyn than this?

When I lived in Upstate NY I'm pretty sure this would be considered an illegal stop, as I think you have to be doing something else illegal to be stopped in the first place. I got stopped for a 25 in a 15 (beat) a few years back and he let me off that ticket because I wasn't wearing a seatbelt and got ticketed for that instead.

Maybe the laws have changed in NY in the last 2 years.

BAD BEAT

Would you replace the y with an i and add an e and live there... you wouldn't have gotten a ticket.

Brookline FTW
