Speeding Ticket

yeah you got me, government organizations being accountable to the people who fund them seems excessive.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which is precisely what I said.

Reading FTW.

What I said, and I'll try to dumb it down a bit...

They take paper complaints because if its important enough that you have to file a legit complaint, what "trouble" is it to you to take 5 minutes, print a form and put it in your damn mailbox?

Or, you could whine about having to actually do something for yourself on an internet forum. That won't change anything, but it sure does make it more entertaining for me.

Do you realize what you're even complaining about?

I was being super sarcastic.

edit: it was probably harder for them to put up a pdf than it would be to just build the form into their website. Also reading complaints and having them in some sort of database is miles ahead of accepting mail suggestions. This isnt 1963.

lololol. complaining about 100 bucks. I just got a 400 dollar ticket in california. boooo yah, im sure glad we have the highway patrol to "enforce safety". They should just change their name to "tax collection based on who we feel like collecting from". I have been pulled over 4 times, 0 warnings. I have been in a car where a girl got pulled over 3 times and they got 0 tickets. The CHP should literally be shut down and paying out massive class action lawsuits, not given a position of massive power.

They should change their name to "Tax Collection Service of People Who Drive Better Cars Than Us, Provided They Don't Have Boobs"

Fair enough. It just seems to me that it makes plenty of sense to use paper forms, at least for the type of thing where you don't want to enable 25000 people a day complaining about the ticket they got. I think things like the paper forms (and I will admit I have spent VERY little time in CA and have no experiences with CHP) are a great way to kinda prevent people from just going off in 30 seconds on the internet because they're pissed.

Whatever dude, you like peyton manning. Burrrrrrrrrrrn!

ask to see the radar gun because they technically have to keep it logged in the radar gun and it'll digitally show it to you.

[not a model]

just throw the ticket in the trash. and if the government calls you just tell them to lick some balls.

Now maybe I am completely off here, but can you ask a cop to see his radar gun reading if you don't believe him when you get pulled over?

[/ QUOTE ]

You can, but I doubt he'd show you. They do have to prove calibration though, and they must have the certificate at court to prove it.

In all fairness to myself, the roads were icy, the cops were out in force, and it was early in the morning and I hadn't had my coffee yet.

I normally go 75-80 on that stretch... the one day I drive a more reasonable speed I get pulled over... wtf?

[PITTM]

I got pulled over doing 112 in a 65 once. Somehow the cop said I was going 75. Then I went to court and the cop didnt show up so i paid nothing. gg justice system.
