I've never gotten a speeding ticket. I've been pulled over 3 times. Never ticketed. Once for accidentally running a light at night, speeding home and speeding to work. All fixed with some respect and understanding. Tell them where your going and be polite. If they want they will write you a ticket. Remember, they are doing YOU a favor by not writing you one. At that moment you are guilty until proven innocent.

I don't remember whining? Never even made a thread here about it. Maybe people in Idaho can't read, but the statement "I paid my fine, I went to school" usually means that you've admitted that you were wrong, and put your big boy pants on and took care of it. Never wined about the ticket, wined about the officer who took his rage over his fat wife out on me.

Maybe people in Florida can't comprehend, I didn't say anything about whining about the ticket.

I had a friend get pulled over for 75 in a 40. His third time getting pulled over, second ticket. Cop asked him where he was headed, do you know why I pulled you over, and then let him go with a $220 ticket. I get pulled over for the first time ever for 50 in a 40, and I'm not even given the chance to tell the officer where I'm going, just a big fat "Here's your $260 ticket, pay it by this date or go to jail. Slow down."

it sucks but at the end of the day we were speeding. He doesn't have to be nice about it. He doesn't get paid to be nice. He gets paid to enforce the law, and bend it when he sees it moral

I will give you that, some of these new guys are letter of the law type of guys with an ego. I try to give the younger crowd a break depending on their attitude. I would say 50% of the time a warning is effective.

Most cops are not dicks, or anything else. Most would rather help you out than give a ticket or worse. Many times I've been on the shoulder with truck trouble, and a LEO stop to make sure I'm alright. I had a kid in a beat up 150, after "shooting the gap", hit the side of my truck. My lugs wore a hole the length of his truck. No one hurt, but he doesn't know how close to dying he was. It shook me up more than that idiot. The Indiana trooper that showed up, after it was over, actually sat in my big truck with me, making sure I was settled down. Damn nice guy I thought.
There are exceptions to any rule, I experienced a DOT guy a couple years back, that decided to do an inspection on my truck, that was after I was the sole witness to a rollover. I don't care if they want to inspect my truck, have at it, but this guy was just plain arrogant. Many drivers complained to his supervisor, as far as I know, he doesn't work out of St. Ignace anymore.

I have never been pulled over, I obey the traffic laws to avoid getting pulled over.
