Court was at 1pm Central today.. I got there and found that there were two courtrooms A-L in room A, and M-Z in room 2. I head to room two. I sit there while the judge gives his little speach.. Then I hear this:
"Those of you who are here for the first time for this specific incident, will approach me and either Plead guilty and pay the fine, or ask for trial. I will then give you another court date"
WTF.
So I go up there and show him my proof of insurance, he tells me "I dismiss the charge of no proof of insurance" and then he asks me what I wanted to do on the speeding. I tell him: I would like to request a trial. I then tell him, to be honest sir, this ticket is absurd -- I was going 10mph and he gave me a driving to fast for conditions ticket, "Is there any way to get this thrown out".. Well apparently that didnt please him, lol.
He told me that is what my trial is for, to hear both sides of the story. He then gave me the choice of these two dates: Sept 30th & Oct 7th for my trial. Well considering my wife is due on Sept 22nd, I had to take the 7th.
ARRRGh What a waste of tax dollars.

Should have just asked if the court costs are going to be tax deductible while you were at it.

I've got a feeling you may be the first to get a speeding ticket taken off your record. Even when it was of no fault to your own, just feel sorry about all the work you have to go through.

Last night I was sitting in a parking lot with about 10 other motorcycles.. I had been siting there for about 20-30 mins just chatting with the guys. 5 of us decide it was time to leave and go do some riding.
RIGHT when I started up my bike, 5 cop cars were coming tward us, I turned on my signal and exited the parking lot. I was going MAYBE 10mph when he turned on his lights and pulled me over. I IMMEDIATELY pulled over and shut off my bike. He came up to me and asked me for my license.
He was gone quite awhile and came back and asked me for my insurance. I got in my bikes trunk and gave it too him, unfortuneatly the CARD was expired, and I tried to explain to him that I am fully insured, with the same place, same policy number.. So he went back to his car for another 20mins.
Then ANOTHER cop car came up. And then ANOTHER. I had THREE cop cars behind me.
After about 20 more mins or so, he comes back and hands me a ticket. FOR GENERAL SPEEDING. I ask him, "A ticket for speeding? I didnt go over 10mph" he tells me:
"I know you have sped sometime tonight... You are on a sportbike so I know that you have. This is a ticket for speeding"
I was like WTF. Sir, I was NOT speeding, I was sitting in a parking lot, and decided it was time to GO HOME. He started to get more "dickish" telling me that I should be happy that he wasnt towing my bike and not going to jail!
I told him: Seriously officer, I have not been doing ANYTHING wrong, and I know why you pulled me over... You pulled in behind me and turned on your lights to see if I would run. I tried being the good guy and stopped. (my buddies of course ran and got away) I then said, this is harrassment, I WAS NOT SPEEDING, you cant give me a ticket for speeding. Are you filming this?
He then said (with a smirk): Nope, we are not filming this, we will see you in court.
WTF. At this point I was pissed. I told him that I have several friends that are lawyers, and that I will be calling the city and filing a complaint. He then called over another officer and the other officer told me that if I dont sign the ticket IMMEDIATELY, they are towing my bike and I was getting a free night in the city jail. (KCK btw -- not exactly where I wanted to go)
So I said a few words about how proud I was of them protecting the "community" from the evil motorcycle guy who was going motherfvcking 10mph and signed the god damn motherfcuking ticket.
NOW I AM PISSED. I want to go to court and get this guy fired.
I am looking for some GTA graphics or something so I can explain exactly what happened. I cant find them on google.. I am looking for GTA2 Sprites of the Motorcycle and the Cop car.. I had a very bad night last night (got pulled over and ticketed for doing NOTHING other than riding a motorcycle) and I want to make a graphic showing what happened..
so pissed right now arrgh!
Cliffs
1. I was in a parking lot with my motorcycle
2. Cop gave me a speeding ticket
3. When asked why, he told me he knew I was speeding at some point last night
4. When I asked anything else he told me to shut up or go to jail.

You shouldn't have told him your opinions on it. I just knew he was going to react that way as soon as you said that. =0)
