March 8, 200917 yr SUCK! Who has gotten out of a ticket and how? And, if you got them, what was it for?
March 8, 200917 yr Well, I've gotten 4 tickets within a 2 week period. The first two were by Hialeah Police for "not using a turning signal to pass a car", and the second was a seatbelt ticket. Then I got a ticket for not making a complete stop at a blinking red arrow, and another seat belt ticket by a Miami Lakes cop. But all were dropped because my cousin's a cop (fluxuation's brother) and a very good friend of my parents is a Hialeah cop. I usually don't get tickets if I do get pulled over because of the PBA badge on the tag, but some cops just don't care. Luckily, the ones that still gave me tickets dropped them once they spoke to my cousin, and my parents friend.
March 8, 200917 yr Author WTF I need a friend who's a cop then! Amazingly, I got two tickets in a month.
March 8, 200917 yr Been pulled over around 25 times.. Only 2 tickets (both in Miami Lakes) and rest were in Hialeah, but my cousin is a officer for Hialeah so when i talk to the cops and tell them his my cousin they tell me to have a nice day and leave.
March 8, 200917 yr i got a ticket for going 30 miles over the speed limit on i75. i won myself a court date and a $225 fine. fun times

March 8, 200917 yr Don't have the privlige of driving yet but i really don't need to worry about tickets in weston the cops are lazy as hell here. My mom was doing 80 in a 45 area and a squad car was there with the speed gun and just let us go. They get vicious the days of the month when they give tickets to earn extra money.
March 8, 200917 yr Author Hialeah/Miami Lakes police, along with Miami Springs would have to be the worst. They'll pull you over for anything. Ugh. Kendall police don't really care, thankfully. Most of the time they'll pull me over for speeding but let me go.

Most of the time they'll pull me over for speeding but let me go. Correction, Sweetwater cops are the worst. On tickets, I got one for turning where you can't turn on red. It was 1AM and there was no one around but the cop. Plus it was ridiculously dark and I didn't see the "no-turn on red" sign. My lawyer says that ticket doesn't exist anymore.
March 8, 200917 yr Author Hah! My last ticket was for doing just that. I made a right turn on a red light and got the ticket for doing that. Apparently, there was a sign saying "No turn on red" but I never saw it (it was 3AM!). I still believe I deserved a warning for that, not a ticket. A-hole cop.

March 8, 200917 yr I got 394 violations in a span of 3 months. Reason behind this 3 months ago I bought a new house, new car, and new Sunpass. I thought I had the Sunpass on auto-replenish, so I kept driving through the tolls. Never really occurred to me to check my bank account since I thought it was being pulled right out and didn't really care about periodical $20 deductions. Turns out I had been passing through the tolls with no funds, and I wasn't getting my violation warnings because the post office messed up my change of address. Last week though I got over 400 letters from Sunpass and the Expressway Authority. I owed $394 in tolls, which I didn't care about paying because I did go through the tolls and did owe it, but 11 of the violations have already gone to court and each one comes with a $200 fine and 3 points on my license. So yeah, I'm pretty pissed off.

March 10, 200917 yr I don't get tickets. When I get pulled over, it's either for something stupid or they feel stupid after the pulled me over. Townies pull me over because they're bored. Staties pull me over because I may have been going to fast, but once they see my spotless record, they apologize for pulling me over and tell me not to worry about and. And county sheriffs never pull me over because county sheriff departments rule.
March 10, 200917 yr I got two... one of them I managed to get cancelled through connections.. and the most recent one, I'm about to come off probation for. It was only for 15 over. I need to go to driver improvement class though or else it won't be cancelled!
March 10, 200917 yr I just got one last weekend, first ticket I've had in like 10 years so I'm pretty pissed. Doing 60 on a 45 mph road where most cars are doing 70.
March 10, 200917 yr I get pulled over because cops dig redheads. :thumbup Actually, I was speeding through a residential section and the police officer actually got caught at a light. I pulled over and waited for him to catch up (yes- some think this is stupid but wait until the story ends). He did and was amazed that I actually pulled over. I said that he would have caught me anyway and yes, I was speeding and why not fess up and admit it. He said that he never met anyone who was so honest and let me go with a warning.

Yeah that probably works 90% of the time, I always thought that if I ever get pulled over for speeding or whatever I would just admit I did something wrong and hope it works lol... I have only been pulled over once and that was because it was like 2 am and my car had the dealers paper license plate on my rear window and supposedly the cop couldn't see it, so since I hadn't done anything wrong he just let me go.
