reckless driving charge update

well after 3 court dates its over. turns out speeding does constitute reckless driving(all depending on your speed). i was gonna take this all the way to trial but my lawyer said it would be better if i accept the ''DEAL''.
DEAL-500.00 fine+211.00 court costs+2.00 something fee=713.00
i was in jail 18hrs when i was arrested. i was given 6 days in jail, credit for 3, even though i was only in 18 hrs.
if i would have went to trial-
we could only argue i wasnt going as fast as the cop said i was. if found guilty i would have had to serve a MINIMUM of 30 days in jail(so 9 days).
i gave the cocksuckers their money and drove my broke ass home! fuck the payment plan i wanted to get the shit over with. the payment plain is just another way they can FUCK you if you fuck up.
be careful guys and take note of my misfortune. i would have given them 1500.00 just to stay out of that stank ass jail
cl type Slow from now on...........

no way i was going over 70. i know thats still fast but this cop was just trying so hard to find something so he lied about my speed. his buddy said he would have given me a ticket. i know i wasnt going over 70 because i was coming around a short turn. i got mad when he asked me out of my car... he talked shit, i talked shit. thats why this happen. i had no idea he would pull some chicken shit stunt like that though.
o well, live and learn
most cops are pussies that wanna feel like a man and use the badge to do so.

sounds like a tough break man, makes me feel lucky about my situation, in may, i got 2 tickets from the same asshole motorcycle cop, i got a 6 point 300 dollar ticket for racing and a 6 point 200 dollar ticket for speeding 25 over the limit....i would have lost my lisense but luckily my lawyer got the racing ticket DROPPED and they reduced the speeding to a 4 point speeding and all i have to pay is 200 bucks even...plus 150 for the lawyer...

Dude sounds like you got screw. Yep you live and learn because it sounds like the argument is what landed you in jail.

Probably so because many years ago I got a ticket in East Texas about an hour out of Houston going to SA, I was doing 110 in a 55 and all I got was a fat ticket which I ended up getting it dismissed with traffic school.

I thought I was going to jail too but you know what...actually I never even said a word to the cop other than to answer how fast were you going? to which I promptly answered "about 85?"

Maybe the "little dicked" officer just thinks that exceeding the speed limit by greater than 100% is something that just should not be let go.

Funny that someone is saying the cop ( who is doing his job ) is trying to 'feel like a man', but the dude that is engaged in testosterone induced street racing is some kind of victum.
After all, when you win a street race, what does it prove? You didn't build the f**king car, Acura did. Stomping down hard with the right foot proves nothing.

Arguing with a cop is like arguing with the umpire. They hold all of the cards. Give them shit and the will piss in your cheerios. They see ass wipes all day long, that is what they do for a living. Would you put up with some young guy who you just caught at twice the normal speed gives you shit? Give them some respect, and you will generally get it back.

They aren't out to get you. But it does make a nice excuse.

i argued because i thought getting out of my car for SPEEDING was pretty damn stupid. if i was driving so reckless it wouldnt have taken them 2 hours to decide what to do. i had no chance to give this rookie cop any respect. im no asshole and im always nice to people until someone fucks with me. cop or no cop this guy sux. i just hope the same never happens to you guys.

If the cop asks you to get out of your car, you say "yes sir". If he asks you to spin around 3 times and sing "Louie, Louie" you do that too because it costs you NOTHING to make him/her happy.

A little "sir" goes a long way and if you piss off the cop it could cost you a whole bunch. Lets see Mr. dbox, $713 plus 18 hours in jail - I think a couple of "yes sir, gee I'm really sorry sirs" would have served you well.

hmm... cops are little pindicked mofos... maybe I'm a cold hearted bastard when I say I don't give a flying f*** if I hear about a cop getting capped on the job... they've never done a damn thing for me except harassment... sorry to hear about you getting screwed on your ticket... however could have been worse... he'll get what's coming to him one of these days... try to dick over the wrong guy one of these days and that rookie will get a piece of hot metal between the eyes...

When I get a deal like that, First thing I would do is find a way to erase it all together by any means necasary. I got 5 tickets in 2 different cities and i still have a clean record, just find a few friends that are in the system and scratch a few backs, A lower insurance is better than pride any day of the week.

see the trick is to get in with the cops, if you see one at a store or somethin ask him a question about something, even if its stupid, get him talking for a while and then the next time you see him, he'll recognize you and cut you a break. trust me it works great, i got outta 2 tickets like that. but on the other hand there is that 1 cop in every precinct...that fuckin douchebag that you wanna kick in the head

Guess you'll be learning things the hard way. Somehow I have the feeling that you would rather pay up (suffer the consequences) rather than do anything the cops asks, not just kiss his ass. That's fine you can pay for me. $713 for me is a nice vacation to the mountains....

Nobody is asking you to kiss a cop's ass. That's where you don't understand. We're talking about not being belligerent or disrespectful or abusive. Can't you find a way to do that? Are you such a hater that you have to act up everytime you meet up with the law? Cause even the cops can smell when someone has a "problem" with them and guess what, it usually turns out that way and I personally don't know anyone who has "won" the roadside battle vs. the cops. You always end up the loser. ALWAYS.

yes yes i understand but you guys DO NOT. this guy was being an asshole from hell! i am no asshole but when pushed i could give a shit who you are if im not wrong i will not back down. i see all of your points but i guess you guys wont fully understand how it all happen because you were not there. im not trying to have a ''battle'' with a cop. when im wrong im wrong and i admit it but this shit was uncalled for. i dont even care about the 713.00 anymore. i have too much pride to kiss his ass , and yes thats what it would have been.

THE BITCh who gave me a ticket for 92MPH in a 70MPH zone was a fuking bitch on her pms.... fucking bitch lied about my speed...and was being a cold hearted no dick fucking pussy bitch to me too.... i hope she wont get some from her husband for 20 years.....
