How to fight a Stop Sign violation

... or not to :)

Few months ago i ran a stop sign. Although, I feel totally guilty for that, I did not want to go defensive school. Even if I paid the fine, they would send me to the school because I got way too many points on my license, so I came up with idea to obstruct the sign visibility (see the pics). Need to notice, cop was driving on the grandview and i was on 25th, so he saw the sign from the back side only. I got ticket dismissed, but the look the cop gave me after judge said her verdict did not mean anything good for me :) if he'll pull me over once again it might be an ***-whooping :)

There are many members of the law enforcement community that are also VXinfo members, including the Boss Man.

It'd be funny az hell, if one of them forwarded this post to the Phoenix PD...:laughing:

Hmmm, looks like very fishy evidence to me. The two(2) pictures were taken only three(3) minutes apart (in the wee hours of the morning, too) and shows the obstructing placcard in different positions. The 12:19 picture has the placcard cock-eyed crooked, while the 12:22 picture has it re-positioned in a more level and straighter depiction.

If I was the Judge, I'd be asking why were the pictures taken in the wee hours of the morning??? To hide from possible witnesses??? Why is the obstructing placcard in a different position when the snapshots were taken only three(3) minutes apart??? Was it because the first initial picture didn't cover all of the STOP letters, and was re-positioned for the second picture??? If the placcard is "dusted for fingerprints", would we find a positive I.D. match to someone here in this courtroom (perhaps the accused defendant)??? If so; then can we add the additional charges of "Obstruction of Justice with intent to defraud a law enforcement investigation", and of course "Pergury"??? Afterwhich, I would have just one last question: Would the Defendant please rise???:freek:

You don't have to be stupid, but it helps.

This is how people get caught when they do stupid things. They go and post it on the internet. Would it be jail time for lying to the judge? shawn

Abolutely right larry :yesy:

He was also lucky another cop didn't saw him

Not every cop gives an *** woopin. But for this you would kinda deserve it ;)

Before this does get any farther, would you like me to delete it?

I'll hold my opinion for sake of family peace but, they will be sure to give you a good chastising.

I vote you delete it ASAP. I further vote we all do a "dub" and forget we ever saw it lol.
Also ZubrAZ, "you're grounded" !

Delete

Report to Pheonix

Huh...Wha...:_thinking...:_confused...:snooz:

Sooooo, do something stupid like that to save yourself, at the risk of causing the next cars to come through there having an accident?

I'm not sure how to react. Would you like to be commended because you lied? I don't have a lot of respect for people who do things wrong and lie about them to get out of something.

I really hope you are not a parent because your kids will surely be lacking in character/moral department. I suppose you are just following the cycle because your parents did a crappy job with you.

It may be time to break the cycle.

Peace.

My Space...Facebook...ect
These days everybody wants their 15 minutes and the media encourages it.
Every channel has somekind of "I report" where people send in crap from their phones. Even incriminating themselves:slap::_shrug:

Wow! :)

With all my respect to numerous cops I have met in my life, I did not try to cheat on that particular officer, but on the whole system. I have an extensive driving history with numerous violations that I would refer to the "young, dumb, full of cum" age (or something like that, pardon my english). Few of the tickets on my records, are totally unfair. The reason why they were not fought and dissmissed: at that time I knew very little about the country and the law and I didnt know how to defend myself. I spent some money on those tickets and waisted many hours on those unneeded classes the pure sense of which is to collect the money. And I did not want to do that again. At the same time, I did not have any ticket for longer than two years, and this incident occured almost at midnight, in a neighborhood, and yes, i didnt stop, but I passed the intersection safely with <5mph speed. The cop could be more loyal in my opinion. But insted, he ran to me with questions: have you been drinking? I can smell alcohol! no sir, I was not! Ok, have you been smoking? Your eyes are bloodshot! No sir, I have not. Ok, then you ran the stop sign. Isnt the purpose of the traffic control is to pursue the safety of driving, but not collecting the money for the violations that dont put anybody at risk?


The adverisement was immediately removed from the sign after picturing, so I did not put anybody in danger with regards to that.

Again, I do understand that I violated that stop sign, and i do understand that I had to accept the consequenses of the violation, even if they dont make too much sense to me, but being unfairly screwed by the cops/judges' decisions few times, I think I have scored few points for myself.


p.s. I still love you all :)

Uh-oh... here we go...
