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
