i got pulled over and got a ticket, on Beltway 8 west just North of the Westheimer toll plaza..Constable walks up to my door and looks at my seat belt, and says " i pulled you over for not having your seat belt on ( i had it running under my arm, instead of over my shoulder) so he gave me a ticket anyway. LAME
stupid revenue seeking agents for an otherwise corrupt government.. getting my windows tinted monday
 
welcome to houston...number one city in Texas for Speed Trapping

Even PDs here don't go into the ghetto and find criminals...they just like writing tickets...reason why these ghetto apartments around Houston is filled with dope heads and prositutes and there's no sign of a cop unless a 911 is called
 
it wasnt a speed trap, the moron drove up next to me and looked over, didnt see my belt because it was under my armpit and got back behind me and pulled me over, walks up to my door and says he pulled me over for not having a seatbelt on... as he is standing there LOOKING AT ME WEARING IT..and he STILL gave me a ticket even though i had it on WTF!!!!)...sooo glad he didnt ask to check my trunk, because my back seat was out of the car..it wouldve been a lil more than a ticket if he had
 
I have a lot of respect for local Law enforcement officers, but it certainly does look like the local politicians are pressing them to increase revenues through ticketing right now.

I know, just making a statement about how ticketing people is like gold to them instead of lowering crime rate...

Cops aren't around to lower crime in most areas, they are there for responding to crime. Traffic units and traffic duty are entirely separate entities in most cases and a lot of criminals are caught by routine traffic stops.
With that being said, learn how to properly speed. I never need to be out in front of everyone else. I get behind someone who is going fast and let them have the lead. I've had at least half a dozen times that I remember where they got the ticket and I went on my merry way.

To the OP: Fight the ticket. My guess is that they are gong to say that you weren't wearing it properly and that is why you got the ticket, but it doesn't hurt to try.
 
I'm not impressed with the malum prohibitum attitude of today's law enforcement. Don't they have some real criminals to catch?
 
I got a ticket in Birmingham, AL. the other night when I was on my way back from my brothers wedding in Auburn. I'm on the freeway and this freeway is I-65 and the lowest speed limit that I have ever seen was 55 mph. Ok, I'm coming through the heart of Birmingham but still on the HWY and I'm in the middle lane of three lanes of traffic.

I see a cop car pulling out of some damn cave they were hiding in but I'm rolling with the rest of the 30 cars and then I see blue lights. The bitch gave me a ticket and told me the speed limit was 45 mph up on the freeway???? She did not have me on radar, she did not write down what the speed limit was or the speed I was doing. The ticket only says "Reasonable / Prudent"

WTF is that? I guess she thinks that because I don't live in that city that I won't be at court at 9 am next month but I will. This happened at 11:10 pm so that means that she's a 3rd shift cop. I hope she likes being in court 2 hours after her shift ends because if she's not in there, this bull:q:q:q:q ticket will be tossed and with only her observation of what she thought to be speeding at night time, along with all the other cars that were around me, I think I can get it thrown out anyway.

Oh yeah, when I left the gas station where I finally pulled over at, I shot up the ramp at 80 mph and the first sign I see is a 70 mph speed sign. She just got through telling me to keep it down because the speed limit up on the freeway was 45 mph. They must have an 1/8th of a mile stretch that's 45 because I have never had to go 45 mph anywhere on I-65. I hate :q:q:q:q:q:q:q cops.

Thats easy, improper usage and nonusage constitute the same penalty. Wanna know how I know? I got pulled over 9 times in 4 weeks for not wearing my seatbelt. (and I still don't) One time I had it under my arm cause I knew there was a cop ahead (iphone app trapster) He let me go, as did 7 others. But that one cockbag gave me a ticket and tried to beat me out of where I was coming from where I was going, and when I said it was none of his :q:q:q:qing business just give me the ticket, he did. Next stop, window tint, haven't been pulled over since.

Thats an easily beatable ticket. Some states have laws that work for the officers though (don't know about Bama) They have officers that are just for court, the one that gave you the ticket doesn't have to be there. Either way, I don't foree you loosing in court in less you have a bad bad history:cool:

Oh yea, and unless you're in a construction zone, the MINIMUM allowed speed on an interstate i've ever seen is 45, but I pulled this from Wiki"
Minimum design speed. Minimum design speed of 75 mph (121 km/h) in rural areas, with 65 mph (105 km/h) acceptable in rolling terrain, and as low as 55 mph (89 km/h) allowed in mountainous and urban areas. However, speed limits as low as 40 mph (64 km/h) are occasionally encountered, such as on I-59 through Laurel, Mississippi, Interstate 70 in Kansas in Downtown Topeka, Kansas, I-84 near Waterbury, Connecticut, Interstate 291 near Bloomfield, Connecticut nearing I-91, I-68 through Cumberland, Maryland, I-490 through downtown Rochester, New York and I-495 through New York City; and also on long bridges such as the Mackinac Bridge which carries the "Interstate 75" designation. Interstate 264 drops to 35 mph (56 km/h) in parts of Norfolk, Virginia, as does a brief segment of Interstate 93 in Lincoln and Franconia, New Hampshire.
 
I dont think I have anyone on my friends list here. :lol:

Well, I went to court for the ticket (an hour 1/2 away) and because she left the speed zone blank and the speed I was going blank, it was all dismissed. BTW, I found out over the phone that "reasonable / prudent" is just under reckless driving, which I wasn't doing. I just wasn't going 45 mph. I was doing around 60, along with the other 30 or so cars on a 3 lane HWY. Anyway, if she had clocked me and filled in the two lines of speed, my fine would have been just a little under $250.00 but the DA called the ticket a "technical difficulty" because she left the two lines blank. I was only out gas money and 3 hours of driving. Also, "Reasonable / Prudent" tickets can't be paid online or over the phone. You have to appear in court for them and the officer does not have to appear in court. So you were right about that. No officers were in court for any of the 100+ people in court that morning.

I left there with a clean driving record.
