should i fight this?

Could have been alot worse though......my buddy apparently decided that at 4am he would take his toy up and over the tallest sand dune. The cop politely informed him that it was a felony and he could confiscate his shit and he would have a $5000 fine. He got lucky and ended up with a $650 fine.

Unsafe speed tickets are bullshit and are all up to the officers discretion on interpreting if you were driving "too fast" for the conditions.

yeah, so much for "innocent until proven guilty". It should be, "innocent until a federal employee says otherwise."

I got one in my Cobra years back since "it sounded like it was going fast" according to the cop.

It blows my mind that more cops arent just shot in the back of the head while sitting in their cars eating a snack.

Dude...

[stevo]

Fight it.

Dude...

Dont twist this into "i want to kill all cops." What it meant was that with alot of cops being dicks to countless people on a daily basis all over the country, I am truly surpirsed that they arent getting popped left and right in alarming numbers. It really does surprise me.

I knew exactly what you meant. Not twisting anything. It's a fucked up way to think, though. They don't get popped for being assholes, because the bulk of the population doesn't even think to murder cops just because they may ruin your day.

yes they do, they just dont act on it.

ruining your day is one thing......ruining your life is different. Example: a man and woman are arguing at their home and she halls off and knocks the shit out of the man....he restrains her long enough to get the fuck out of the house. she calls the cops.....he goes to jail and spends a shitload of money trying to prove his innocence. This tends to build a foundation on which this fine gent starts to look at the local authorities in a different light.

No, I assure you they don't. Most people don't even consider that kind of thing. It's unhealthy if you think that's a normal thought process.

[Binky]

Like Dee said, the "too fast for conditions" is extremely subjective. You could be going 5 miles an hour in a 30 mph zone, but if the cop thinks you are driving at an unsafe speed then they are going to pop you. Same thing for people driving 10mph under the limit. A Speed Limit is just a place for them to start the observation process, not a legal protection.

Some lawyers use that to get their clients out of speeding on public roads by saying that 15 over on a bright sunny low traffic day is not an unsafe/unreasonable speed - and some are successful with it.

You assure me? Your doctorate in psychology tells you this? It is unhealthy to think that there are alot of people out there that want cops dead and to ponder on why more loons arent out there popping them when they arent looking?

well, guess they made a mistake discharging me from the old cuckoos nest cause I constantly hear a whole lot of fuck the police whenever the discussion is brought up...

You have a SHITLOAD of corrupt cops out there everyday that constantly violate people's rights.......and you dont think these victims wish death on the cops?

[Big A]

No, I assure you they don't. Most people don't even consider that kind of thing. It's unhealthy if you think that's a normal thought process.

This.

What I don't get, is that if this is all about revenue generation, why didn't he pop you for the seatbelt as well? Two tickets are better than one.

In general, no. I have yet to come across a situation that would make me genuinely think to kill a person, cop or not.

Most don't think it, but some do, and some of those will end up snapping at some point.
