What is local police SOP?

[Pro88LX]

What if you break that law in order to enforce it? Is this like the cat on toast gif?

Exactly like that gif.

I see a driving record as a form of credit. Perfect driving record = more roadside leniency from officers and a lot of field service gigs require a clean record.

Oh indeed. I had a spotless record for 10 years here. Was stopped at least twice a year and was let go every time. Had a streak of bad luck and now have two tickets on my record and VA only allows defensive driving once every two years. They laugh at any differed adjudication reference. Last ticket I had was in Fairfax County. The cop wasn't even fucking there and they went on with proceedings anyway. Doesn't matter. From my understanding the DA can act on behalf of the cop. Cock suckers.

You gotta talk to the judge. The clerks can't/won't make a decision outside of their rules. I did 40 over once and spoke with the judge over the phone, citing my clean record, rare event, yada yada yada. He agree to deferred, got "his" money and all was good.

roger that

[GhostTX]

depends on the municipality... down here, they won't let you do deferred for 27 over. some municipalities don't even offer deferred

but I've got a lawyer here local to me that charges $500 flat fee. if there are fines/fees/etc. they come out of that. I've never had one that he couldn't get dismissed. But he guarantees it won't be on your record. Every citation I've taken to him he got dismissed.

lawyer = legal "bribe broker"

I'm thinking he just calls the judge and get deferred adjudication...IF he can keep the speed limit for 90 days.

yeah, TX isn't a Commiewealth

you can usually keep something off your record for $100-150+ fines/fees

Does DFW still have the $30something lawyers that will go to court for you or has that changed? Here in VA if you even want to state a case you have to pay around $800 to be represented.

Exactly. I could park my squad car sideways on I20 and it would be perfectly legal.

[Shaggin Wagon]

yup i always just slow down to 70 when passing through the colony/lewisville on that section of 121.

I watched LWPD high speed down that ramp this morning busting a Ram pick up. I knew he was gonna get it too before we even got to the curve. I have to admit, lol'd a bit.

[ThreeFingerPete]

It's even a law!

No shit! Its perfectly acceptable to break the law in order to enforce it

It's even a law!

[Pro88LX]

of course, its okay for a cop to weave in and out of traffic at 128mph in a 4100lb boat to catch a guy going 101mph in a 3200lb corvette , because they did a 2 day high speed driving course, and there is a holiday inn express right near there!!!

I'm betting Lewisville just as its curves in between Lewisville and The Colony

I am going to pay the ticket and not complain because I was in the wrong and was speeding.

fuck that!!! get a lawyer and keep that shit off your record!
