should i fight this?

[Machx2]

Take it to court

[Jester]

What year Jeep of that is it? Does it have a lift?

08.....it has basically stock height right now give or take an inch. it has zone shocks and a skyjacker stabilizer. the springs are stock JKU which gives it an inch.

when i can afford it, it will get a 3" old man emu with 35" tires.............probably gonna get the mickey thompson baja rims with the fake beadlocks in aluminum..........that way if i want them black i can shoot them with plastidip and then be able to peel it off if i get tired of the black.

lmao! cited for a 5 point harness because it wasnt DOT approved. Id lay odds that a 5pt harness is well above and beyond the safety regulations for passenger restraints

was at Crystal Beach in Galveston County for Jeep Go Topless weekend. There were a little over 400 jeeps out there. we would drive up and down the beach or park and play. Me and a few others went and played in the little washout. The washout was deep in a few spots so we would zig zag back and forth in it splashing around. anyway, long story short, i play for about 2 minutes and turn around to go park. by the time i am parking a galveston cop lights me up. he doesnt do the normal "do you know why i stopped you" routine. This little fella is a hispanic gent that is maybe 25 and very wet behind the ears He just walks up and gets my insurance and liscense.......here is how our interaction went after waiting about 10 minutes:

Cop: sign here this is not an admissions of guilt.....blah blah blah

Me: You are seriously giving me a ticket?

Cop: This is public land and the speed limit is 15 mph

Me: Oh, so you had a radar and clocked me going over 15?

Cop: no

Me: so we are just going off of your wild ass guess on my speed? we were playing in the washout and there is no way i got over 10!

Cop: Well i could go ahead and write you a ticket for no seatbelt (this i was guilty of......in and out of the jeep all day with no doors on the jeep.....didnt wear a belt}

me: no dude, i know how this works and i cant win so just give me the ticket

Cop: do you have any more questions

Me: Not at all Mr Crime Fighter! Keep fighting these awful crimes you are doing an excellent job!

Thus endeth the exchange

So....I got excessive speed in the washout.

I have zero problems handling any and all tickets i have ever received in the past, but this is plain old horse shit.

hire a lawyer who does lots of tickets in that area. they can make it go away you will likely pay a fine though

[Jester]

That's stupid.

agreed

[03trubluGT]

my prediction is that it will be a $110 fee and defensive driving.

That's stupid.

[Jester]

Let us know how it works out for ya. That ticket seems ridiculous.

try for deferred adjudication. you know how this works, quit fighting the system. just look at it like it was a fee to abuse the beach.

Not always true sometimes they don't see it, I was pulled over for no seatbelt but I had a 5 point on. Once he saw that I was let go. Just because they think the belt wasnt buckled, doesn't always make it true.

I think someone on here was still cited using a harness. For it not being DOT approved or something like that

[03trubluGT]

Everyone should use this as a reminder that it's the end of the month, and LE is out in full force racking up numbers for their "quotas that don't exist." I saw 16 officers writing tickets this morning, in the 13 mile drive to drop my daughter off.

16? Really??

Was it the seatbelt the car came with from the factory? Can you at least understand why he stopped you? (Because he couldn't see the factory shoulder strap)
