should i fight this?

[NorthwoodDavid]

Dam, wasn't the turnout I was hoping for but 110 isn't that bad.

My brother did defensive driving couple months ago and said he didn't watch the vid just looked the questions up online lol

[Jester]

^for the record, I think it's a shitty ticket. I have wanted to fight a couple tickets myself but always run out of time by procrastinating haha

I know exactly how its gonna turn out cuz im gonna pay $110 and do the damned defensive driving video. Talked to my buddy that is a local detective and he filled me in on Galveston and told me to not even waste my time fighting it.......said that no way in hell the dickheads over there would dismiss it.

So once again, i will bendover and take it up the tailpipe.

So, you ask for help, Matt offers to help,and you are too lazy to scan a ticket.... Did you really get a ticket ?

He cant help shit, dick pickle. So no, im not going to dig my fucking scanner out, hook it up, and post that shit for him to say "nope cant help". Cuz he cant fuckin help.''''''he just wants to try and show others that he is one of the good cops.

i could, but that would require effort on my part, so no. But, it just has a slash under speed and radar

Curious to know how this turns out.

Maybe take a pic of the ticket with ur cell for ol' trublugt. Not as much effort, but still implies some lol...

[Jester]

Can you scan in this section of the ticket?

As said, he can simply tell the judge to his best discretion you were being a danger to yourself, passengers(?) and he felt it was necessary to stop you due to your unsavory shenanigans.

yep, his word against mine. still worth a try to fight it.

You won't win, unless you have him on video admitting to not clocking you. If you fight it he will simply lie in court saying he clocked you at (insert speed here), or say how reckless you were. Guaranteed he took note of you being a smartass and will gladly tell the judge you were being a belligerent asshole.

I guess public land=public road for the seat belt?

Sec. 545.413. Safety Belts; Offense.

1. the person:
A. is at least 15 years of age;
B. is riding in a passenger vehicle while the vehicle is being operated;

D. is not secured by a safety belt

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

The only reason most aren't is because 1) the expense tied with DOT testing and 2) release mechanism, with street belts you push the button and it releases no matter the tension on the belt, with a 5 point sometimes they can "hang up" but the way around that is to wiggle around a bit to release tension on the buckle. I have to do that with the belts in my race car to get them to release, but it doesn't take me long at all. Pull release, wiggle shoulders up and down and I'm out of them. Given the type of car I'm in my belts are always super tight so that may be a factor.
