I never said that the ticket was not deserved. EVER. I said that a warning could have accomplished the same thing. I didn't want anyone to agree with me, I just wanted a referral to a lawyer.

I like how he asked the cops to leave. They like that you know.

I don't disagree. And all I really had to go on was the context of the posts I read. I almost posted another one about how the world will shit on you without regard, but I figured at that point you were just venting about it. It just depends on the cop's mood for the day and it sucks he had bad luck. You can get it fixed though. It'll just cost a few bucks which is the part that sucks the most.

Yes there was a sign, and my dumbass kid should have seen it, and slowed down. I do not dispute that in the least.

I think it was just a revenue grab, and not actual policing to make anything safer.

I asked them to take the person who broke into my house outside. I did not ask the police to leave.

So if there was a sign and the dumbass kid should have slowed down wouldn't the proper response to teach your son be "Gee, officer, I am wrong. I did it and will take responsibility for it"? Not EVERY ****ING COP IN BLUE SPRINGS IS A JERK and getting an attorney. Your disdain for the police has me thinking there is more to this story

Is your son less likely to speed in a school zone now?

He's more likely to call every police officer in Ble Springs, "including the female ones", "Dicks" as his father does and consult an attorney if he gets caught. For Dad to call every cop in the town he grew up in a "Dick" tells me he has quite a past with them.

He was never likely to speed in a school zone. But he will pay more attention now. But he would have paid more attention with a warning.

I wouldn't use that argument in court. I'm pretty sure the judge will stop you at "Yes he was speeding in a school zone, but..."

Taking it to court implies he doesn't deserve it, or else what's the point? A warning could have accomplished the same thing, but that's a favor and shouldn't ever be expected, because you still broke the law. It's not on the cop to determine when he wants to give you a warning, because he never has to... and it was a school zone, maybe the cop thought he had no choice or maybe they never give warnings in school or construction zones. Sounds pretty logical why they wouldn't....

I'd say that's not true considering he just go pulled over for speeding in a school zone.
So you're saying that because he got a ticket instead of a warning, he'll pay less attention to school zones?

Yeah, like being pulled out of my truck when I was 17 and having a gun pointed at my head, when I reached for my insurance card, like the police officer asked me for my insurance card.

Or being pulled over for going 26 in a 25 because i had a black person in the car with me and they wanted to see his ID. That is why he said he pulled me over, for going 26 in a 25.

Like I said, I grew up here, and I will say that 90% of all the people I know who live here agree with me.

You arrogant son of a bitch. It's real easy to step up on your soapbox and preach the law. How many times have you sped through a school zone and not gotten a ticket? How many times has it been because of your affiliation with the police? As if you or anyone in your family has never committed a similar infraction.

You don't have to bitch about it though since you guys are so well known for looking out for your own. I'd love to see national statistics on the amount of speeding tickets written to police officers that are off duty. I'm CONFIDENT it's the lowest ratio of any profession on the face of the Earth.

It's real easy to walk around pointing your finger when you play by a different set of rules. And don't think for one ****ing second that I didn't understand the underlying, threatening tone when you told him you were forwarding the contents of this thread to the BSPD. If they even remotely **** with him, I'll assume this is the reason and personally fly out to testify on his behalf when he sues their ****ing asses yellow.

You're not better than him. Congratulations on not knowing how to handle the power you're given. You're the worst kind of cop there is. Youtube videos are posted everyday of guys with your same mentality.

I don't want to take it to court. I just want it reduced so it will not appear as a speeding ticket on his record.

If anyone thinks that I want to fight it, that is not the case. He did it. He is guilty.

Ok now, this is good! The real story. This isn't about your son. As I suspected its about you. And, man, I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. I'd probably feel the same way if I had those experiences. But also try to seperate that out from this situation. Don't go all attorney for no reason and pass on your issues with the police to your kid when you can use this as a teaching lesson for your son. Deal with your stuff seperately.
