just got a wreckless driving ticket 1/2 a block from my house for cutting too tight on a left turn. also he wrote me for going speed approx 20mph in a P.F./max 10mph. WTF! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: 20 in a 10?
Signal Hill cops suck @ss!

also, they put my court apearance on my birthday. Just as a little added bonus.

I'm definately going to fight this one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 2-1-06: I got a call from my lawyer today, he said that he got the wreckless driving charge reduced to unsafe lane change (whoo hoo!). For some reason one of the stipulations was that I can't go to traffic school on it. He also told me the cop was pissed about the charge being reduced. Ha ha. Though, now I have to worry about seeing that little bastard around Signal Hill.

No, I am getting a lawyer. The speed limit on the street is 25mph. in any case the ticket was for the turn. I was turning left on to my street(flying at 20mph), and I cut the corner too sharp. apparently that is very wreckless.

If you fight it and they harass you in the future, then you just a get a more expensive lawyer. He can sue the PD and you can move to a brand new house elsewhere.

probably more expensive than the ticket and the up in my insurance, but I can't let those 12 yr old cops get away with this.

take that mess all the way....the police force needs to learn that just cause you own a certain type of car (ricer) that doesnt mean you are breaking the law. They seem to think so. I dont hear too much of vettes getting pulled over. A fight back needs to start.


Every ticket you get you should go to court with it if you can. If everyone does it then theoretically the court system would get so clogged that they would ahve to dismiss all the cases due to right to speedy trial.

Danny, sorry to hear about the ticket. I'm not driving through signal hill anymore. Considering we both have silver Evo's with dark wheels i don't want to get mistaken for you. By the way... I was on 2nd street this morning getting my donuts. I was looking for you.

I might see you Tuesday.... Good luck.

Quick update. My lawyer went for my arrainment on the 20th. He pleaded not guilty (obviously). Found out that the police might have video, I told him this shouldn't matter :angel: being that I didn't really do anything that bad. Also, and this is the part that scares me, he said the prosecutor is seeking jail time. This is due to the fact that I have a prior wreckless back in 99. Though my lawyer couldn't say jail won't happen, he did tell me that he has yet to have one of his clients do jail time on a 2nd wreckless. I just hope I not the first.

no $1700 for a lawyer to keep me out of jail is a bust, but worth every penny.
yea, my car is becoming more and more stealth :angel:. I sold the other one a couple of weeks ago.

i would have said something along those lines as he was writing me up with your violation. Nothing more he could really do. I would have protested to the highest.

this is what you should do. he will most likley be cruising his beat around your area again. If you ever see him speed call the police department and complain that you saw him speeding without his lights on and you decided to follow him. he ended up not havin an emergency. This will cause an investigation on him and his superiors will look at him with a fine tooth comb and if he steps out of line at all with his tickets or anything he will be in deep shit. This was all told to me by a buddy of mine that was going though the police acadamy.

When do you go back to court? And if you don't mind me asking how much is it to retain a lawyer for things of this nature?


By the way if you would just go to SOW like I told you maybe it would tame your urge to drive your Evo in a "spirited" manner around the LBC and down near the docks!

If i were you dog i would fight the ticket trial by declaration. that way you don't have to go in front of a judge or see the cop. you will have to pay the bail but, you have a better chance of beating the ticket. O0

Thanks. The ticket was unjustified to begin with. the charge I ended up with is fair. To bad I had to spend $1700 for a lawyer, just to get what I deserved in the first place.
