So do we stop every person that rolls through a stop sign. That is the same thing as running a stop sign. It doesn't matter what he was doing when he caused that accident, he is still at fault. He could have been texting, rolling a joint, changing clothes, or rocking his girlfriend behind the wheel. Still doesn't matter, he is at fault and a citation doesn't change things.

I suggest if you guys want to write citations yourself, carry your rear ends to the academy and get a badge. Until then, **** and use your brain! Salty, you can call the chief, the mayor, Gov Blanco, and Obama - we here this everyday! When we walk out their office, the guy still won't have a ticket!

Well, you're right only because the report has been filed in City Hall and my daughter already has a copy. Had I gotten there earlier this morning....I was assured that it would have been changed because "We don't want to hear it!!!!!!!". I can live with that.

That is why insurance is taken, And insurance is also so high

If someone would have been injured, or killed then would a ticket have been written?


This thread just proves that most cops are just like politicians. They take our money to do a job and then they dont do it and complain they need a raise.

If they are just like politicians, why would you call one if your wife or daughter was raped or your house was broken into?

call it what you want but i believe an officer of the law stated he does it and also refers to other coworkers having the same practice

Seems like a non issue to me, I don't see where the guy that hit your daughter isn't going to be punished enough. His insurance is going to go up, and his truck is banged up, probably had a pretty bad already. Extra $200 ticket isn't going to do anything, but make it a worse day.

Or should every 'signal' person that ever causes a wreck be shot on site?

Question

is being partially ethical the same as being fully ethical. or is being partially ethical considered being unethical

if you are using shot on site as a metaphor to being ticketed on site then yes!

I wish my daughter's new Murano had only depreciated $200.

As far as the insurance goes....he only had the legal limit liability on that piece of crap. I'm gonna let it go, but, I still don't agree.

Salty, I don't know you nor do I really want to know you after all this. But you sound like maybe a lil bit of Anger Management should be prescribed to you.
Not everybody can afford to own a new vehicle these days and maybe what he owns isn't a piece of crap to him and his family. He made a mistake that will cost him, probably more than he can afford and yet you want him to be issued a ticket, that will not put anything in your pocket.
Look in your past and tell us that you never ran a stop sign, never broke the speed limit law or never did anything that if caught you would of been ticketed for and then and only then will you become 'The Chosen One'

[Captain Mike P.]

If your were a "Nelson" Al Shapten and Jessie Jackson would be all over that officer.. LOL!! A ticket may not solve the problem, but the guy who ran the stop sign should be held accountable for all expenses. He should have to pay whatever his cheap insurance does not.

I've been called alot of things in my life, but, I'm pretty sure this is the first time that it's been suggested that I might be a candidate for "Anger Management". Dude, I've never even been in a fist fight.

What the hell has "more than he can afford" got to do with anything? As far as me callin' it a "piece of crap"....had you seen it you would have agreed. The officer told me the same thing. There had to be at least 50 dents in that truck....well, 51.

I can honestly tell you without any doubt that I have "never broke the speed limit law" or any other traffic law that resulted in a collision, or, as y'all like to say...."accident". If I had....I should have been cited without question!!

[Salty]

My wife just got off the phone with Nissan and the insurance people, etc. and found out that this vehicle is now valued at "approximately $3,000" less than it was 24 hours ago. So, yes, that "$200" traffic ticket would make my day!!!

[Finfeatherfur]

I still say the guy with the certification to write the accident report (and by the way, we still call them accident reports - not collision reports) gets to decide who gets a ticket and when. Not the Chief sitting in an office, not his secretary, and not the mayor, and not the po'ed dad of girl involved in a "collision". And, no - had you gotten there earlier in the day, a ticket still would not have been written - no matter what you were told. Sometimes it's just easier to tell someone what they want to hear and smile, but if you think they were going to call this guy in to come sign a ticket for that accident a day later........well, I have some property to sell.

By the way..................are you still smoking??? You know I love you you old fart! - Let me know if you need anything!

Was it totaled????????????? If not, what will it be worth once it is repaired and driven another 100k miles? Just saying, you can spin this however you want.

Bryan, I saw the report. It says, "Collision Report".

Things are probably done differently here in "Bugtussle" than where you're at. I got a ticket for improper changing of lanes a couple years back. I was on my way to Delacroix at 3:00 in the morning. I changed lanes without using a signal and an officer (one of the couple that I didn't know) pulled me over. I told him I was probably going faster than the 45 mph and, yet, you pull me over for changin' lanes when there is no other vehicle in sight? I asked a buddy on the force to see if he could get it dismissed. He said the officer said "no" because I was an "azzhole". I went to the chief. He called the officer in and he said, "No...because he was an azzhole". Well, sometime between that moment and the time I was supposed to pay the fine ($175)...any and all records of the ticket ever being issued were missing. As far as I know they might still be lookin' for it.

I'm saying that my wife was told that, because the vehicle had been in a "collision".....the value is now "approximately $3,000" less.
