Your best bet has already been mentioned...Call em and ask to pay the fine but keep it off your record. It has worked for me on several occasions. Whatever you do, don't let your mouth and emotions override your better senses. You will lose. Period. FinFeatherFur is an officer and so is my brother. They'd both agree about someone getting smart with them, on the street or, in court. That DA will stand by his men/women. |

I really don't understand the law with transporting pistols. With me being a just 18 and the law being unclear, I don't really want to get fined or taken away. From my research and what I have heard, I may need a ccw permit, but I'm not 21. But I also heard that if it is not in reach and in the back, it is alright!

I'm not 100% positive but I'm fairly certain that your vehicle is an extention of your home and you can carry your weapon with you anywheres in the state. 2 rules when approached by a LEO act civil and say little. |

Officers don't just search vehicles. Usually we have tell tale signs that point us that way. Just relax, be cordial and answer the officers questions. As far as the video thing you stated the lack of it because he was on a motorcycle - most wear body cameras now. FYI- "MOTORS" refers to motorcylce officers and most cities that have them work a specific division, which is "traffic". They do not respond to run of the mill calls such as a disturbance or shoplifiting. They are out there to enforce "traffic" laws, thus he is paid to enforce what he sees. How many times has he been to court in front of Judge ABC where someone said "I wasn't speeding"? - Hundreds of times! - Were you speeding? - Don't know, I wasn't there. Will you win in court? - "NO". |

One time I was driving back from Lake Arthur to Lake Charles... I had a class a McNeese about 2 hours from the time I left and I was living in Sulphur at the time so I decided to take the scenic route on Hwy 14. I was just driving along in my truck with the cruise set at about 50 and I got pulled over by a State Trooper.
He only asked for my license, registration, and insurance card... I asked what he pulled me over for and he said I was doing 69mph in a 55mph zone. The only thing I asked him if he was sure it was my truck? He was very short with me and just wrote me a ticket. I dont know what he was smoking that day but I know he didnt clock me going that fast. I didnt argue with him and just took the ticket and got it fixed. Moral of the story... Sometimes cops get it wrong... do what you can to get it fixed or pay the fine if you feel you were guilty... follow the advice of some of the guys on here about keeping it off your record... thats the real expense. |

FYI, if you refuse to sign the ticket, that is a 100% guarantee to get arrested....Sure fire way...You cannot refuse to sign the ticket...Not an admission of guilt, only a promise to appear in court and face your charges...If you wait until the trial date and talk to the DA prior to your trial, you can ask him to work with you and have it reduced to non-moving violation to keep off your record. You certainly don't have to discuss anything with the officer regarding your violation and you can do so nicely...nothing wrong with that, but I definately wouldn't get testy with him, you will never win that one...This is how it plays out! Sir, why are you so irrate over a moving violation. Your irrational behavior leads me to believe that you have committed or about to commit a serious crime and are a danger to yourself or others at this time. Please place your hands on the car and spread your legs and do so now...Even if you are perfectly legal and nothing to worry about....It lengthens your time on the scene and on the back of the summons he will write how you acted or place a reference number on the back to see supplemental report filed which details what a ******wood you were and the DA will definately not accept pre trial motions....Or you could just pay the fine....either way....It's like all things in life...choose wise or "show everyone" and pay the consequences....Most times, your facial expressions and demeanor in the first 20 seconds of the encounter, determine if you getting paper or not....azzez get tickets...sometimes nice people get tickets....just depends...just increase your chances of getting out of it unscathed....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it never works to be an azz....just my .02

Well it's gonna take a week until I find out how the ticket is, probably over $400. I just don't want my insurance to go up, hopefully I can get it to a non moving violation, as some users suggested.

I've gotten them for 80+ in a 55 and it was $300 something. I did have to appear in court though. Got it reduced to a non moving violation. I had one and a month later for the same speed. But I acted the *** on the side of the road, also told him i didn't have anything else on my record. I was hoping the 1st one wasn't going to show up but it sure did. I drive the speed limit now, I am way to pretty to go to jail.

I got one in Alexandra recently for 75 in a 60. Figured I would just pay it, but received a letter from the DA, paid $150 by money order and don't get another ticket in one years time and nothing goes on your record.

I have been stopped by 6 State Troopers in the last two years for seat belt and not one ticket
4 of them tried that stupid I saw you put it on, to try and get me to bite ! Lmao I said sure you did 7 cars behind me once I passed you Seat Belt tickets are easy to get out of if you don't admit guilt There 1st tactic is you know why I stopped you ? Then say seat belt and try to convince you they know They do not know !!!!they will not waist a day I'm court to fight a he said she said seat belt ticket 100% flawless
