man that reallysucks! my last 2 tickets... 1 coming out of town going down hill in the mtns, I speed up leaving the town limits and hit the hill, noticed I was at 65~68 in a 55 zone and started hitting the brakes. Just then a copper comes around the corner and radar's me. he even commented that he noticed I was on the brakes coming down the hill... I guess he had to meet a quota that day [&:]. the other one I deserved... hit a red light thru a left turn lane... crossed the line right when the light went red, copper was there watching for it.

No such thing as a quota - they can write as many tickets as they want, or don't want. Trust me, 95% of cops hate writing tickets, it's just part of the job. Also, remember, attitude is everything, and being polite goes a long way.

ORIGINAL: dillonjm

Make sure you take care of all including the insurance one. Depending on where you are, even fix it tickets like that can turn into arrest warrants and a trip to jail.

Due to a mistake in the warrant issuer's typing (they mistyped my liscense # in the warrant by one digit) I went 4 years without knowing I had a warrant on me. I've renewed my liscense 2x (once was getting my class A CDL) with no problems. However, while trying to get onto the local air force base for a job the other day the warrant popped when they ran a background check and I got a nice ride in a cop car to the Omaha jail for a couple hour stay until I posted bond...

All over an expired insurance card fix it ticket. I **** you not.
Hey Dillon, just curious, did Sarpy or BPD pick you up? You mentioned the Omaha jail...normally you'd go to Sarpy County unless it was an OPD warrant. (I work for BPD).

I don't know about the state that you are from but, in Utah there is a quota. All of there raises and performance reviews are based on it.

thats prolly because if you pay if before your court date you dont need to go. but if you decide to fight it then your gonna need to show up. makes sense

i've had several in the first 5 years of driving, but nowhere near 5tickets in two days. the last one i received was just under 5 years ago for a seatbelt violation, and is the only one currently on my driving record.
