I'm thinking about doing it. Let me know your stories so I know if I'll get crushed or not.

If it's a speeder and you didn't go 30+ over never, never, never pay the ticket. Go to court and see if you can get supervision rather than take the automatic conviction.

I humped the shit out of it.

I humped the shit out of it. Had no idea it was wrong.

I've never wished I were a median before today.

It's a rolling through a stop sign ticket to which she said I don't think we have tape and it was her opinion that I rolled after coming to a stop sort of but then rolled thru.

Believe it or not I'm a pretty safe driver. I don't want my kids to have bad driving habits so I try not to do them, they were not in the car today. I check my odometer to see it's at 0, look both ways, and go. I speed like crazy on highways and go 5 over on busy streets if I get caught so be it. I've gotten 4 in my life, 3 for speeding in my early 20s and 1 about 7 years ago for violating a median which I did not know at the time was illegal. Residential I'm really good, those are neighborhoods. So I guess I'm kinda pissed.

I felt a little bad for making them explain everything to me for so long. It was cold today, I think they ended up being sorry they pulled me over. Nobody checked my tires with a penny.

BTW, if your odometer reads zero more than once something isn't right.

What does a clean driving record net you? Not being confrontational; I literally have no idea ... and mine is clean, btw.

STEVE - GO FUCK YOURSELF WITH THAT STUPID SH----

Wait. Sorry. Instincts kicked in.

Sounds like someone needs to be educated on handling bad feelings.

Actually, thats one violation you might very well be able to beat. Most officers aren't even aware of the exact wording of the violation. A driver is required to come to a complete stop AT THE STOP LINE. Most officers who write these violation focus on the stop sign. Often the line is not even with the stop line. If they are not even, take pictures. When you go to court, you are allowed to question the officer. Ask her in what manner you violated the statute. If she says that you failed to stop fully at the stop sign, you have it made. You ask what that has to do with the statute? When she fucks up the statute, you point out that it states that the law requires that you stop at the stop LINE, which you did, but you then proceeded slightly forward slowly, because you are a cautious driver and were making sure nobody was failing to yield the right of way, before proceeding fully. Look up the statute under the Illinois Motor Vehicle Codes, which are available online. Print it out and read it after the officer gets it wrong. You can then request that the ticket be dismissed based upon the fact that the testimony given by the officer, clearly shows that officer has written a citation for a motor vehicle violation that she herself lacks a clear understanding of. Photographs taken at the right angle can make it appear as if the sign and Stop Line are different enough to make your claim plausible too. But if the officer fucks up when describing the definition of the statute, the photos will not even be important.
