Check out this Dumb ticket I just got

Remove this ad
Headed to work after leaving blockbuster, I notice one massive speed trap.
3 motorcycles, 2 Squad cars, etc.
Being the good citizen that I'm am, I used the "Flash-to-pass" feature of my vehicle. It so happens this feature also alerts on-coming traffic that there is a speed trap ahead.

Anyways another bastard cop was at the distance and seen the "Flash to pass". He turned around and put his lights on. I just knew he wasn't stopping me.

He did, and when he walked to the car, I immediately stated, "What did you stop me for?"
He explains that it is illegal to flash my headlights to warn people of law enforcement and asked for my license and registration. He then returned to the squad car to right my $65 ticket.
When he came back, being the ******* that he is, he looked at my side rear window (the front two were down). He handed me my License and insurance, then he went back to the car to get the tint tester.. Asked me to roll up my front window, it came up 2%. His machine is wrong cause I got 5% on the sides you bastard!

Anyways cause the $65 fine for the flash to pass wasn't enough he added $75 for the tint.
Which IMO isn't bad, considering I've heard of bastard like hime taking a razor blade to dark tint.

He started to look for more crap then I told him, "You're wasting my time, I gotta get to work for 4:30pm." He asked Where do you work? I told him, Then he asked for my work #. I'm waiting for his call.
Then he was like let me see your insurance card..
I told him, you just had it, and then you just gave it back with my License. He was all jacked up, He said are you sure???

After I signed the ticket and told him I'll see him in court, I showed him exactly what the V could do... All the way up to 70mph. Watching him run to his squad car to follow me was worth every minute of it. He followed me from a distance till I got out of the city limits.

My cousin told me when I was a lil tike that, if you're going to get in trouble, might as well have fun doing it.

So since I already had a ticket, I pulled onside of a 350Z. Waited, drop in third and crossed right in front of him... Yes he followed and we had a great time!
While doing our lane tango, yes he was behind me, I came behind a modded GTO. I then used my "Flash To Pass" to tell him to either move out the way or join the fun. He did but only after the 350Z exited the freeway from sucking in too much exhaust from the B&B.
This guy works here too. We had a little conversation at the light
He was like you two were moving. I was like yeah I flash my lights so you could put it in gear. He claims he didn't see it. How da hell did he not see it but the cop did? I think I'll use that in court

Anyways I looked up and notice that the light was green and told him, "Time to go!"

We both floored it, only I was quickly reminded of an problem I had but he didn't (WHEEL HOP). Even though he didn't get ahead of me that much while I was bouncing down the street. Which leads me to believe, if I had started correctly, I would've left him.

I'll leave it at that. Just wanted to warn you not to use the "flash to pass" feature of your vehicle unless you want a ticket.

Laws vary by state, but I know here in Tx it is illegal to flash your lights to warn of a speed trap.

That is true. Nothing is illegal in Indiana except for selling cars and buying booze on Sunday!

Re: Check out this Dumb A$$ ticket I just got

You can get out of it.. Just tell them the same thing you just told us. If that was truly your intent.. then you should have no problem. On the brighter note. I really dont know about KS tint law but at least you did not get a repair order, those have no fines and if it's not fixed your tags will get suspended. Question... Did you try to explain to the officer why you flashed or he just did not care?

He didn't care at all.
I just knew he wasn't going to pull me over, (cause for once I was doing the speed limit) then when he did. I quickly asked why, instead of waiting for the usual dumb question, "Do you know why I stopped you today?"
He said his piece, I looked in amazement, or as Bush would say "Shock & Awe," then he asked for my license and insurance.

It's pretty obvious from the Speed Trap, that they really didn't give a damn about any explanations, they were preying on the citizens of Olathe, KS.
He was trying to find all he could to tack on additional fines.

Re: Check out this Dumb ticket I just got

Just make sure you "Flash to Pass" when you come behind me, I'll just move over. I won't think you're trying warn me of Law Enforcement

I just called my wife to let her know, before she gets on the road, that there's a speed trap on K-7. Is that illegal too?

Yep, got a free pass last time I was stopped, and there was no good way to argue my illegal turn.

GMB, be sure to fight it, or look into attending driving school, good luck.
