After reading this thread for days I have to say don't break the law and you won't get a ticket. People can't read signs, speed, expired registrations and so on. YOU broke the law so it's YOUR FAULT not the cops.

Good points JM!! i guess they are easier said than done. Everyone always looks to place blame somewhere besides their own shoulders.

I'm surprised no one started blaming it on the Democrats or Republicans, or the Teacher's union.

we got it here too. its a revenue resource. breaking the law is not good. but zealous behavior as to ticket writing is definitely noted.

Here's some helpful hints:

Subject: WHAT NOT TO SAY TO A POLICE OFFICER!
1. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer. (OK in Texas)
2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
3.Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!
5. Are You Andy or Barney?
6. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.
7. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
8. I pay your salary!
9. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning,
10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay,just so one of us does.
11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around. That's how far ahead of me they are.
12. When the Officer says "Gee Son....Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with," Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"

A great joke I heard the other day:

A new Mercedes owner was out on an interstate for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of his hair and he decided to open her up.
As the needle jumped up to 80mph he suddenly saw a flashing red and blue light behind him. "There ain't no way they can catch a Mercedes," he thought to himself and opened her up further. The needle hit 90, 100 110 and finally 120 with the lights still behind him.
"What in the world am I doing?" he thought and pulled over. The cop came up to him, took his license without a word, and examined it and the car.
"I've had a tough shift and this is my last pull-over. I don't feel like more paperwork so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before, you can go!"
"Last week my wife ran off with a cop," the man said, "and I was afraid you were trying to give her back!"
"On your way," he said.

the same peeps who complain about tickets are probably the same ones who blame welfare queens, cops, teachers, politicians, minorities and the poor for all the ills in this state, yet refuse to take blame for their actions. "it's everyone's fault by mine".....hilarious.
