The cop had a attitude through out, he puts the ticket on his hood, I go to sign, he says "stop!, I didn't tell you to approach" while he puts is hand on his holstered weapon.

It is effin' easy for you to just spout ijn black and white "just follow the law" but in the real world life is gray.............

Actually it you and your "Glock" that do the protecting. They just come in afterward and clean up the mess.

You cut the signal off before you turned, therefore you didn't signal properly. Ticket deserved.

Just because the cop was cautious doesn't mean he has an attitude.

If this statement is an indication of your general attitude about everything, I'd probably have an "attitude" with you to. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if you're only telling 50% of the true story.

Suck it up and treat it as a life lesson learned. Next time signal properly.

Seriously, this is a load of BS.

Many cars automatically turn off the signal when you turn the wheel. It happens and should not cause you to get a ticket.

Many cops have a bad case of attitude. It is know as the "little-Hitler" syndrome.

Given your "attitude", you sound like a cop or the spouse of one.

I have delt with and met other cops before who didn't have a attitude, he did. So stop making excuses for the cop. Setting the ticket clip board on his hood and looking at me with a notion for me to sign it then saying back off while putting his hand on his weapon is a sign of attitude.

And yes I am telling the story as happened.


Ticketing is a government racket, and the courts who make the fees are extortionists.........

Gotta love when other unions are said to be anti American and greedy yet when it comes to the judicial system and their unions they are hailed as heros when it comes down specially to shaking down tax payers for traffic infractions.

And it was physically impossible for you to put your blinker back on after it cut off? I've had this happen hundreds of times and never had an issue turning the signal back on.

You know what hooligan, I was turning to go into a shopping mall, and didn't realize my blinker had cut off because I was watching on coming traffic. Like I said if you want to get technical it was a traffic infraction, but all that for no blinker?

And going back to the OP's mention about the fees, I had just had my appendix taken out and was hit with all those bills, and then I get nailed for $160 for no turn signal? Then another $60 for online traffic school? There may be a reason why some people are pissed about the fees charged. He could have given a warning, he could have used his time and effort to police a more serious matter.
