damn that really sucks man.

hope things work out for u man

gooooooood luck

 

yea tell me about it man. my plates and smoked tail lights are correctable. my exhaust isnt...so gay. this was in encino, CA. wat a great way to kill my sunday huh.

 

yea i know, the expired licence was me being stupid. i cant argue that one.

 

i guess they could have, but they were such a**holes about it. i heard the guy saying, "make sure u get his exhaust and tail lights".

 

yea i really did get burned. this was in encino. and yea im gettin it out today after i get my licence renewed. i already got my insurance card.

 

thanks everyone for wishing me luck. we will see wat happened when i go to court. im getting my car out today, also my licence renewed and already have my insurance card. but man it sucked when i saw my car go on the tow truck. its 200 to get it out. the fix-its are gonna be 10 bucks. my friends sister is a lawyer and said i can argue the expired licence, but depends on how the judge is. the only issue will be the infraction of the "unsafe right turn" which is bs cuz i was in the right lane the entire time. ill keep u posted. im just glad to get my car back today

 

they are just doing there job...

 

C'mon- it sucks, but expired license and no proof (it's not the cops job to verify it either) of insurance that pretty much gives Johnny Law provocation to throw every ticket he can at the dum dum. You cant blame the cops cause you broke the law.
And isn't the state of Ca pretty much bankrupt, they are gonna wright up every chicken s@!t ticket they can to generate revenue for the state.

 

yikes....sucks to hear that.....

well....usually they dont really impound your car unless there's something really bad going on....

good luck and let us know the outcome.....

 

wow looks like he was making a short list in his head when he pulled you over....all it takes is one pull over to kill all your mods with fix it tickets...as LittleE mention...I am careful with cops because of the risk I took on my front window tints as well...I would hate to scrape them off because of a ticket...hope you can get some removed with a leaniant judge..good luck

 

Look at the bright side, at least you didn't get in an accident with expired DL and no insurance card. I agree he could have gone easier on you, but it's not like he lied...every ticket is legitimate, right?

 

i least u didnt get locked up.. DONT get pulled over in TAFT, CA.. i got pulled over a few years back on the 5 coming back from LA to SF.. got pulled over in my friends car...

Driving on a suspended
Speeding over 100

which was actually really nice of the cop...

he could have gotten me for DUI and possession of illegal explosives also...

anyways.. long story short... i was getting locked up for a 2 year state sentence the next day.. went down to LA to party for the weekend.. went drinking and somehow ended up with 2 M1000 firecrackers in my pocket.. he let me and my friend go since my friend told the cop he had class in the morning.. so they called off the tow truck..

so 2 years later.. after filing paperwork to have all my traffic tickets dismissed while i was incarcerated.. i get a rolling stop sign and found out i had a $16,000 warrant for my arrest for a ticket in Taft, CA.

i show up for court.. the judge slapped on a failure to appear on top of the driving on a suspended and speeding... gave me a $4000 something fine AND 10 day county sentence.. haha..

moral of the story.. dont get pulled over in taft, ca... and dont be the only asian in a white hick town...

 

^^ ahhhh good times...

 

I guess I'm never crusing around Encino. It seems the officer bent over backwards to be a jerk and give you every ticket he could think of. What bad luck to forget your insurance card and have all these issues compound on you all at once. Good luck on resolving these issues. Keep us posted.

 

so i got my car back today. took me 5 hours to drive around and wait to get it all done. but man am i glad to see my car again. the funny part is that i was driving with my friend and i saw the same cops who pulled me over. they were staring at me, and looked as if they were in shock that i got my car back to quickly. anyways, gotta schedul my court date before dec. 24., so ill let u know how everything went. my friend said somewhere around 1,000 in fines but we will see. it sucks cuz i was saving up to get my work vs-xx. so wack!!!!
