I am a British tourist who got a ticket for speeding. I was doing 97 in a 75 but luckily the officer only hit me with doing 85. What are the implications if i dont pay the fine as im returning home tommorow. will i get arrested or fined double when i return to the states in Feb 08. He has my driver number and address but no passport number. do customs have the record on the computor when i enter next time. cheers
I think most people would agree that traffic laws should be enforced only for legitimate safety reasons, not revenue enhancement.
We have problems with Politicians because we are failing in our duty to control them.
BS so called traffic safety laws are a result of our failure to control out of control government growth.
We need to get the government out of our personal lives on everything and then reduce its size accordingly.
Reduced government size will result in less need to use the traffic system as a back door tax system, or what it really is.
Legalized Highway Robbery.

I was with a friend who recieved a reckless
driving ticket for spinning his tires for
aprox 10 feet while taking off from a stop sign. He did not exceed the speed limit.
In some states he would have been ticketed
for “exibition of speed”. I always thought
that ticket was unfair especially because it stayed with him for 7 yrs and followed him
when he moved to another state.
He broke the law but I will never believe it was reckless driving.
Hi,
my friend got a ticket for speeding because of a medical reason of his girlfriend, and he already contested about it, so that the fine is already reduced. However, when he asked to pay it by working on community service, the judge directly refused his request without saying any reason. What does he have to do now, knowing that the his financial condition is not that good? Is there any way to re-contest? Thank you
still not a peep from our commentators in blue defending “professional courtesy” given to other officers, as well as friends, family, girlfriends, etc., while the rest of us pay sums shylocks would be proud of

Your comments are appreciated and understood, however most ticket revenue is generated by targeting people who don’t vote for the politicians in the geography they are caught in. You know, THEM… So in Canada, I get a ticket yet have no vote. What I CAN do, is vote with my feet. Ontario is now off my list for vacation and hockey tournament. That will cost them thousands in tax revenue over time. I also will not, of course, PAY the fine in question.
I get pulled over locally once every 7 or 8 years and have ALWAYS been let go. They aren’t interested in pissing off people who vote.
So yeah, when you get a local issue, like photo tickets, fight it hard, but we have no power over the pols from other countries, states, counties and jerkwater cities and towns, probably 20% of jurisdictions that write 90% of the tickets.
Well walkerny you would be more effective in the long run to take that aggression and form a coalition to take your fight to the politicians. They bare the ultimate responsibility for allowing this to happen. Cops can’t enforce laws that aren’t there or legal. It just can’t be said enough, the final solution to all these driving problems are political. Fighting with the cops will not solve the problem. If your upset about all this revenue generation, as you correctly identified, then you need to get like minded people on your side and go after the politicians. Otherwise, your ultimately spinning your wheels, so to speak.
i am a single father and tickets have caused me not to be abel to take care of my family be cause my work i need a license to drive can some one out there help my ticket was 1,400 but detriot has razed them to 4,060 they say it is because pentaltes but every on nos they are broke in MI PLEASE HELP.
hey – walker ny
Law enforcement enforces from the PROFITABLE end of law. It cost money to go after the REAL problems in society, like meth labs,child molesters and crackheads busting into peoples houses. Or stealing AC units from churches for the copper.
We need legislation, but them crooks we have running the gov. will smile to our face and agree with us til they git behind closed doors. When they pass bill S1959, things will really git bad.
Makenzie – If you were sitting in the dark or light on the side of the road with yours lights on or off – south carolina h.p. would have burnt you for “illegal parking” for probably about $240 smackers.
s.c.h.p. is getting worse.
notice how the cops stopped posting after the practice of ‘professional courtesy’ was mentioned. (Cops letting each other off the hook when stopped for speeding).
That’s right, you sanctimonious parasites on the public treasury, you have no comeback for that practice.
HYPOCRITES !!!
I see more and more of these revenue collectors than ever, hiding at bottom of hills and other dark, sneaky places. I say we fight back. If everyone would flash their signals for the next few miles after passing one of these tax collectors, we’d dry up their revenue, or at least make it less profitable. Better, if I have time, I’m going to write a sign “Speed trap ahead” and flash it to oncoming traffic. Maybe even stand down the road for a few minutes (parked legally and standing on public property out of the road.) Freedom isn’t free, we have to fight this growing menace. When did the police decide to become revenue agents. Is that why they joined the force? Maybe for just an easy public service job. It sure isn’t about safety or fighting crime for hordes of cops in New York. I see traffic stops all over, very few meth labs busted.
OMG, I was given a ticket this morning by a police officer sitting in the dark with all his lights off doing 7 miles over the limit? How in the heck can it be legal for them to do this? If it were me sitting on the side of the road with all my lights off I would be considered Suspicious?
