Where do people like you come off calling the cop an "***"? The cop should go in and NOT tell the details? You're opinion is confusing because on the one hand, you're telling jp to pay the ticket, but then you turn around and start sound like someone who breaks the law, gets caught, then cries about it.

People who think like you are the reason most people don't get breaks...

I was amazed when I heard about a politician who took responsibilty for his actions. After Clinton, OJ, and a few other people, I wonder how our kids will behave.

We screw up; we pay the price.

Simple as that.

Slow down and comprehend what I am saying, Alegre323 should be the one to get bashed cause he said go and fight the ticket, well the cop was nice eneough to write him for only 10 over when he could have wrote him a 30 over ticket AND a careless driving ticket AND took him to jail for actually exceeding 50 OVER the limit, now if he goes to court to "fight it" and the cop comes to court dont you think he would be kinda pissed that this guy is going to court to plead not guilty to something he did actually do??? YES, if I was a cop and someone did that to me I would tell the judge the actual story and I am sure the situation would go through the roof pretty quick, so I never called him a *** I said he could pretty much become a *** over that.

Why don't you just take defensive driving if it's an option? If you haven't had a ticket in 10 years you can take it. I'm not sure how you're state works, but generally if you take it, it won't effect your insurance.

First of all, I fully understood what you wrote... and then you re-stated in your 2nd reply... you don't get it.

I am saying, you keep seeing the cop becoming an "***" meaning what? (Please explain) These guys are not going to pull out a baton in court and beat jp down if he fights the ticket... what exactly do you mean? You think he's gonna be pissed over getting paid overtime? You think it's taken personally? You're wrong. This is part of what they do for a living. Don't assume... you know how that goes.

My point is, instead of saying "...he could pretty much become a *** over that..." you could stand a lesson in articulating your thoughts better... there is no other way for me to "comprehend" what you wrote (twice now)...

You should go on a ride along with your local department, if you've never done so... it may open your eyes to a whole new way of seeing things.
