Speeding ticket: Cops allowed to park on shoulder facing opposite direction on hwy?

[JBird]

You are such an awesome BF, I hope all this response gets you anal. Now go drive your ugly ass e60 off a cliff fucker <3

LMAO, okay, I have to lower myself down to your level for a second. Don't be mad and bitch about your small penis and how you can't afford a newer car such as an e60 and have to take out your anger on others because of this. I believe that this is why most people don't like the new BMW's, because they cannot afford them.

@Jbird, you are no fun...I wanted an angry response. Thank goodness your BF felt a need to defend you. I just wanted to mess with you, r3v just seems to be lacking noobs to flame lately. I'm outta here/

P.S. Plus give him some anal, there are great strap ons he would enjoy.

F34r, I am not going to lower myself down to your level and give you what you were looking for. I feel as though I am above all of those immature joking and attacking remarks on fellow R3V members. Unlike you, I can respect other people's opinions and feelings, especially when they are communicated in a mature and intelligent manner. And unlike you, I am not trying to get a rise out of people.

Anal is for priests and the little boys on r3v. :)

You're here. Or you were. ;)

The discussion is about the speed limits and safety of being parked the wrong direction. No one is saying the speeding citation is not fare. The fact that the LEO was fishing for more is outside the bounds of the takedown.

Does not matter, they can park where they desire.

20 over on an empty country road only puts two people in any danger in the event there would ever be a problem. I don't see anything wrong with that. Hench the discussion about getting local governments to change the classification of citations based on the conditions. Is that not the adult thing to do?

I hate morons.

I think you've lived in NY too long around too many corrupt cops. Get your Judge Dredd thoughts out of your mind. Cops only enforce the law. The point is to change the laws they enforce.

Police are not bad here in NY, only in small towns from the lack of traffic violations. I got busted for my tint on the outskirts of a small town. My Grandfather was one of the first K9 operators in NYS. I have respect for them. Everyone has a bad day.

lulz.

btw only took us 4 pages to fulfill Godwin's Law.

hahaha, that is so awesome! I have never heard of Godwin's Law until now, thanks !Austin and Chad.

F34r obviously never NFS drifted between two vehicles on a public road before

Who gives a fuck if you were caught by a Cop that outsmarted you.

The discussion is about the speed limits and safety of being parked the wrong direction. No one is saying the speeding citation is not fare. The fact that the LEO was fishing for more is outside the bounds of the takedown.

We drive e30s here and most of us are adult enough to drive sensible. Save it for the track if you want to do better than 10 over.

Cops can sit where they want anytime. Even in the middle of the road to slow traffic down for a crash ahead. They are the law.

I love how morons jump to the E-thug behind the computer comeback. Please join an e60 forum and bitch there about that shit. I bet they would all join in and give their angry experiences.

I am not looking to complain and bitch about my experience. I am not looking to try to get out of the ticket and I don't believe that I shouldn't have received the ticket. However, I am looking for a mature, intelligent discussion on the subject of traffic laws, enforcement, and fines.

But again and again, mature, intelligent discussions are hard to come by on R3V. And they are especially hard to come by when people like you know that I am a female, so I am automatically belittled and demeaned such as with your comment above...

Every so often though I'd want to sit in a completely marked car with a sign a mile ahead as warning "OFFICER AHEAD!" in big bright letters, maybe even lit. That way, when someone did go flying by me I could have the smug satisfaction of not only knowing I was ticketing a speeder, but I was ticketing a distracted mutherfocker. I'm far less scared (as a driver) of the people going ten over as I am passing someone that is starring down at their crotch as if it's the coolest thing since sliced bread.

Now back on topic...

This is exactly what I would do if I were a cop as well. I believe that this sort of warning would, most often, do just as well at getting people to slow down as giving people speeding tickets. I know that if the cop at least had his parking lights on and I could see him, that I would have surely slowed down and been reminded that it's not okay to speed out there because cops can sit and patrol wherever they want.

Cya Mr. Burns.

Dragging racial remarks,slang and innuendo unfortunately discount and devalue your defense argument, regardless of "Austin" is your boyfriend or not.

You become guilty by association, therefore all pretenses pertaining to valid discourse can be rendered obsolete. If you're looking for an actual valid conversation, after some time you found one.

Dragging in ignorance, regardless as to whether it'd be subjective to opinions sake unplugs the forecast to a non-biased and partisan position to all members when your counterpart who experienced the encounter of said traffic infraction was clearly present with you.

I was mid-writting a killer rock love-ballade about the depth and clarity of this thread, which has now been martyred by a smattering of hate spewed verbal diatribe...

I crumbled my papers, set aside my mandolin and bid this discussion adieu.

Farewell fairest jBird, may you irrationally speed among the freeways at your will and pleasure, let not any law or recommendation ever guide you, you cut the path to righteousness.

That would seem to indicate that the law is broken and does not solve the problem. It then simply becomes a tax - nothing more.

If you are serious then taking away their license forever is the only way to solve it right? What do you suggest instead of having a fee to ensure people are obeying the safety laws of road.

And there lies the safety question. The LEO had to preform a u-turn across two lanes of oncoming traffic [had there been any] to start following to preform his takedown.

So we need a police to police the police...interesting. Sounds like you are pissed you got busted. You are trying to cancel out what you did wrong with what they did wrong. Same things kids do when they get caught, try to justify what they did wrong.

Man, I hate how a lot of threads on R3V turn into bickering and fighting... But it's easy to do when hiding behind a computer screen.

I feel like if I said it were my boyfriend that I would get even more shit from you guys.

If I said it wasn't my boyfriend then maybe the discussion would continue on normally.

...so its your boyfriend. Thanks for clarifying that for us.

Protect and Serve. They protected the possibility of you crashing that night and served you with a ticket. Sounds like he filled his job duties.

So that's not your boyfriend? I assumed since he was talking about it like he was there.
