I headed back to the main campus with 3 other girls after the class down 10th street.</p>
<p dir="auto">Apparently I pass some old guy and really pissed him off. I dropped the girls off at the union and proceeded to the pay lot just north of the union. As I am sliding my credit card into the pay machine this old guy (70+) glances back at me with a sheet of paper in his Dodge Durango and remarks;</p>
<p dir="auto">Old guy- "I got your licenses plate number!"<br />
Me- "Oh yeah buddy, did you?"<br />
Old guy- "Yeah, and youre getting a TICKET!!"<br />
Me- "Oh okay bud, I'm sure.."</p>
<p dir="auto">I pulled away from the pay machine and proceeded to park my car. The older guy pulled into a parking spot close to me with his window rolled down ranting on his cell phone "Yup, yup, hes still here!"</p>
<p dir="auto">I was in a hurry to get to some group work at the union and didn't think much of this old guy.</p>
<p dir="auto">About 30 mins ago, I was sleeping in my dorm room when my suite mate knocks on my door- "Hey man there is a cop here to talk to you"</p>
<p dir="auto">A short, 25ish year old female campus cop looks up at me with a 20 page pile of papers, including a full printed picture of my student ID (Like I am a murder suspect or some shit), and remarks:<br />
Cop-"Do you have the keys to your car!?!??!"<br />
Me- "Yah.... "<br />
Cop- "Are you the only one with these keys?!?"<br />
Me- "yes..whats your point?"<br />
Cop- "You know exactly the point, an older gentle man approached you in the pay lot saying he had your plate numbers. Well he was a retired police officer!!! He informed us that you were driving at a high rate of speed down 10th street in a school zone!"<br />
Me- "Oh okay, yeah that guy. He was freaking out"<br />
Cop- "Were you driving at a high rate of speed?"<br />
Me- "No... there were 3 other girls in the car with me"<br />
Cop- "Well that's all I needed to know, its your word against his word in court over this reckless driving ticket. Care to give your friends names?"<br />
Me- "No I don't want to drag them into it if I don't have to."<br />
Cop- "Okay well is this the right address to send the court papers?"<br />
Me- "Yeah, that's my address..."</p>
<p dir="auto">Cop walks off all like an X girlfriend that has dirt on you or something.</p>
<p dir="auto">.................Seriously?</p>
<p dir="auto">Can they cite me for a reckless driving ticket just based off of some old, pissed off retired cop's BS claim???</p>
<p dir="auto">I called my father and all he remarks is; "That's what you get for diving a car like that, better call your friends."</p>

<p dir="auto">^^^ and this right hear is why you get a lawyer. I took a traffic ticket to district court once and won. It cost me about $1000 but i didn't lose my licence and my insurance wasn't dropped. So it was well worth the price.</p>

<p dir="auto">i had a conditions/care required ticket go to court.  Cop never got a fix on me.</p>
<p dir="auto">During examination, I made the cop admit that I was going UNDER the speed limit, going slower than he was, and that nothing i did was illegal, and that the only thing that might have been a safety concern was something he was worried i "might" do but that he <em>actually</em> did (enter a lane that might have had oncoming traffic).</p>
<p dir="auto">But it doesn't matter.  It's not justice, its not right or wrong, its the people in power reminding you that they are in power.</p>
<p dir="auto">Lawyers have bought into the maintenance of the state's monopoly on violence.  So they get a pass.</p>
<p dir="auto">Get a lawyer and you'll be fine.  Self defend and it's a crap shoot.</p>
