Who Will Be the Next To Get a Ticket?

[TurboDan]

i have no idea.  multiple vehicular manslaughters and duis, high speed chases, etc?  I know for a fact multiple DUIs won't necessarily pose a problem (I have friends who were admitted even with prior duis on their records.) 

This particular lawyer was driving home from the Ocean County Bar Association awards ceremony when he hatched this genius scheme after running somebody over while drunk:

Clearly a douchebag. Plus, how the hell do you get somebody to take the rap for something like that? I mean, I've had idiots try to take the rap for their buddies for things like DUI (which is monumentally stupid), but a felony hit and run? Wow.

You know, I didn't even mention that on New Year's Day I got pulled over by a very bored country cop while I was driving my whole herd up to brunch a couple towns over.  My Yukon's front plate had been pinched for a 2nd time, and he felt that it was necessary to remind me of that fact.  I'm not convinced the plate was stolen, but this is the 2nd time it's disappeared.  Maybe it fell off? I had the dealer install it with a new bracket and all the right nuts and bolts a year ago. Anyway, the cop ran all my data and decided that I wasn't a terrorist, so he let me go.  With a warning, as usual. The new plate should be in the mail this week. 

My plate was about to fall off a few months ago.  Went to a hardware store, got some screws that fit, and put three in with Loctite.  The fourth screw just couldn't find the threads.  But, three with Loctite, that plate's not going anywhere.

I'm definitely Loctiting when I get my new plate.  It's a royal PITA to have to deal with this.  It definitely won't fall off, and if someone is stealing it, it'll at least slow them down.

Yeah was wondering that as well.  Dude mustha been reeeeeeal hard up for cash!

[Colonel Cadillac]

Good to hear.  I think more often than not, out of state tickets don't transfer.  Nice.

Clearly not! I think my car insurance negotiation will work out well (whenever I get around to it).

I've been very lucky lately. Every time I go to visit my GF in Leon (250 miles away) every federal I see is otherwise busy.

I've been averaging about 90mph for the full 2:25 hrs trip including toll booths and some traffic.

But you live in PA....?

Yeah, we still have license plates though.  My plate was about to fall off.

I thought you guys spray painted your registration number on the hood and trunk.

No problem.  Plus a roll of Nashua 357 Duct Tape.  That's the true "Hundred Mile an Hour" tape.  You'll need that.

[CALL_911]

PA doesn't require a front plate, though....?

[Raza]

PA doesn't require a front plate, though....?

No, no front plate.  But I still have a plate.  One plate.  At the back.  And it was about to fall off. 

[CALL_911]

No, no front plate.  But I still have a plate.  One plate.  At the back.  And it was about to fall off.

Ooooooh, I thought you were talking about the front plate.

[Raza]

Ooooooh, I thought you were talking about the front plate.

Nope.  I don't have a front plate.  I live in PA.

[CALL_911]

Nope.  I don't have a front plate.  I live in PA.

I bought my car in PA, which still doesn't have a front plate on it.

The off-the-record story was that the attorney and the "employee who took the rap" were childhood friends. One became a hotshot lawyer, one was a loser who lived in a crappy borderline-section-8 apartment complex. Brick Township, NJ is a weird place. We have $15 million mansions and we have $50K flop houses that are rented out to the state. Shit like this happens.

Employee took the rap to protect his lifelong friend.

Ironically, the lawyer in this whole thing made the almost comically dumb decision of parking his dented car LITERALLY IN FRONT OF THE ISLAND POLICE SUBSTATION.

Taking the rap for a buddy is a time-honored tradition.  I might do it for a really good friend if the rap were minor.  But something more serious -- no way.

That sort of thing probably happens a lot more in school than in real life.

Pardon my naivete, what what's the value in stealing a plate? The melt value of the aluminum? Use it to throw LEOs off the scent if you rob a bank?

It takes 10 seconds to check whether a car matches its plate. Or does one only steal plates off cars that are identical makes/models to your own?

[Colonel Cadillac]

I knew a guy in New Orleans who bought a car, but then didn't want to pay the $100 or whatever it was to register it and get plates, so he stole some plates instead. At some point he went off the grid, aka went to jail because he was caught with stolen plates.

He also isn't sure if he fathered two children, and actively makes sure he never finds out.

What a irresponsible dumbass

So according to a Canadian who lives here year round and manages a rental property here for her parents, she's gotten out of several tickets just by bribing the traffic cops.

I got a goddamned red light camera ticket in the mail today. It was a right turn on red, and I came to a rolling stop (no traffic, perfectly safe). There was video and I logged in and viewed, I definitely did not come to a complete stop.

This is bullshit.

Man, that's dopey. Electrochromic would be 1000x better, and practically instant too.

What a lame citation.  Nowhere near as much fun as a high speed speeding ticket.

They have a spray paint that reflects bright light, like camera flashes.
