What to do about a lying cop? My wife just called me crying because she just got pulled over by a cop. He said "I just noticed you put your seat belt on". Later he said, "I noticed you didn't have your seat belt on from the freeway, so I pulled up beside you to confirm."
This is the biggest load of bull ever - the officer is lying through his teeth. My wife hasn't had a ticket in years, and is a very cautious driver.
What do you suggest, and how much would it cost if they say too bad, so sad?

I don't know much about this, but I guess you could file a complaint, but I doubt it would do any good.
I don't think these tickets are very expensive, but its the principle of it. It would probably end up being more money then its worth to fight it. Sucks, but thats just the way it is.

LOL! sounds about like the time this female state trooper on a massive power trip gave me a no seatbelt ticket, when I was wearing a red 5 point harness. I got out of the car when I read the ticket to ask her before she drove away and she drew her ****** gun on me!
I was just like "hey! I was wearing my seat belt"
her "I DIDN'T SEE IT! GET BACK IN THE CAR"
I got my charges dropped

I hate how cops think they're always right

I got pulled over in Arkansas when a state trooper decided to pull out in front of me on the highway. i was going 75mph, the speed limit. he didnt give me much room to slow down and i was driving my 8000lbs Z71 Suburban so i had to really give it some effort to slow down, then he pulled me over for tailgating. I had my Ruger P97 with me as i was moving from little rock to houston.
I got arrested for an unknown reason, and after 3 days in jail i was released cuz they couldnt figure out why i was there. My gun had mysterously vanished, no paperwork no record no nothing. and the holster, the ammo, extra magazines, the speed loader, basically every accessory for the gun, gone.
OP fight his *** to the death, dont let him get away with anything.

That does not apply 99% of the time. Police officers are usually considered expert witnesses. Their testimony is usually held as a higher standard. Good luck getting a jury or the judge to question their side of the story unless its just completely ridiculous.

In general, seat belt violations for adults are non-moving violations. So if you pay them you do not get points added to your license. See this link as a reference.
Practically though, most seat belt tickets are pled out for $25 plus court costs. Court costs are usually the kicker and ramp up the total amount. Prosecutors do not like trying single seat belt tickets to juries because they usually have bigger fish to fry - but they do it (I did).
Hope that helps.
