You can take traffic school once ever 18 months here in Orange County. They hardly ever allow you to take traffic school again before that 18 months is up. And if you are going 20 over in a school zone, good luck asking for a fine reduction.
I just got a ticket for 20 over on the freeway (85 in a 65), that's a $100 fine, plus fees and assesments it comes out to $481.

If anything, if you don't want to fight the ticket, it wouldn't hurt to ask for second offender traffic school.

YES. Their Markers have to be on at the very least, otherwise it's "entrapment". But It doesn't really matter. Cops can do whatever they please. I just got pulled over about a week ago (did a fish tail around a corner) and the cop was sitting parked with no lights on and I saw him after and so I just pulled over and for that, he just let me go with a warning. I was considering saying something but it's his word against mine.

I don't know how the, "You didn't let me see you before I broke the law." defense will work...

I don't think that is a law here. The cop can hop out of a tree and give you a ticket. If you are doing something wrong, your are doing something wrong...how is that entrapment?

My cop had already handed me my ticket when I asked if he should have his lights on and he said no. I asked him to define the entrapment code and he just walked away....

Its more for the cops safety IMO. I passed a highway patrol sitting on the shoulder with all of his lights off. I saw him in the car and he was no where near a street light. He could easily wind up a smear on the side of the road.

!st off, Police Officers, DO NOT need to have lights on, or markers on, or tell people where we are...
there are lots of these theories that have been passed down, they are simply not true. In fact, we can do pretty much anything right up until get in your car and speed for you then cite you. So if you wanna speed, COOL, just remember when you get caught its your own fault, and its not ENTRAPMENT... You speed, You get caught, YOU lose.... PERIOD!

just got a speeding ticket today for going 45 in a 25 "school zone". the ticket doesnt mention anything about a school zone just says "unsafe speed". anyone know what i should expect from this ticket? and fyi i go to traffic school thursday for my other speeding ticket i got on august 3rd. haha *** its feb 1st i hope that counts as six months!
On a lighter note i just got off work and had some fun with a really nice blue ss. we played some tag and had a couple pulls all the way from where the 60frwy and 605frwy merge to the 210. anyone here on tech?? really nice ride!!

Haha I was just repeating what my officer neighbor told me. I also live in Nevada so laws may be different. Either way I wasn't saying its a way to get out of a ticket at all. If anything that makes it worse. Just answering what was asked. I may be wrong though lol

HORRIBLE ADVICE..... what could be a verbal or written warning is GUARANTEED to be a "full boat" citation when you become challenging and all knowing...
FYI sixshooter, WE DONT NEED TO SHOW THE SPEEDER ****!... and Driving at safe speeds, according to LAW is the cops perception based on experience, and usually a break that a "full boat" cite. But hey.... you challenge the cop next time he catches you in one of your KILL STORY races.... see where that gets you....

not to hijack thread but i got a ticket for speeding and theres no speeding sign.well the cop told me that he was pacing me after i had made a left on to a street wich i was half way down the street when he decided to fallow me.wich it would take him 55 mph to catch up to me going 35 half way down the street.i got the ticket for going 56 in a 35 and theres no ******* speeding signs on the street.he wrote he got me going on speed approx. 55 then he wrote 56 on the radar side.when i asked him to show me the radar he said thats the speed i was pacing u at, i was like wtf.i got vids and pics of the street for when i go to court.any chance i might beat that.never told the cop how fast i was going never told him nothing didnt wanna incriminate myself. just take it to court no point in arguing with the cop at the end u always get the ticket.
