If you were walking back from the store just holding the liqour you should be ok. If you had no open containers and your minor had no odor of an alcoholic beverage or no signs of intoxicaion there should be no problem.

Just because a minor is holding a container (closed) in the presence of an adult does not constitute procureing to minors. The minor isn't the one supposed to get the ticket, the adult is. If you the adult claimed the liquor and informed the cop that the kid was just carring it for you I would contest the ticket. Everybody can have there day in court. If your 19 yr old has a clean record and presents himself well in front of the judge (No slang, well dressedm, polite and receptive) the judge may dump the charges.

Try this. Go to your doctor and have him give you documentation about your skin disease. Take the document to your Dept of M.V. and try to get special permission to get that U.V. tint. If the Dept gives you permission they will give you a authorization slip for your tints. If you get pulled over show your Authorization card from Dept M.V. A state sealed Authorization slip will kill any "probable cause" for issuance of a ticket. If you get a ticket make an appointment with that Cop's Supervisor and explain your situation. Be sure to make your apointment A.S.A.P for your ticket wil get mailed to Traffic court and they won't be able todo anything then. The Supervisor can void the ticket if the P.D. still has it. Just remember not to burn the Cop that gave you the ticket. I'll have to come looking for you j/k

This is going to blow your mind. Many people will get into a heavy discussion or flat out arument when receiving a Ticket from a cop. Wrong, All you have to do is ask a simple question and your all set.

Just politely ask the Officer "Can you please inform me how I may contest this ticket for I beleive I have a valid reason for doing so"

If you do it right the Officer will show exaclty how to fight the ticket that he just gave you. Officers arent taking anything personal when issuing tickets they are just doing there job. Most people think that Officers are getting a kick out of giving tickets--Not true. Cops are people too and understand that people are strapped for cash or have other hardships in there lives. It amazes me that a lot of people won't ask that.

Avoid getting confrontational, emotional and be receptive to the Officer. You just may get a verbal warning. To be honest with you many times when a Cop gives out a Ticket it's because the citizen "asked for it".

Thanks a lot... i have a derma appointment next week and will ask the doc about this...

 

If you get flat out caught on radar for speeding doyourself a favor and don't act stupid with the cop. Once the Cop tells you that he stopped you for speeding just say "Yes Sir, Sorry Sir" and have your papers ready. Denial will just get the Cop mad.

Once the Cop finishes talking to you, your question is--"Sorry for speeding sir and thank you for making me realize that I was doing so", "If there is any possible way you can avoid giving me a ticket or reduce my amount it would help me out a lot for I have some financial difficulties" Be proffessional (no slang)

In many cases if you do it right be ready to get shocked.

hey thanks a lot for our replies i think you've become like a god of the NE!!

A chrome car would be illegal. It reflects all light and becomes a driving hazard to other motorists. I had chome pinstriping in my '78 Nova in High School, and got busted for it. I didnt get a ticket, but the cop made sure i removed it.

 

a chrome car in NJ is NOT illegal. a cop might deem you a public hazard (like a big mirror shining light into peoples eyes and blinding them). but def. not illegal.

i have seen one car mostly chrome and a few bikes all chrome/polished. never had a problem with them.

cb, if you got friction from pinstripes, then the cop had it in for you.
(btw, it was nice to see you at vip 2)

 

You are a great help Scioncop. I would never believe that a Cop is giving us advise about how to talk to a Cop when getting pulled over. I only wish some of the cops in my town were as cool and straight forward as you are. It seems like everytime you try to be nice to an officer, he all of a sudden thinks that you are beeing a smart ___, and tries to give you more of a hard time.

Thanks for answering everyone's questions though.

 

No problem helping you guys out. I'm actually helping both side Civilian and Law Enforcement.
If I can give you information that will make your life easier and the job of a Police Officer easier than why not. It's not like if teaching you to cheat the system.

The information that I give you is down right true and is not intended to swindle other Officers. I would never do that. If you are better informed of the Law then chances are you will not fall into violation and it would make less work for Officers in your area to worry about.

[quote="Eddie8124"]Shawn I'm not sure what You mean by smoked taillights. Are you talking about tinted covers that attach to your lamps?

exactly and how dark can you have them??

 

Where in CT are you from?

Do you happen to know if the State Police have laser guns in use? If so, would I be likely to be pulled over if their gun happened to malfunction while aimed at my car?

 

hehehe I was considering fabricating one of those. . . a home made hidden jammer for radar and laser. . . it wouldn't be too hard to hide something like that and to have a good hidden switch ( I like kill switches that short the fuse. . . that way it can't be reactivated until you replace the fuse ) but I don't want to risk getting busted. . . and I'm pretty sure that question wouldn't get friendly answers from any cop :twisted: . Hahahaha. But it's worth a shot right?

 

I am going to work today. I will look it up and post the info sometime tonight. I haven't delt with smoked tail lamps.

Adam CSP uses lidar detectors. Its a single shot ray (Pull Trigger) pin pointed right to your vehicle. That means that radar detectors are usesless because if you pick up a signal it means you been caught already.

A smart Officer would only give you a verbal or warning ticket if his ladar reliability is questionable. No way i'm going to Traffic Court and vouch on a defective machine.

You live in Ct so you know that CSP is very aggressive and they don't play around. My advice of course is to stay with in the speed limits and be safe.

86 mph and above on a High Way or 56 mph or above on a state road means you'll be seeing the Judge on a Reckless Driving Charge. Not good

Djctwatt this section is designed to make drivers more aware of the Law so they won't leave them selves open for violations. It is not intended to find ways to cheat the Law but I will tell you this.

If you use a radar Jammer a Cop / Trooper will know. How ? Haha Our secret. If you want to take your chances and get a criminal Mischief 3rd charge on top of your M.V. charges then be my guest.

If you fall in Violation of using a Jammer and speeding especially one that is hidden inside your vehicle then your vehicle will be towed impounded and released back to the owner only after the Judge releases it. Trust me they are in no rush, we've had vehicles for months.

After your vehicles released expect to get an invitation to have your vehicle inspected at DMV which means that your in for a world of hurt. You'll find out that it was easier to just pay a speeding ticket or even easier to stay with in the speed limits.

Do what I did - wire the side one's into your turn signals and claim them as a safety enhancement....you're adding an extra brake/turn signal which is fine by the rules he quoted ^_^

 

Some Myths / Tricks....Not True or won't work

Putting pennies in your mouth will cause a ionization factor that will throw off machine

Using MouthWash, Bubble gum, or smoking will help you

Making yourself vommit will lower your Blood Alcohol content

Faking an injury and sending yourself to the hospital to avoid an arrest will work (Hospital does a mandated Blood test that Officer can get with search warrant)

Fleeing the scene of a M.V. accident and then claiming car stolen. Has never worked yet. To many solvabilty factors working against you.

Attempting to switch seats after getting stopped. Sometimes the passenger is worse than the driver. LOL

Trying to fool the Intoxilizer Machine. The machine is designed to detect numerous types of cheating. If someone finds a way we get a new machine. Same machine for years now.

Any questions about D.U.I please let me know.

Good to know.

Drinking and driving is one of the lamest things you can do.

 

Problem with those things is that they are so strong that you may be eligable for a Violation of Illegal Use of High Beams C.G.S. even if it's on normal power meaning at high beam status your going to glow like crazy.

Having a HID itself is not a violation. It's the power that it gives out. If you want to play it safe get the HID with power approved by your state.

HID are like laser beams going into your eyes when looking into the rear view mirror at a vehicle with them behind you.
