well i thank you for ur help iam sure i will be asking some more questions

 

Sorry, I read all the pages and found the info I needed.

 

no lights on requirement in NJ.

yes, you need at least the drivers outside door mirror. (remember when the pass. door mirror was an option on cars?) panaramic rear view mirrors are not an exception to the ruling.

we don't use private driveways for traps, but we could...

 

Sorry i had to ask tell your wife i said hello and i'll bake HER some cookies to make ammends for any damage i may have caused.... damn women's always be checkin up on u

Honestly i think that hiding in a driveway isn't very nice!!! but a cop must do what a cop must do....and a violation is indeed a violation....i'm glad to see that this thread got bumped again i was starting to worry about it's fate...

(This applies to a question TcChamp had about Miranda Warnings in separate thread)


Notice of Rights (aka-Miranda Warnings) are given when two elements exists. Custody and Interrogation. If your friend was "taken into custody" he must be informed of his rights if an Officer is going to ask any questions (This doesn't include normal booking procedures since it consists only your personal Bio-information)

It doesn't matter if it is oral or written. If your in "custody" and I have "investigative" questions then I "must" Read you your Notice of Rights. By the way we don't call them Miranda Warnings no more.

On a simple car stop with only a Summons or Infraction issued no Notice of Rights are neccassary since you were not taken into custody. So the answer to your question is "No". It is however still considered an "Arrest"

Well I guess no one has any further questions. I'll check back in a day or so just in case someone has something for me. If not, Well then I'll say it's been a pleasure assisting you all and have fun with your Scions.

eddie, me and a friend both got tickets for "simple trespassing". We were both in our trucks out in the woods, some lady called and complained and the police came and were waiting for us at the entrance of the trail. If i pay this 92 dollar ticket, will i get something back in the mail about it in the future at all?

Infraction Ticket (Simple Tresspass) Fine $92.00

No, you wont get anything back in the mail other than probably a receipt. This is a simple fine and wont go on your record.

Curios though.....
Was it private property? Was the area posted "No tresspassing or Private Property"?
Check into that and if it's worth your time you may want to contest it in Court. I would just pay the fine instead of taking a day off from work and going to court and waste my time.

It was someone's farm. So i guess it was private property. Would I be able to put a return adress on the envelope other than my own? I'm still living at home and i really don't want my parents to give me hell about it.

 

No harm in using a different reuturn address but most likely they will use the address wrtitten on the ticket by the cop. The envelope with your new return address most likely will get chucked when it arrives at the Court Office Clerk.

will the ticket reflect on my insurance b/c i was driving a car?

 

I live in PA and I was looking at getting a License Plate Frame with scrolling LED Text do you know if that is legal to have operating while your driving on the roads or anywhere for that matter?

 

"No" the charge wont affect your insurance. The charge isn't even considered a M.V. charge even though you were in your vehicle.

It would fall under a Municipal / City Ordinance. I read that you said that it was on Farm property.

Yea Just pay the Ticket unless of course you had permission to be there.
No Record, Point against license, or Insurance hike because of the charge.
ScionCop

 

This is Ct Law. You need to look up if it's different in PA.

14-18(c) Improper attachment to plate C.G.S. (Infraction / Fine $78.00)

Attachments not authorized by the MV Commissioner, or the plates holder has attachments that cover part of the plate.

Alright, thanks for the help/clearing up the details for me :D

 

hey i have some questions, by the way thanks for directing me in my other thread about financing, anyway here they are

1) how many fellow officers in your expierience have you seen to be pretty cool decent people like your self, is it the majority or just a handful?

2) does ct have a law on mininum hieght your headlights have to be off the ground?

3) if you get stopped for speeding, and you ask them for the "reciept" from the gun and the officer doesnt have it, is it true that they cant give you the ticket as there is no proof of you exeeding the limit?

and finnaly

4) is tinting your headlights/taillights illegal in CT, im not talking about black tints, but i mean how some cars will have there headlights tinted a shade of a color to match thier car usually blue or yellow?


thank you

 

1- Yes, most cops are real cool people. I am not saying that just blow smoke up your rear. We are people just like you who are performing a "Civil Service". There are a few who make us shake our heads because of what they do on the job. It's unfortunate but thats a part of life.

2-Head Lamps 22 inch minimum to a maximum of 54 inches off the ground.

3- Not true. We are not obligated to show you anything at the scene of a car stop. We do however supply the information on a police report to back up our actions. You can request a copy of that Police report at a later time.

4-I didn't look it up but I would say yes it is illegal to have tints on your h-lamps and Tail lamps. Covers are illegal on tail lamps. H-lamps cover must come off when it's dark enough that H-lamps are required for normal driving.

Hey scion cop, newbie here and awaiting my own tC, like yourself....

One question. It really irks me when I see ploice vehicles speeding without lights on. Yes, I know that they have the option to go to a scene without lights/sirens if the situation isn't severe enough. They are allowed to go over the speed limit by a certian amount for this. But, cops have jurisdiction, right? If a cop that was many towns over from his/her normal town's jurisdiction, are they allowed to speed? They can't possibly be going to a call, especially if they are headed away from their own town. This bothers me and I wonder if you could tell me the laws, at least your state's, regarding when a ploice officer is allowed to speed and not allowed to speed.

By the way, I live in RI, so if you know that state's laws too, cool.
