can i sue the police department for arresting me for a dui charge and then they dismissed my charge in court?
Just like my question asks can I sue them for wrongfully arresting me. The reason why I was arrested was because I failed the tests. I am over weight and told the officer I had balance issues and this is not the first time I have been arrested for the same thing.
I was pulled over because the officer stated that I was speeding, he asked me to get out of my vehicle, he never even asked for my license and registration, the road I was on was very dark and I did not know the area, also I know for a fact that I was going way below the speed limit which where I was the speed limit was 45. He told me I was going 75, I asked him if he used a radar gun he said no, but that he could approximate, Well I know for a fact that I was going moderately slow because I was looking for a street name. The streets with the names on them were dark as well so I was pulling close to each and every one of the streets, due to bad eye sight as well, and even with my glasses I can’t see too far. This happened in the AM hours on labor day weekend 2010.
The officer who pulled me over was a motorcycle cop, when he asked me to get out of my vehicle he automatically had me do a test and before I started the test I was like oh no not again i knew where this was gonna go. When we talked for the first few minutes I was not so nervous I was trying to stay calm. Then once he said to do the sobriety test my legs started to shake. I was so nervous and that is what happened last time, also I deal with anxiety so all the cars that drove by I immediately started to get very nervous cause all that was on my mind was that they were watching.
So I did all the test and even offered to do a breathalyzer test the officer told me no because he thought I was on a drug, he then called another officer who had a patrol car to show up. Which at that very moment I knew they were gonna arrest me. When I was arrested they put me in the back of the cop car and they were talking by the drivers side window, the cop who pulled me over started talking all quietly to the other officer about how his main goal was to pull over as many drivers as possibly for the soul purpose to find a few intoxicated drivers because he was not meeting his quotas for the night. When he brought me to the DUI RV i did more tests and i plainly just felt dumb because everyone else there was drunk and i mean like falling over and slurred speech I had non of those symptoms except for nervousness. after talking with some guy inside the RV the arresting officer was like saying sorry to me, saying that even though he arrested me and it seems like your not on anything as he thought i was when he arrested me he appologized to me and was like I wish I could go back and not have arrested you but hey you can fight this in court. So basically he lied about everything and wasted my time and his. I was disgusted

can you get a speeding ticket with the radar gun if there is no sign that there is radar enforced?
i got a "speeding ticket" by going 50 on the street. i know i wasn’t going 50 so after showing insurance and stuff i asked the cop to show me the radar gun. he said ok but never did. i want to fight this ticket but i don’t think i will win because its his word against mine. but i heard that they cant give you a ticket using the radar gun unless there is a sign posted somewhere saying radar enforced or something. Is that true? I always see the cops in motorcycles on that street all the time and ive never seen a sign. and by the way this is in california.
what are some tips for beating a speeding ticket?
I got a speeding ticket In goodyear, Az today anyone know some tips that correspond in getting by arizona law……it was a motorcycle cop he used his radar on me and got me at 67 on a 45 then said he got me again at 65….I read some of arizona’s statutes(laws) one guy from work said i can ask to see the records of when was the last time the radar gun was calibrated and what was the temperature and psi of the cops tires,,, pls help me out need any tips….I’ve only had one other speeding ticket which i got a month b4 but other than that i’ve had a clean record…there was no ppl or cars around me at the time and it was an open road
I’ve never been to court im only 19 but most ppl have been their by this age and i dont know how that works…so when i go to court i plead not guilty and then if i loose appeal to the decision and hope for the best? does the court charge me for any of this? I dont want to spend more than 4 which is the cost of my ticket
What do people think of the new unconstitutional ruling about street racing/speeding?
my man was recently stopped for speed racing (on the court form) and speeding (on the traffic ticket issued at the same time) and had his motorcycle put "in jail" by the traffic cop and his license suspended for 7 days.
The lady cop told him that if one goes 50km above the speed limit, (which he wasn’t, she didn’t didn’t show him the radar gun readingand it was impossible for the bike to accelerate that quickly in the time frame she said), one is charged with street racing, which has now been deemed "unconstitutional’ in Ontario traffic law.
He has to go to court later in october and the charge will be dismissed although folks are still being charged, having their vehicles and licenses taken away and having to pay the "storage fees’ of having their vehicle in jail at 68.00 per day for 7 days with a 5 minute pick up time, and 150.00 to unsuspend one’s license.
Has anyone here in Ontario had the same experience?
thoughts?
I meant STUNT RIDING.
Yeah ok.
What the thing was.
he wasn’t going 50km above the speed limit.
We SAW the speedometer.
he was going 20 km above, (Not good, I know) however, she charged him with going 50km ABOve, which wasn’t possible considering the properties of the bike. the bike doesn’t have a fareing. There’s no way he could have been doing 150km in a period of 4 seconds.
it was physically impossible for the bike to go that fast.
There were 4 other bikes that were speeding next to us…..anyway, if anyone actually wants TO READ the entire post, (I know it’s looong), I’d REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
Demos.
Thank you!
You were the only one who actually read my question and Yes, just today, courts found that Stunt racing, (I was so excited in writing, i left important details out), had been ruled unconstitutional due to the drivers inability to defend themselves in Ontario courts.
Kinda like here when not one but you will actually look objectively at the facts before judging.
It will be thrown out of court, however the fees incurred by having the bike in jail and the reinstating of the licence is a money grab by the police affiliated vehicle jails under the guise of "towing companies".
Again, you’d make a good lawyer.
First Speeding ticket, how does this effect my insurance in WI?
Well, I was not really paying attention and I was supposibly going 85 in a 50mph zone..Even I was shocked when the cop on the motorcycle told me how fast I was going, I was about to ask to see his radar gun but I didnt, I think i was only going 73mph or so…Anyways this was my first offence, Im 17 years old, and I recieved a rediculous 6 fine and 6 points off my license…The car is under my parents insurance, so are they stuck with the increase when I buy my own plan or am I? When do the points get removed from my license? I live in Wisconsin if this helps
Please no comments about I shoudnt be speeding that fast, save me time and dont write that, serious answers that will help me out and no bs, or I will report spam thanks
pow math help please?
You are a highway patrol officer,seated on a motorcycle, on a curvy section of Highway 1. The posted speed limit is 45 mile per hour on this stretch of highway. You are monitoring traffic with a radar gun. The first exit is 3.6 miles up the road. Your radar picks up a speeding car averaging 68 mph. When you try to start your motorcycle to follow the car, it won’t be able to catch the speeding car before it can turn off the highway. Finally, your motorcycle starts and you begin your pursuit 30 seconds after the speeding car has passed you on the roadside.
How fast do you need to go to catch up to speeding car? What is your average speed in pursuit?.
Thanks.
Advise for challenging a traffic citation.?
We were 15 minutes into Reno, Nevada passing through the downtown area when my dear sister received a traffic citation for driving 30 in a 15mph zone. Only one car was ahead of her that separated me in the front. She was following me as a I was the lead car of two. I watch in the rear view mirror as she was being pulled over and cited from beginning to end.
Earlier we passed a motorcycle police officer that had pull over other driver. While my sister was being cited, we saw other driver pulled over this time by a squad car.
The officer was both austere and condensing towards my sister who had believe it or not never received a traffic ticket.
Questions arouse my mind as to how long does a radar gun need to obtain a speed reading. Do police just need a split second to read? Do police officers who use radar gun wait for the highest reading?
Also, we were out of state at the time and cannot appear personally to challenge so my sister is stuck paying ticket. Advise
how do I fight this speeding ticket?…?
A police officer followed behind me on my motorcycle and pulled me over for doing 80 in a 60. He did not use a radar gun and has no physical proof other than his word. He simply checked his speed as he pull up close to me. How can I fight this? discovery?
help please with math question?

Which feeling sucks more?
A. realizing you have no money after you ordered your nachos bell grande in the drive thru
B. waking up and realizing you are 2 hours late for work
C. driving 85 mph down the street then seeing a motorcycle cop with a radar gun pointed at you
D. an atheist dying and realizing that God is real and they have to face judgment
Can a cop clock two motorcycles not riding side by side at the same time for the exact speed?
My husband was riding a motorcycle with his friend and they both got exact same speeding ticket, 30 over the speed limit. They were riding in a same lane but not side by side (they were going 90 so riding side by side is not safe). When my husband asked cop which bike did he clocked, cop told him that they were riding side by side, and that’s why they’re getting the same ticket. Oh, and cop gave them that excuse that he pulled them over and giving them a ticket for safety. That’s bunch of bull. Can radar gun clock two motorcycles at the same time? BTW, we live in TX.
BTW, they were by themselves on the road, so no danger to anyone else. My husband owns a radar gun, and we know that it will clock only fastest or the biggest object headed toward you. They are not unsafe riders. Proud to say no accidents, except for colliding with bugs ![]()
Traffic Citation?
The other day I got pulled over for speeding. Three weeks later I go online to lowestpricetrafficshool.com and another .gov site to pay my fine and go to driving school online. Both sites say that they are not able to find my citation number, so I thought that I would view my drivers license record to see anything in the past and still nothing showed up.
Basically both websites cannot find my ticket and im 100% sure of that. What should I do?
Just fyi: I got pulled over by a 2 cops standing in the median behind their motorcycle with a radar gun. It was one of those things where there are no computers involved unlike when u get pulled over by a cop car
In Arizona—a motorcycle cop was…?
sitting on his bike facing traffic pointing a radar gun at opposing traffic. He was stopped facing the opposite way on the enter side of an entrance to a business. Is this legal?? Isn’t that considered a private property?
In California can a policeman hide off his vehicle behind another vehicle with a radar gun and ticket people?
i was driving home from school going 33 in a 25 residential area. on ticket it says 43, but its wrong. anyways. i was driving down a hill at a speed of 33. and i drove down to the bottom to take a right. just then i saw a cop walk out from behind a pickup truck with a radar gun and he came up to me and showed me i was going 43. which is bull sh&*. then i looked down the street and saw two cop motorcycle bikes. I was not the only person he got. It was ridiculous. I’m pretty sure you can’t hide behind a pickup. Imagine if you were going 33 and a cop jumped out of a bush. with a radar gun and wrote you a ticket. Any clarification would help. I’m thinking about contesting this ticket, and if you find clarification please show me where it came from.
ok listen. first off
1.none of you people have shown your sources
2. hammer your an idiot i was going 33, do you understand radar guns, when you go downhill they dont take in the angle, so it appears your going faster
3. some of you idiots just post something to get points without actually looking for the correct information, so good job those of you who take yahoo answers seriously!
4. the least imformative answer helped more then the rest
You are a highway patrol officer seated on a motorcycle on a curvy section of Highway 1. The posted speed…?
(question continued)
limit is 45 mph on this stretch of the highway. You are monitoring traffic with a radar gun. The first exit is 3.6 miles up the road. Your radar picks up a speeding car averaging 68 mph. When you try to start your motorcylce to follow the car, it won’t start. You try again and again, and soon you fear that you won’t be able to catch the speeding care before it can turn off the highway. Finally, your motorcycle starts and you begin your pursuit 30 sec. after the speeding car passed you on the roadside.
How fast do you need to go to catch up the speeding car? What is your average speed in pursuit? Illustrate the speed of the speeding care as well as your own motorcycle during this pursuit (if you can).
