- that and the gearing making the speedo slightly off at top speed. im guessing that if you were to radar the charger at 160 (based on the speedo) im gonna guess it would be a true speed of something like 150-155...at least it tends to be the case w bikes and i can only assume the car gearing would do something similar...04-18-09 01:27 PMLike 0
- the idaho staters have modified chargers too so they really have some get up and go...they are bored over and opened up so they can really get on em...not the car to attempt to outrun...cuz they can keep up and out top speed a 600cc rocket.04-18-09 01:29 PMLike 0
- Here's an interesting one for any of the five-o out there. How can you legally justify random car stops? The constitution is pretty clear that this is illegal. Roadblocks are notoriously bad at catching the intended people.

When I go to Dullas Airport I see all of these cars with Diplomatic tags driving like they don't know how to drive. Can they be cited?

Also what charges can you file against someone doing one over? Can you lock them up for that?

There are those of us who work for "cupcakeville in Candyland County" and enjoy the **** out of it...Even the guys on here who work for the bigger agencies Austin, Denver, LA County...they love their Career Choice, and to 99.9% of us on here...This isn't just a "Job"
While I'm sure there are plenty of reasons to NOT like where you work, or what you have to do from time to time...I really dislike people (even other cops) who choose to look at our choice for a career as a job...
HOWEVER, while you're still a brother in blue, and just as any one of us would back you up if you came to our smaller "cupcakeville" agencies and had a problem, your way of thinking (which again I will admit to disliking quite a bit, however I still respect it) would get ya no where....
I have a lot of respect for your agency, and have a couple friends who work for them...Not ONE of them share that same sickening(to me) attitude as you do...

In that case, are we citizens meant to know and remember each and every law that applies to our county/ city/ state at all times? If yes, where must I go to read all those laws?
And if no, than how can we be held accountable for something we don't know and not be able to use ignorance as the excuse?04-18-09 11:23 PMLike 0 - As I know, ignorance is not an excuse regarding the law.

Or more realistically, as been discussed here before; I was under the impression that accelerating fast UP TO BUT NOT BEYOND the speed limit was legal, and now I see that some police would be inclined to pull me over for "exhibition of speed" or some thing like that. But honest to god, I would NEVER have thought there would be anything wrong with that. How can I be held accountable?Last edited by lalifeguards; 04-18-09 at 11:50 PM.

For example California just made this law in JAN 09. How did they ensure that EACH AND EVERY citizen in the STATE of California knew this law when it became active?

As far as speeding up to the speed limit, as long as your vehicle does not break traction (skawl tires), I know of no law in any state that prohibits how fast you speed up to the speed limit. If an officer does write you a ticket for it, its a chicksh*t ticket and they really should be ashamed of themselves for doing so.04-19-09 12:24 AMLike 0 - Good questions! You are expected to know the laws in the state in which you travel however you simply can't know them all as I stated. Many judges will give you some lee way when it comes to convictions on a charges such as cell phone usage. In the same breath I'll tell you that some may not. Many times it takes getting a ticket before you know what the law is (Stupid I know, but it is what it is.)

I really appreciate the honest answers. Thanks a lot.04-19-09 01:04 AMLike 0 -

And if they arent trying to show out for some reason or another, then whats the purpose of rapidly accelerating to the speed limit? You wont cut your traveling time down by much time at all. Just my 2 cents.04-19-09 01:28 AMLike 0 - Most of the time (here) when someone accelerates fast up to the speed limit and doesnt lose traction, it is someone trying to gain someone elses attention for one reason or the other. Most of those times (again here) its gonna be someone with a decked out pick up or sports car with a loud muffler. Now there are two statutes that covers that. Noise ordinance and the second is any aftermarket equipment not exactly like stock equipment is illegal. We get calls all the time about someone blasting their muffler up and down the streets.

1) Accelerate quickly (NOT ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT) overtaking the car to my left, safely pull in front of them, and enter the left turn lane.
2) Drive SLOWER than the guy to my left, squeeze in between him and the guy behind him (assuming the second guy lets me in) to merge to the turn lane.
In my opinion #1 works better. And because I have a faster than average car, it makes it easier.
I don't see how this is in anyway unsafe EXCEPT if the guy believes I am purposefully trying to "cut him off" which I wasn't trying to do.04-19-09 01:55 AMLike 0 - Most of the time (here) when someone accelerates fast up to the speed limit and doesnt lose traction, it is someone trying to gain someone elses attention for one reason or the other.

Secondly, I fully agree, equipment and noise is a different ball game and are fair game on tickets all day. I was referring to the actual act of speeding up fast. If there is anything else involved that is a violation then have at it.04-19-09 01:56 AMLike 0 - If I'm at a stop light in the right lane and I need to turn left at the next block, I can:
1) Accelerate quickly (NOT ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT) overtaking the car to my left, safely pull in front of them, and enter the left turn lane.
2) Drive SLOWER than the guy to my left, squeeze in between him and the guy behind him (assuming the second guy lets me in) to merge to the turn lane.

I have seen those tickets go to court and have seen convictions of reckless driving on it. Is it right to write those tickets? You say they are chickensh*t tickets I say they are solid tickets. You have every right to feel the way you want about the tickets as do i. Am I gonna be ashamed to write those tickets? Nope

P.S. Stock car, working muffler, no unsafe lane changes, and no other possible reasons to pull me over. Take that action BY ITSELF. Is accelerating fast a reason to pull someone over?04-19-09 02:16 AMLike 0 -

What about police departments issuing more tickets when the state/county/city is low on cash. There have been a lot of investigative reports regarding Atlanta and its corrupt police department.
