In Ontario I'm not sure if they would amend the ticket to reflect the correct limit or throw it out for a fatal flaw? Regardless they'll offer a lesser charge before the trial which is why you're best to choose an early resolution when you respond to the ticket.
Yeah, as long as you go in very polite and honest, don't apologize or cry like a child with a skinned knee, they'll just assume you're trying to manipulate them, just own what you did and you'll usually get let off pretty easy, here in Aus they'll usually drop it to a 10 and under which is about the minimum you can get. Same on the side of the road when talking to the officer, be polite and respectful and they'll typically lower the ticket to a minimum or at least a step down from what you'd be looking at.
In Australia you lose your license for 1 month for 25kmh(16mph) over, 6 months for 35kmh(22mph) over and 12 for 45kmh(28mph) over You can also have your vehicle impound for anything over 45kmh
modedchild you can only clear one point every 18 months in ca with TS=traffic school. In my case..... second tic was 17 months after my first tic. N i was not eligible for TS to clear my sec tic. Because of time frame. one point for sec tic now. 20 months later i was caught again. I did TS for that= no point for that. Just the 1 point from my original sec ticket. Now almost 36 months from that sec ticket. N the point about to fall pf record. /// then the cycle starts again.....lmao
Dropkick ThunderBook Here in finland you pay more the more you make.. Some big guy in Nokia drove 75 km/h in a 50 zone and got 116 THOUSAND euros ticket :D This was like 15 years ago. He had made 83 million on last year and got fined for that. PS: Do not drive fast in finland if you got any money! :D
Awesome vid. Love hearing other people's court stories. My worst, and pretty much only one was 83 in a 25. (It was late at night, not a good excuse but the roads were empty). Anyways, $1000 fine, 6 months no license, and escaped 3 days in jail by the skin of my teeth. All in all like $4k spent on that ticket! Don't get caught!
When I was 17 I got a ticket for 109mph in a 65. Luckily my aunt is a lawyer so she put me in touch with one of her friends who was a traffic lawyer. I guess it works a little differently here in MA but if you want to fight the ticket you get a "Court Magistrates Hearing". Basically you show up first thing in the morning sit around for 3 hours until they call your name and then you go into the Magistrates office. Inside is the Magistrate and a representative from the police department. In my case a state officer. After about 5 minutes of me pleading my case, the magistrate lectured me for about 15, then the officer for another 5. After all was said and done the magistrate let me off, I would be given no fine apart from the $50 court fee, no license suspension, or safety course. However, that was only if I my record stayed clean until I was 18, which i'm happy to say it did.
I second your advice chase. Anytime you can hire a lawyer even for minor infractions it increases your odds of you coming out on top. I've used one on a number of occasions and haven't had a speeding ticket since 2002. Keeps those insurance companies from gouging you on coverage.
I was pulled over for given a ticket for a 40 in a 25. At which point the cop wrote me a ticket and I called a lawyer and I'm cost $300 and I didn't even have to go to court and it was tossed out due to the radar not being tested. I was not speeding either. The lawyer called me and said things went great and have a great life.
$400 for a lawyer? Damn. I wish lawyers in Australia were that cheap. Basically, here in Australia, "minor" infringements like being suspended for half a year are not represented by lawyers in court so you have to hire a full fledged vehicular homicide/drunk driving type lawyer and you'll be expecting to be pay upwards of $10,000 for them to take the case. It's pretty shit. If I could have paid $400 for a lawyer I would have been all over that.
Also, I got a parking ticket for parking in a street where there was supposedly a building being build - it's 3 years on and still just weeds. I paid for it because I was young and didn't even know you could fight it.
im actually going to court tomorow for reckless racing and speeding. i was paced going 64 in a 45. but racing is the big one and can be punishable up to 1 year in jail in my state. and im only 16 which ruins everything. but this video is helping to cope with some of the stress.
I had a great experience the first time I used a lawyer for a speeding ticket. The one I choose was actually a Judge from a neighboring court system, got my 90+ in a 65 knocked down to 5-10 over and the fine like chopped in half. I never had to show up for anything and had i not used this person I would have lost my license for a while.
something you should know about the prosecution services: you can always negociate down your offence, they want a high % of prosecutions, if that means lowering the offences they'll do it, knowing the levels to go for is where lawyers come in :P
There was this one time... where this stop sign was invisible and i was driving my car a tiny bit to fast which helped make the stop sign more invisible, and the only other person on the road was an officer of de laaaaaaw. & She got me to pull over for some odd reason, she then gave me this piece of paper saying i had to go hang out with her on a certain day or just give her money.?! I wasn't down for just giving away money. So i went on the date to hang out but i brought back up because i was scared. My back up, was a large black man he sort of looked like 6foot4honda. I felt protected. Needless to say this wasn't an ordinary hang out. It was a big large room with a lot of people wearing suits. I was very confused. I then found my lady friend who invited me to this shin dig. She said she was happy to see me. which confused me more. As time went on i herd my name. An older man called me in front of him. I told him the story of the invisible sign and that i didn't see it. He believed me. He threw out the stop sign ticket.!! SIIIIIK- Then he asked how fast i was going. I had to tell him.. " Mach 1 sir".. [120km in a 60].. He asked why. the only thing i could think of is that my car had to stay over 90 because there was a bomb on board. It worked! He reduced the speeding too. I was so happy that i went to this hang out she invited me too. I wasnt going to go but im sure glad I did. im not sure why or how it all worked out but maybe it was the backup i brought with me. Needless to say, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS go to the hangout even if you are guilty or not. :D
The last time I had to appear in court was pretty heart pounding, got clocked doing 74 in a 45(it was a backroad with more fields than houses). The cop and the judge both told me I should slow down on that road since it had a few sharp turns, had to stop myself from laughing and saying that it's not that bad when you're used to it. The next time I got "pulled over" a couple other cars and I were doing 95-105 down I-15 into Vegas, hid behind some trucks with another one of the cars, the cop pulled in behind me and the other guy. Pulled out my registration, insurance, and license and thought "well I'm fucked this is reckless endangerment" waited and waited until I finally pulled away, cop apparently didn't think a Neon could keep up with a 370Z
I speed all the time and haven't gotten a ticket yet but I live in rural Minnesota and the cops only patrol inside city limits, the rest of the roads in the county are patrolled by one or two sheriffs.
Yep lol last time I got a ticket it of course had a court date it said to appear at but also listed locations I could go for court over the Internet. And they were HEB locations (think like a Walmart for texas if your not familiar) and I spoke to a judge and got my ticket deferred though a little video booth at the store lol.
Also, in my experience where I'm at right now, cops don't really bother with bikes unless they're blatantly breaking the law. I don't know how many cops I've driven by going 10 over on my bike and they didn't even move.
Lawyers are a great thing. Expensive. But great. I had to go to the station because I lost my wallet and someone found it and dropped it off for me, when I opened that door I was scared sh*tless. The officer asked for my full name, birthday, description of the wallet, etc. I couldn't stop stuttering, it was bad. I kept saying, "Um…" "Uh…" "Uhm…" It took me almost 3 tries to finally spit out a sentence that at least had some sort of significance and wasn't me just opening and closing my mouth like a fish.
why do you have metal bars in front of your hands on the handlebar, if you crash the front of your bike you think they could trap your hands between the handle bars?
Damn that's lame man. That cop has to realize that staying with the flow of traffic is important enough, but it's even more serious on a bike. Glad everything worked out the way you wanted bro.
This video should be titled, hanging out at Red lights in Atlanta! :) haha Jeez your at every damn red-light!!! You got hella lucky. I had to go to court when I was 20 because a dude hit me and totaled my car, the cop showed up and said it was my fault! I said WTF? I had pics and everything that he went over the yellow double lines. Sure enough they dropped it! I was super scared too but the other guy never showed up so they threw out my ticket. I have full insurance on my cars and bike so I just had my insurance go after the guy and paid my deductible. Court, hella scary!
***** yah buddy I was VERY nervous, I was never the in trouble kid and to have to go to court to fight the police verdict, wow. Of course my last name starts with a W so I was the VERY LAST CASE....scary as hell! :)
Zach 0_0 not everywhere, I had to goto court to plead guilty before i could pay it. I guess they need the court fee revenue considering i had 240$ for a 160$ ticket for 21 over
I got a ticket on my bike for going 74 in a 60 but he caught me when I was going out of range. Good thing... I was going 90 at one point. Haha got a lawyer and he got that shit tossed out and I didn't even have to show up for court. Lawyers are worth it!!!!
In Australia it would cost you $10,000 to get a lawyer for a speeding ticket :) I shopped around once before I lost my license for half a year. Decided it wasn't worth the money and ate the suspension. Still went to court though, got the fine lowered at least.
That's always a scary experience. I got arrested for doing a donut in a parking lot. They said that pastry sex is illegal in the state of GA. Who knew. Hahahaha. Ya see what I did there?!
I've only pulled over once but only because it was the first time I had my license and my bike registered. It was also my first time on my zx10r so I didn't want to risk anything but on my R6, I always hit the throttle when it was decision time lol.
nljoram3 I doubt it. I'm nowhere near as reckless as I used to be. I was an 18yr old squid with an R6. I've learned a lot about riding since then & abide by laws 95% of the time.
Join the National Motorists Association, and also buy two or three books that cover how to beat traffic violations in court. You'll be armed with much more information before you go into court. You can always get a lawyer like Chase if you don't know what to do, but in most cases you can get your fine reduced by just talking with the District Attorney before court starts.
I got a ticket going 73 in a 25 but I got a lawyer and he got it dismissed completely due to a discovery violation! Ticket was $411 and I only paid $250 for the lawyer!
If it was a plea agreement, that lady was the district attorney. She can make like "special" deals with people. Sorry if someone told you this already. Figured I'd try and help out. -Keegan *****
No problem! Stay safe man, I'm a big supermoto guy by the way. I just sold my klx250s.. looking to go into a 450 now. Put out some wheelie videos? :) *****
Just so you know, and this may vary state to state, but my laws dictate a grace period before the speed limit sign. When it's transitioning from a 75 to a 55, you must be going 55 by the time you pass the sign, but the same is true going the opposite way, when transitioning from a 55 to a 75, you can be going 75 by the time you hit the sign and not be charged. Granted, the grace period is only like 250-350 feet, or about 10 seconds. Nobody follows this law and it's an easy way for a cop to stop you if they suspect you're a drug dealer. For example, I wear a beanie that's reggae colors, and I was passing a cop into a transitioning speed zone, from 45 to 35. I was used to slowing down as I hit the sign, but the cop stopped me for 10 over, even though I braked to slow down, because he clocked me right before I hit the sign, but he was also close enough to see my hat. I asked him why he stopped me and not the person in front of me, and he said that the person in front of me was an elderly woman and wouldn't have yielded any excess charges. It's more lucrative to the state to stop young, devilish looking persons rather than elderly people.
Me and a friend was cruising around, ended up going to CycleGear, and then a bunch of bikes flew past us, and basically what happend was the cops rolled into cyclegear and gave everybody on a bike there a ticket for assumption of doimg 150+ in a 55. I'm 15, and I have an r6, and my buddy was riding his dads s1000rr and he normally rides a shadow 750. Everyone got revoked licenses, everything was impounded, and my ticket was balls to the fucking wall. We took it to court, I had my gopro on just recording for insurance purposes like i always do when i ride, and had EVERYTHING on film. I wish i had my mic setup working because that would be some awesome shit. Lets just say i got everything back, and the cops that dropped everyones bikes on the tow truck, was forced to pay for all damages and replace everything that needed to be! good day for me!
R1_Ramsey Very possible man. Shoot me a message about 2 weeks ahead of time with some detailed times and well see if we can work something out. chaseontwowheels@gmail.com
I must always run into bro-tier cops. I've never been pulled over on my bike despite going past cops doing 20+ over the limit, and I've only been given 3 tickets in my Jeep, but on each of those I was going 15-20 over and the officer wrote it up as 10 over so there were no points and a lower fine. I usually just get warnings though, one officer even let me off with a warning for 68 in a 45 just because I was honest with him and said I was zoned out and not paying attention which he appreciated.
Got out of a ticket in Ga, for the reason you stated. (cop put the wrong speed limit on ticket he put 55 it was a 65) The ticket is a court document, and he falsified a sworn court document. And the fact that he tried to argue "But he had an unconscious white girl in the passenger seat." (my now ex-wife) The judge was all bug eyed and says on the record "What The Fuck Is Wrong With You Deputy?!?! Case Dismissed without prejudice."
You get a ticket you pay it if it's cheap and don't go to court. If you think it's going to be bad you call your lawyer and let him handle and you don't go to court it's that simple! 😎
You got a plea bargain from the DA (district attorney- the rep for the state charging you) the cop as their witness. There are tons of ways to get off traffic tickets but when you can pay a fine and hide from the 'Point System', you usually do. you have 'the right to travel' therefore you weren't violating any 'law', speeding is a traffic code, can't be in court for a code only breaking law. Also the law is written, 'anyone not operating vehicle commercially...... for purpose of commerce isn't operating under the regulations of a drivers license. You're 'traveling' as a sovereign citizen.
Damn dude I'd have been banging on about profiling, especially considering the fact that there were other cars around you doing the same speed! In the UK it's the lead car that gets the ticket, not one random punter out of the 5 cars following it.
Got sorry, wrote that on a tablet. I'm stationed in Hawaii, and went to my first court date where they said "this is why you're here, this is your actual court date" It's in about a month. Sucks ass!
Going with the flow of traffic supersedes the speed limit. You could have had it thrown out. If you were actually doing the same speed as every one else. Which I doubt.
+chaseontwowheels I have court on the 30th. Lane splitting and passing a cop. Yeah I know.. so far I've payed $500 just trying to get everything fixed. lol so I bought your shirt to wear to court but it's not going to be here in time so I bought another shirt similar to it.
wow in Oz Queensland you would have been hit with a $379 fine & minus 4 demerit points.. they give you 12 points and then they deduct the points.. oh and if you challenge it and lose the magistrate adds a zero so its now $3790 + 4 demerit points o.O But here is the thing.. Some of the radar guns are dodgy and if you can prove it, you can win :)
Here when you have your license, for the first 4 years you have 4 points ... My friend lost 3 because he didn't stopped long enough on a stop sign. It's so fucking crazy :(
for me, as long as i show up to court they will most likely lower your ticket
In Ontario I'm not sure if they would amend the ticket to reflect the correct limit or throw it out for a fatal flaw? Regardless they'll offer a lesser charge before the trial which is why you're best to choose an early resolution when you respond to the ticket.
Terry Green
oh they will reduce pretty much any ticket :D
Yeah, as long as you go in very polite and honest, don't apologize or cry like a child with a skinned knee, they'll just assume you're trying to manipulate them, just own what you did and you'll usually get let off pretty easy, here in Aus they'll usually drop it to a 10 and under which is about the minimum you can get. Same on the side of the road when talking to the officer, be polite and respectful and they'll typically lower the ticket to a minimum or at least a step down from what you'd be looking at.
Yes, yes, YES! A Chase vlog! :D You need to takeeee it eaasssy with the speed.
Lawyers are expensive... Because they are worth it =)
In Australia you lose your license for 1 month for 25kmh(16mph) over, 6 months for 35kmh(22mph) over and 12 for 45kmh(28mph) over
You can also have your vehicle impound for anything over 45kmh
modedchild Our fines are huge here too, can be over $2000 for over 45kmh plus the cost of your car being towed
modedchild you can only clear one point every 18 months in ca with TS=traffic school. In my case..... second tic was 17 months after my first tic. N i was not eligible for TS to clear my sec tic. Because of time frame. one point for sec tic now. 20 months later i was caught again. I did TS for that= no point for that. Just the 1 point from my original sec ticket. Now almost 36 months from that sec ticket. N the point about to fall pf record. /// then the cycle starts again.....lmao
Dropkick ThunderBook Here in finland you pay more the more you make.. Some big guy in Nokia drove 75 km/h in a 50 zone and got 116 THOUSAND euros ticket :D This was like 15 years ago. He had made 83 million on last year and got fined for that. PS: Do not drive fast in finland if you got any money! :D
vilestine and the guys name is "Anssi Vanjoki" you can google him if you dont believe me =)
I feel ya man Australia sucks. my Homie lost his licence and got slugged 1350$ and the cop was a right cunt but thats just australian cops
Vintage C2W vlog! I know you provide a lot of different content and what not but seeing you riding and chatting awesome.
These are your best videos. Entertaining, informative, and super ADD. classic c2w.
Awesome vid. Love hearing other people's court stories. My worst, and pretty much only one was 83 in a 25. (It was late at night, not a good excuse but the roads were empty).

Ben Cleveland I've never gotten anything for racing, but glad to help cope man. I personally know how much stress it can cause.
i actually got the racing charge dropped and was only charged for speeding. lucky me!

Just went to court for 76 in a 50 zone. Got adjourned for 2 months to attend a dangerous drivers course before being reviewed by the court.
dude, all the voices you do are so funny! "that audio sound doe" 0:29
I speed all the time and haven't gotten a ticket yet but I live in rural Minnesota and the cops only patrol inside city limits, the rest of the roads in the county are patrolled by one or two sheriffs.
Here in texas we can do court in HEB through a little video booth lol.
Lol say what?
Yep lol last time I got a ticket it of course had a court date it said to appear at but also listed locations I could go for court over the Internet. And they were HEB locations (think like a Walmart for texas if your not familiar) and I spoke to a judge and got my ticket deferred though a little video booth at the store lol.
Haha for sure, I know what HEB is because I live in Houston. Dude that's weird as shit that you could get it taken care of at an HEB lmao. Good shit.
Also, in my experience where I'm at right now, cops don't really bother with bikes unless they're blatantly breaking the law. I don't know how many cops I've driven by going 10 over on my bike and they didn't even move.
Any info on a ticket for 105+ in a 65mph freeway. Empty traffic, California. La county. My court date is on the 21 of April.
That shirt's so awesome I have to get a short sleeve and a long sleeve. Way to go Chase...haha.
Been waiting a long time for this video Chase!
I bought the same mic adapter as you, but it doesn't work with my atr3350! Any help? It is for my gopro hero 3 white

Hey what year icon is that I can't find the icon in that color :,( would really help me out. Thanks
"do you know the speed limit here son?" lol
When is the big meet up??
matthew gordon April 25th!
why do you have metal bars in front of your hands on the handlebar, if you crash the front of your bike you think they could trap your hands between the handle bars?
was going 20 over on my r6, cop said keep it on the track. only gave me an impeding traffic ticket!! NO points.
The ADD is strong in the force...squirrel!
Usually put here if you take it to court it gets thrown out anyways, because 9 times out of 10 the cops are to lazy to show up.
It was raining and you were going 87 on a motorcycle? Sounds smart.
Sounded like that was the speed the traffic was going.. from the video
Damn that's lame man. That cop has to realize that staying with the flow of traffic is important enough, but it's even more serious on a bike. Glad everything worked out the way you wanted bro.
$430 ain't nothing, check out the prices for a divorce lawyer
I didn't know you stream on twitch man! I tried to find your channel but I can't find it
hondannyboy Link in the description buddy ;)
a have a question plz . does turning off the engine in red trafic light damage the engine ? ( i do it to save fuel ) thans for anwsers
It's going to slightly wear your engine but not destroy it. Idk how much gas your going to save. It's mostly for cars.
thanks man , appreciate :)
np
What is the cable going to the center of the handle bars?
Wesley Caneup It's a new camera I'm testing out.
hey chase, what's your cellphone holder? brand, model or where al can find it?
It's a RAM mount with the Xgrip.
This video should be titled, hanging out at Red lights in Atlanta! :) haha Jeez your at every damn red-light!!! You got hella lucky.

I have full insurance on my cars and bike so I just had my insurance go after the guy and paid my deductible. Court, hella scary!
NicheRiding Glad to hear you got out relatively well.
***** yah buddy I was VERY nervous, I was never the in trouble kid and to have to go to court to fight the police verdict, wow. Of course my last name starts with a W so I was the VERY LAST CASE....scary as hell! :)
I love the intro, It sounds so inspiring lol.
the fact you have to go to a court when you get a ticket in the US, is out of my mind.
you dont have to go to court . you can just pay the ticket. people only go to court to appeal the ticket.
Zach 0_0 not everywhere, I had to goto court to plead guilty before i could pay it. I guess they need the court fee revenue considering i had 240$ for a 160$ ticket for 21 over
I got a ticket on my bike for going 74 in a 60 but he caught me when I was going out of range. Good thing... I was going 90 at one point. Haha got a lawyer and he got that shit tossed out and I didn't even have to show up for court. Lawyers are worth it!!!!
In Australia it would cost you $10,000 to get a lawyer for a speeding ticket :)
I shopped around once before I lost my license for half a year. Decided it wasn't worth the money and ate the suspension. Still went to court though, got the fine lowered at least.
That's always a scary experience. I got arrested for doing a donut in a parking lot. They said that pastry sex is illegal in the state of GA. Who knew. Hahahaha. Ya see what I did there?!
lol! "doing" a donut
Sup bro, I ordered a Decision shirt but never got a shipping email. Will this shit seriously ship till after the campaign ends?
How much did you pay for the actual ticket without the lawyer?? Just got a ticket for going 68 in a 55.. First speeding ticket.
NEVER TALK TO COPS! You have a right to remain silent. Anything you say CAN be used against you. All you do is make lawyers job harder
I thought you always got a point on your license for a moving violation. How exactly did you avoid that?

Was that an m3
I've only pulled over once but only because it was the first time I had my license and my bike registered. It was also my first time on my zx10r so I didn't want to risk anything but on my R6, I always hit the throttle when it was decision time lol.
My ticket was about $185, 63 in a 40 and he stated I was picking up speed.
Natural selection coming up soon for you
nljoram3 I doubt it. I'm nowhere near as reckless as I used to be. I was an 18yr old squid with an R6. I've learned a lot about riding since then & abide by laws 95% of the time.
I have tried that "I was keeping up with traffic" defense before and the response was " well I can only pull em over one at a time" 👎
We need like 6 more people to buy shirts. Please make it happen, i want mine!
I'm 6'7 what motocycle should I buy ?
Gustavo Silva I would stick with the upright 650 class bikes. Should be easier to fit on.
what are you using to record with?
hey chase, I'm starting a motovlog GR Rider, any tips for someone in the grassroots?
GR Rider Be consistent, get your audio awesome and make videos about stuff you want to talk about.
sweet, thanks Chase! gaining an audiance I think is the hardest part so far, making the videos is pretty easy
NEVER get a lawyer unless you already have a history of speeding. They will let you off easy your first ticket anyway.
our courts dont work on any holiday lol..or weekends, or any bs exuse they can think of haha
Does anyone have any supermoto recommendations for shorter riders? I have a 30 inch inseam.
How many years you have begining the motovlogging ?
?
I'm french sorry
He began motovlogging in 2010 ?
Salut !! :)
Ordered! Love it paused the video to buy . Thanks mate!
Dollar380 Thanks man!
Could you try and get to ride a 2015 r1 or the r1m that would be AWSOME!!!!
Dammit Chase, stop that. This bankrupts the rider.
what kind of camera do you use?
Join the National Motorists Association, and also buy two or three books that cover how to beat traffic violations in court. You'll be armed with much more information before you go into court. You can always get a lawyer like Chase if you don't know what to do, but in most cases you can get your fine reduced by just talking with the District Attorney before court starts.
Atlanta drivers are more likely doing 40 in a 65 than 80 if it's raining.
I got a ticket going 73 in a 25 but I got a lawyer and he got it dismissed completely due to a discovery violation!
Ticket was $411 and I only paid $250 for the lawyer!
If it was a plea agreement, that lady was the district attorney. She can make like "special" deals with people. Sorry if someone told you this already. Figured I'd try and help out. -Keegan *****
keegs086 Much appreciated man!
No problem! Stay safe man, I'm a big supermoto guy by the way. I just sold my klx250s.. looking to go into a 450 now. Put out some wheelie videos? :) *****
I got pulled over doing 87 in 45 by a motorcycle cop. Recorded the entire stop. Check it out if you get a chance. "Yamaha R6 Excessive Speeding"
Red One All I know is I like your helmet in your avatar.
Am still to this day shocked your bike wasn't mistaken for a gun.
Just so you know, and this may vary state to state, but my laws dictate a grace period before the speed limit sign. When it's transitioning from a 75 to a 55, you must be going 55 by the time you pass the sign, but the same is true going the opposite way, when transitioning from a 55 to a 75, you can be going 75 by the time you hit the sign and not be charged. Granted, the grace period is only like 250-350 feet, or about 10 seconds.
Nobody follows this law and it's an easy way for a cop to stop you if they suspect you're a drug dealer. For example, I wear a beanie that's reggae colors, and I was passing a cop into a transitioning speed zone, from 45 to 35. I was used to slowing down as I hit the sign, but the cop stopped me for 10 over, even though I braked to slow down, because he clocked me right before I hit the sign, but he was also close enough to see my hat. I asked him why he stopped me and not the person in front of me, and he said that the person in front of me was an elderly woman and wouldn't have yielded any excess charges. It's more lucrative to the state to stop young, devilish looking persons rather than elderly people.
Me and a friend was cruising around, ended up going to CycleGear, and then a bunch of bikes flew past us, and basically what happend was the cops rolled into cyclegear and gave everybody on a bike there a ticket for assumption of doimg 150+ in a 55.
I'm 15, and I have an r6, and my buddy was riding his dads s1000rr and he normally rides a shadow 750. Everyone got revoked licenses, everything was impounded, and my ticket was balls to the fucking wall.
We took it to court, I had my gopro on just recording for insurance purposes like i always do when i ride, and had EVERYTHING on film. I wish i had my mic setup working because that would be some awesome shit.
Lets just say i got everything back, and the cops that dropped everyones bikes on the tow truck, was forced to pay for all damages and replace everything that needed to be!
good day for me!
TnT MotoVlogs That's great man! Another amazing example of what having your GoPro (or similar camera) on can do!
the higher cost now is worth more than the higher insurance costs by FAR
What Yamaha are you riding??
Fallen Wolf my WR250x
driving thru atlanta in early may, any way we could do a ride? I would love to ride my R1 around Atlanta.
R1_Ramsey Very possible man. Shoot me a message about 2 weeks ahead of time with some detailed times and well see if we can work something out. chaseontwowheels@gmail.com
***** alright I will do that... about two weeks out is when I leave this silly island. I can't wait to be back in the states!
I must always run into bro-tier cops. I've never been pulled over on my bike despite going past cops doing 20+ over the limit, and I've only been given 3 tickets in my Jeep, but on each of those I was going 15-20 over and the officer wrote it up as 10 over so there were no points and a lower fine. I usually just get warnings though, one officer even let me off with a warning for 68 in a 45 just because I was honest with him and said I was zoned out and not paying attention which he appreciated.
Motorcycles are almost always what cops will pull over, even when cars around them are going the same speed or faster.
you know whats funnier.
when a cop pulls over a biker.
who is a cop. lelel
***** Was that YummiR6 that drove past at the 5:15 mark in the blue Dodge Ram ?? (Think he waved at you)
Got out of a ticket in Ga, for the reason you stated.
(cop put the wrong speed limit on ticket he put 55 it was a 65)
The ticket is a court document, and he falsified a sworn court document.
And the fact that he tried to argue
"But he had an unconscious white girl in the passenger seat." (my now ex-wife)
The judge was all bug eyed and says on the record
"What The Fuck Is Wrong With You Deputy?!?! Case Dismissed without prejudice."
YAY FINALLY A NEW CHASE VIDEO!!!
Why is it that they always catch you when you don't actually deserve it? lol... Glad you are still on the road!
Hans-Erik Wittig Dude it's the story of my life I guess. lol
You get a ticket you pay it if it's cheap and don't go to court. If you think it's going to be bad you call your lawyer and let him handle and you don't go to court it's that simple! 😎
You got a plea bargain from the DA (district attorney- the rep for the state charging you) the cop as their witness. There are tons of ways to get off traffic tickets but when you can pay a fine and hide from the 'Point System', you usually do. you have 'the right to travel' therefore you weren't violating any 'law', speeding is a traffic code, can't be in court for a code only breaking law. Also the law is written, 'anyone not operating vehicle commercially...... for purpose of commerce isn't operating under the regulations of a drivers license. You're 'traveling' as a sovereign citizen.
No property damage + No Victim = No Crime
Crimes are broken laws tried in court
Speeding is traffic penal CODE, NO LAW BROKEN
Damn dude I'd have been banging on about profiling, especially considering the fact that there were other cars around you doing the same speed! In the UK it's the lead car that gets the ticket, not one random punter out of the 5 cars following it.
Another reason everyone on the road needs a cam rolling all the time!
Police the police all the time.
I actually just fot a ticket for 119 in a 55.....
AirForcedude5 Got or fought? I have totally different responses to your question based on that one word. lol
Got sorry, wrote that on a tablet. I'm stationed in Hawaii, and went to my first court date where they said "this is why you're here, this is your actual court date" It's in about a month. Sucks ass!
Going with the flow of traffic supersedes the speed limit. You could have had it thrown out. If you were actually doing the same speed as every one else. Which I doubt.
Wow! i literally went to court for my ticket 2 days b4 this came out... Ticket was lowered thankfully.
+chaseontwowheels I have court on the 30th. Lane splitting and passing a cop. Yeah I know.. so far I've payed $500 just trying to get everything fixed. lol so I bought your shirt to wear to court but it's not going to be here in time so I bought another shirt similar to it.
You were doing 87 in the pouring rain with poor visibility? Sounds like the copper was doing you a favour..
Sorry to hear. Gotta watch out though! Under 5 club.
Nobody else thinks you're crazy for doing 87 in the rain?
That trooper had a headlight out I would have gave him hell for that.
wow in Oz Queensland you would have been hit with a $379 fine & minus 4 demerit points.. they give you 12 points and then they deduct the points.. oh and if you challenge it and lose the magistrate adds a zero so its now $3790 + 4 demerit points o.O
But here is the thing.. Some of the radar guns are dodgy and if you can prove it, you can win :)
Here when you have your license, for the first 4 years you have 4 points ... My friend lost 3 because he didn't stopped long enough on a stop sign. It's so fucking crazy :(
QCPWONER2 Holy cow! Where are you located?
Quebec (canada) ahahhaha
the cigarette money trick doesn't work over there i assume?! :P
sjbali What the hell is that?
***** you don't wanna know buddy hehe, let's just say things go mysterious ways here in asia ;)
sjbali Its called bribing an officer. Which is illegal over here in the states, unless you find one of them "good old boys."
I lost my license for 90 days for 125mph in a 65mph zone I guess it could have been worse
