Default License Gone - cops like IS250

well, today marks my third speeding ticket in 18 months... guess the cops like the look of the IS as much as we do ---- this one was a b.s ticket though, i was trying the little electronics disable thing out in an empty parking lot, did ONE burnout and a little donut.... check the rear view mirror and a cop is rolling in <_<, gave me - Speed > Reasonable and Prudent... lamee

well, hopefully i can squeeze my way out of this..

You shouldn't have done it. That's all.

"Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should." You're driving a Lexus, not an Audi.

Good luck trying to get your license back.

And better luck with retaining the lesson learned this time...

Yea, there are alot of b.s. cops but in this case you can't really blame him. you shouldn't be playing around in someones parking lot and shouldn't be speeding on public roads. the cop is not to blame here. hopefully you learned a lesson from all this.

Had a cop pull me over once for speeding. I was in the right lane going "74" on a 45. Cop was on the oncoming side and had a glimpse in the rear view right when he u-turned had his lights on I was like oh ****. Slowed down to 50 and caught up to me after about 1/4 mile. Pulled over and he started walking towards my car and started sliding his fingers from tail lights to driver door :/ . Asked me where you headin'? Said McDonalds. He said, I clocked you going at 74, SLOW DOWN, McDonalds is gonna be there tomorrow. Have a nice day and left. Whew got lucky that time.

Good luck dealing with a bad situation. I'd suggest you invest in a good lawyer.

I dont know in the states but in Puerto Rico Cops are high school bullies which never get to be anything apply for a job in the police force and start gaving tickets and anoy people. Just a couple of days ago a cop pulls me over make a big show take his gun out of his holster and hit my window with his 9mm and yell at me stupid things and gave me 8 tickets. He gave me a speed ticket without the speed or even a radar in his patrol unit and i really didnt do any of the infractions he says i did. Im challenging in court for the tickets and open a complaint with the chief of police for his behavior. thank God my lawyer its my best friend and handle all my clients in my bussines.

PS. Not all cops are bad people but sometime bad peolple became cops. Its not my intention to agravate any cop in this forum but im just saying what happened to me!

Well so far for me I haven't gotten pull over on the IS ::knock on wood:: I did get pulled over on my tC for my tint...thats it just the tint. Damn CHP my tint isn't even dark its 35%...but it was a cloudy day so apperantly it look like limo tint to her, she had nothing better to do than to pull someone over for tint...I was even going 5 MPH below speed limit....Oh and it was one week after I got my tint on too.
