    Default Re: Got 22350 for Screeching Tires (Allegedly) and 4 Fix It Tickets, Advice Needed

    If he said that it was 30 in a 35 and you can show that the conditions were not such as to warrant a slower speed, that this was perfectly prudent.
    The chirping is somewhat of a red herring.

    The fix it issues are easy. Fix them. Get a legal exahust, fix up the glass, and put the plates on your car.
    His point was that it’s never safe to have your tires chirp so that’s why he sighted me, can he even prove that? Lol I’m 100 percent sure I didn’t chirp them. I can’t do anything about the exhaust cause he marked non correctable

    I see this from a different point of view.

    First, I suspect your demeanor upon being contacted by the officer was not all sweetness and light as you portray. Instead, you decided to exercise your First and Fourth Amendment rights to mock the officer, play dumb, delay him in the performance of his duties and drag your encounter with him out for as long as possible, just to be an annoyance.

    By prolonging your contact with him in such a manner, you created a window of time that allowed him to see many more violations he might otherwise have missed had this been a shorter encounter. Having now observed these violations, he cited you for them appropriately.

    No doubt you think the officer threw the book at you. I would suggest to the contrary – that the officer gave you a break, in spite of you having failed the attitude test.

    Normally, breaking traction is cited at CVC23109(c), a misdemeanor. Instead, the officer cited you for the lesser charge of CVC 22350, unsafe speed. His point (most likely) will be that, considering the traffic on, and the surface and width of the highway, your speed caused you to loose traction and endangered the safety of persons or property, making it unsafe.

    In short, you got the poor man’s exhibition of speed, without being charged with exhibition of speed. He gave you a break. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

    Your problem is obviously your attitude. I could tell as soon as you described the officer's demeanor as "mad-dogging" you. When you are pulled over you politely say Yes, Sir and No, Sir, be apologetic and contrite and don't argue with the cop no matter how much your manhood demands it. Mouthing off to cops is what gets you lots of tickets. And, guess what, the judge will believe the cop every time.

    I haven't checked (I'll leave it to you) but if 27150 for modified exhaust, 26709 for material on my windshield, 26708 tint, and 5200 no front plates are "fix-it" tickets I suggest you get them taken care of and take copies of your receipts to court and seek dismissal, or whatever the procedure is, and then go to traffic school for screeching tires if you are eligible.

    He doesn't even need a reason to "sight" you. To pull you over all he needs is an articulable suspicion an offense has been committed. Observing the illegal tint, illegal window obstructions, or lack of license plate would be WAY more than sufficient.

    Even if things are not marked correctable, the judge may treat them so. Get the dang things fixed, you are just going to get repeatedly cited for them until you do. Explain to the judge that you've corrected them all and that your speed was not excessive.
