Just got a speeding ticket!

[Deleted member 813988]

I am not whining about the ticket itself, but police explanation why I got it.

Driving 40 miles in 25 miles zone - I agree, its stupid of me, even though everyone on that part of the road drives even faster because it's empty, straight and no cameras and I was driving with same speed everybody else on the road.

But freaking cop said it - I stopped you and not other car because:
- you drive a sports car
- its orange
- you have short number plate

Sorry, what? I really feel discriminated by Prius!

He is a cop and you aren't. Over.

This is correct, those who have more money should have greater social responsibility.

Sports car he said

Maybe he really hates orange.

Sports car he said

Bullshit

not even sure what that means

 

[Reaver]

not even sure what that means

It means if you have money or social standing - you're better off than us normies - you should be held more accountable for your actions.

I still think the cop just hated orange.

Or maybe a Prius felt up his mom once. Who knows.

My guess is the cop is not a fan of the show, "Orange is the new black".

I never get a speeding ticket, when I drive I like to do stuff like 55mph in a 70mph zone, 45 in a 55, and with 45 and below speeds I tend to do 5mph below

Not unheard of in NL, cops are known to tail luxury cars and sports cars to ee i they break any laws. hell they are encouraged to by their superiors.

Why does it matter? You were speeding, you got a ticket. Period. So what if everyone else was doing it. You are the one who was caught.

I've only ever had one bad experience with police while driving. When I was 18 years old, I had a cop follow me for several block. When I turned left on to a less crowded street, he pulled me over. Want to know what his reason was? Because he thought I was some 13 year old who stole his parent's car. After I showed him that the car was in my name along with my license, he said, "Oh, well, uh, just be careful" and left.

 

[datsunguy]

@Zwielicht you must have had a child like face, not surprised he stopped you though ive met some kids who definitely pull stuff like that.

It's not related closely, but my favorite cop story from the last few weeks:

Cops are always right, OP.

This is some shit right here.
The law applies to the poor as much as it does to the rich.
