Got pulled over on my GSXR... Is this right?

[Sm0keN 10+ year member]

Well i have an 05 gsxr 600, my tires are practically bald and my sticker has been out...since 05... but not because of my choice, simply because of my budget, i cant afford tires right now so i wont pass regardless. Anyways....here it goes

Riding to my boys place, im almost there (like half mile), i passed a car infront of me, and a state cop was coming the other way, but wayyy up the road. I slowed down to the speed limit, he went past me, then hit his brake lights. Knowing what was about to happen, i laid on it... i get literally 200 yards from my destination and a very slow truck with a trailor behind it carrying some sort of farm equipment pulls out, into both lanes, and im forced to slow down. I got stuck behind him until the cop ride right up onto my ***. Knowing i havnt done anything i can get ticketed for, i just put my turn signal on and pull onto my buddies road. At the same time, he throws the siren on and lights em up.

He told me he pulled me over for my licenseplate and registration not being visible. Now, keep in mind that my plate ISNT in the stock position, but it IS visible NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. It is mounted high, even if your laying on the ground 3 feet behind the bike you can still read it perfect.

I got:

Ticket for no inspection ($107.50)

Warnings for:

- Not wearing gloves (never heard of this)

- No licenseplate light (it was 7pm,but still)

- Licenseplate not visible (bullshit)

- Registration not visible ("")

- Unsigned registration papers

I DO have a permit, i DO have insurance, i DO have it registered.

Is this legal? For a cop to pull a U turn on a public road, simply because he profiled me and thought i was doing something wrong? He then pulled me over, saying he couldnt see my plate, simply because i had done nothing wrong, and i guarentee he just wanted me to run. Cops here just have a hardon for crotchrockets. The first thing he told me was that i am being recorded both audio and video.

Regardless, i dont have the money to pay the ticket, i am debating if i should pay it, or plead not guilty. If nothing else i can go and appologize, and the fine (should) go down atleast a little bit.

Will i get points for this ticket? This is what im very concerned about, if i get 1 more point, my license will be taken away.

Any help? What should i do?

lol

1. your plates have been expired since 05 cause you dont have money, thats sad

2. you were speeding to begin with

3. you tried to get away but got screwed by a truck, too bad you didnt hit it

4. you obviously have a lot more violations on the bike judging from the warnings

5. you have numerous points to begin with if 1 more suspends your license

take it to court, i hope the judge decides to change those "warnings" into "violations"

if you cant afford a bike or car you shouldnt have one, he should have impounded it and made you walk home

by going to court to apologize you will pay more. Court costs are a bitch.

This dudes sounds broke as shit I don't think he can afford a lawyer.. HE probably siphoned gas out of his family's trailer to get enough gas to make it over his buddys house.

Can't afford sticker, cant afford tires, cant afford ticket. Can't wait till he comes around here crying about getting AIDS because he could not afford a rubber. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif :laugh:

Whoa whoa whoa....

Does anyone else notice any thing wrong with these snippets?

I hope you learned a valuable lesson.. when you think you can win always try to outrun the cops.

something i have a hard time understanding...why do we have to pay court costs to defend ourselves in court? so we have a right to plead not guilty but we have to pay someone to listen to us do it?
