I got a BS ticket today, need help

[Blados 10+ year member]

I don't feel like explaining it but I got a bs ticket today. I don't even think it's a law. Is there a website that has a list of the laws or something? I have the ticket with the law numbers on it but google isn't working well. Suggestions?

Go to court //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif I dont see how you'll have to pay court cost/get in trouble for something that isnt illegal

you can usually at least get the fine lowered/dropped or something..take that shit to court, also right on the ticket that you want the officer who wrote it to appear in court...if they dont show up they drop it..at least here..also right before the first court date get it rescheduled..increases chance officer wont show up the second time.

Blados, call teh number on the ticket, theyll give you details.

Was it in east baltimore? They make up a lot of BS. I got a seatbelt ticket there, I wasnt wearing my seatbelt, not moving waiting in front of the restaraunt to pick up my cousin. Why did I get the ticket? Because the vehicle was in drive. Techinicality.

Fine I'll explain it a little. Basically there was a car sitting in the middle of lane in a parking lot. The guy inside is talking to another guy outside of the car. This goes on for about 2 mintues. I honked my horn once and the guy pulls up. I drive around him and it turns out he's an undercover cop. He turns on his lights and pulls me over. He take my license and registration and I sit there for 20 minutes as he looks throuh his police handbook. He comes back and makes some smart *** comment to me as he hands me my license and registration. I told him that he harassed me. He snatches the license and registration out of my hand and sits in his car for another 15 mintues. He comes back and writes me a citation for "Driver use of motor vehicle horn on highway when not reasonably necessary for safety". Haha ok, I can fight that one and win since we were stopped in a parking lot. The he writes me another one for "Highway use of vehicle excessive number of spot lamps." He told me that you are only allowed to have one spotlight in the state of maryland:eyebrow: . I drive a crown vic by the way so I think that's part of why he's giving me a hard time. So yeah.

ive been to defensive driving skool three times, it is against the law to honk your horn for any reason other than to avoid a wreck ... and maybe one other thing, but its stupid i know but thats just the law.
