Ryan218 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 ok so driving a friends car i got a reckless ops ticket. now. the officer is claiming i was revving my engine and burning out. here is what i did. i pulled out of my parking spot. stopped at cross section of my school parking lot. then pulled out and stayed in first gear and gentle till the rpms were higher. then shifted and straight to 4th. stopped at end of parking lot. pulled out onto main road and hear tires squealing behind me.( officer came flying through the parking lot atleast going 40 at the minimum. he should be the one with a reckless ops ticket imo.) lights and all so i pull over. he walks up and gose that was the stupidest thing ive ever seen. no i DID NOT burnout, squeal the tires nor was i doing 50+ mph in a SCHOOL parking lot like he claims i was. there are NO burnout marks where i was. now this was in a mustang GT with a h pipe and borla cat back so its LOUD. i cant tell you how many time people have screamed slow down asshole to me when i drive this thing even going 5mph in a parking lot. it just sounds like your haulin ass. i want to get a laywer for this becasue i DO NOT want to lose my licence because of this when i did not do what he states i did. there is no law that requires me to shift or states what gear i have to be in so i think this is BS. his exact words. ( when my mom called and talked to him ) i was impressed with how well it handled since you didnt go side ways. my thought..yeah.. i wasn't sideways because i was not burning out, peeling out or anything of that nature. 4511.20 is the code i was cited with. other then that just says reckless opps. now also. he wrote down on the citation the year of the car wrong. anyways. i want a lawyer. anyone on here got one of these? i have questions. if anyone can point me in the direction of a good lawyer id appreciate it.

thorne Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I thought you could not get a Wreckless on private property I'm prolly wrong. I mean if he wrote the info wrong you should be able to get out of it I would think if you truly were not duing burn outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 He could've written down the color of the car wrong, that wont help you out. Your best best is to goto court for your initial hearing and plead not guilty. This will give you a continuance. Then get you a lawyer and they will work their magic to get the ticket dropped to a lesser charge. Your not going to get out of it completely cause the system still wants their money. You will just get a lesser charge. I got a speeding charge and the cop came to court and told the judge "I seen Mr. Moores silver honda coming up the on ramp" I raised my hand and politely explained to the judge that "there was no way he saw my silver car coming up the ramp because my car is black" the judge told me that was irrelevant. This happened when I was 17 btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Nice.... You dont need a laywer. Use one of your parents. For those suggesting a lawyer because of whatever reasons...I represented myself on a drag racing case and had it dismissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm not calling you out as a liar, but dude, honestly, something isn't right with your story. who the hell slowly winds out a mustang like you described. that's like saying you've never jerked off but enjoy getting morning wood....just doesn't make sense. I can see you getting hassled by a cop given the situation, but a WO????? ok go for it bud. i stayed in first gear and wound it out slowly. no on it at all. i was beside the stadium which is brick so i know that didn't help the noise level. i did not burnout. nor was i going 50. bad assumption on his part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 You'll lose your license regardless. You won't be able to get out of it. It's sad, but true. A 16 year old kid verus a police officer, you'll always lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
