Exodus Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Was driving down 5th home tonight and saw a cop blocking the wrong side of the road with his lights on just sitting there, I wasn't close enough to tell if there was an accident, but I knew that there were no streets before him to turn on to. So I waited a minute or two while traffic piled up behind me and some cars were just doing uturns in the middle of the street so I decided to take a one way on my right a block and turn onto smith place to bypass whatever was going on. Next thing I know, the lights are flashing and I get a ticket for the obvious (Driving down a one way) I asked the cop why he was blocking the road and he said "I was talking to a cab driver" Offence 2131.30A I could care less about the fine, but would rather not incur points for this. Worth appearing or should I just deal with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 You still broke a law... what stand do you have to take against that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 You still broke a law... what stand do you have to take against that? Very true, I suppose I should have just sat there until he moved out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 You still broke a law... what stand do you have to take against that? Common sense, if it was not wanting to get in the way of the cop doing his duties, and he can plead that the area was fairly deserted. He can plead no contest for no points or something.

TTQ B4U Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 This^. Doesn't hurt to try, anyway. Might end up pay court costs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Just pay it. You knowingly drove the wrong way down a one way, you really don't have an argument in court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkside Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Might end up pay court costs though. Most courts will add in court costs in waiverable tickets anyways, you know they are getting their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Go in and make a deal for no points for sure. Most courts anymore already have the costs included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
