i got stopped by a cop

was all high on the good vibes. got to the school and a minivan is in the crosswalk blocking the sidewalk ramp. argh! wheres a cop when you need someone to be given a ticket?

i get my kid.. minivan is still blocking the road. it's raining. freezing cold. so everyone is driving crazy. theres people and kids walking everywhere. i can't see around this corner to turn left. a lady waves the "go ahead" wave.. so i go and theres a cop right there.

of course he asked me where my shoes were. :rolleyes5 then wrote me a citation. does this mean i'll need shoes?

 

You got a citation for walking without shoes???? Since when is that illegal? What a load of shit!

 

looks like i left out that i was riding my bicycle...

 

Ohh, I see. Well, still. That's dumb. Do you have to pay a fine now?

 

i don't know.. maybe i'll have to look at the thing. he set a court date.. you can't go barefoot in there.. or can i???

 

That's pretty damn funny. I bet it won't even get to court.

That cop's an asshole though.


A friend of mine was riding his bike around a month or two back when it was warmer, and a cop stopped him for running a stop sign on his bike. Cop was writing up a ticket for him, so my friend just looked at the cop, said "bullshit", and rode off.

Pretty damn ballsy of him, I'd say. Seemed to work.

 

I got arrested in nyc for smoking a joint walking down an empty block with 2 people this weekend, spent 20 hrs in lock up then got no charge

then today got a ticket for turning left between 4 and 6 when there was no one behind me or coming today

 

i just read the citation thing.. it says if they feel like it they'll mail me a thingy that says "pay this or go to court!"

jokes on them.. i ain't got any money!

 

I am still trying to figure out what exactly the ticket was for???

 

Sorry, did you get a ticket for cycling barefoot?

Or am I missing something?

 

Ya thats lame. I'd take it to court and see if that asshole shows up, and even if he did I'd fight it. Thats one of the stupidest ticket I've ever heard of.

 

too many people in the intersection.. no one going.. a lady waves at me to go first.. so i make my left turn and cop is there coming down the street at me.

no one remembers the rules of the road when it's raining..

 

Wow, that's crazy. I doubt I'd fight it though, you'll never win.

'you can't fight city hall.'

 

For sure I'd go to court on that one.

Cops never go to court on traffic shit. At least they don't here. They stopped paying them for their time.

 

gotta follow the rules of the road while on a bike...

 

Does the citation say exactly what the ticket is for?

 

failure to yeild at a stop sign.

which is bull, i was totally stopped, so was everyone else. i guess the light had just turned green a block away, because when i went to turn left.. there suddenly was a cop.

no point in fighting it. there was just too many people in that intersect, walking riding bicycles driving and i'm the one that got nabbed. .. gonna have to keep my eyes open better.

 

its cause you're a hippy.

 

the voice of reason!

 

they are out to get you girl...
I can't believe you are 31 from your pictures... lol.... you look like 16 gurl !
