Went out today, and got pulled over!

[mscat]

:mad: today was suppose to be a nice holiday. My son wanted to see the movie shorts in the theater. On my way there, I did see a white car, following me for a while, I set my cruise control on to 60 miles an hr. Minding my own buisness on the road driving, the same car comes up from a half a mile away from me, I look in the mirrorr, it is a unmarked police car. His lights are on from the little front mirrors . Terrific, I am thinking,

He says he pulled me over for speeding, I ask him whats the speed limit here on 269 ? it's 55. He proceeds to tell me I was going 71 miles an hr. No way was going that fast. I tell the officer have my cruise control set onto 60. He ignores me , asks for my information .

He gives me a citation anyway. I am pissed off , knowing that the officer was wrong, and wrote me a speeding ticket for a lie.

Not certain how much this will be, however, i know the cop had to have sped up to where I was to pull me over.

Yes I am going to contest the ticket, if I was speeding i would be able to accept the ticket, however i was not .

I am also going to appear as awitness to a domestic violence case, in Oct. Now this shit.

I hate my life. Can I just go away and fuckin disappear?

Hi mscat,

You already know my views on traffic cops from a earlier discussion. I can understand why your feeling so pissed about the whole situation, i would be too. I dont think its even the ticket thats upset you so much, personally i feel that its the officers attitude toward you and the fact the officer wasnt prepared to listen to what you had to say. (sorry if im wrong ) Good luck contesting the ticket.

We all hate our life occasionaly, however in answer to your question......

NO..... YOU CANT JUST GO AWAY, AND F*****G DISAPPEAR.

You have many friends in this comunity, who will offer you help and support in any way that they can..So no you cant just disappear, and nobody wants you to. We need you just as much as you may sometimes need us...thats what makes this comunity so special.

Well i dont know if that came out right or not, my thoughts today are all over the pllace. But i hope ive helped a little bit.

Take care

mscat: I'd miss you so I am voting too that you just can't disappear. I am a very honest person but in the world today, most aren't so every time I say something to someone other than family or friends, they always look at me with doubt. I get so sick of that. I end up plowing through receipts, contracts, etc. looking for my backup for what they are sure is nothing more than a lie and when I present my facts in writing, they still just stick their nose in the air and never say they are sorry - this happens all the time. And police, in most places there are many other serious criminal activities going on that they could concentrate on and I won't even get started on that. Good luck! Stand your ground for whatever it may be worth. I had a friend once that said she was so glad to meet me and realize that she was not the only one to have the problems that she had and we both faced them head on and both got bite several times in the butt by doing it.

Thank you very much for your support and replies. I was so pissed off about the entire incident, that I really had worked myself up into a frenzy.

No I can't disappear, unless I could bring my son with me> He deserves a mother, even if it is me. I try to do the best I can for him. Sometimes overcompensating , but he is my only child, and with his disabilites he does not have friends. It is a cruel world even for him. It pains my heart so much it hurts badly , to know my child suffers from mean kids , mean people, and those who do not understand him.

I must be strong for my son. i love him dearly. And constantly worry about his needs. He always comes first, always. Nothing else matters then him, in my life. Raising him as a single parent since his birth 16yrs ago, he is my baby.

Thank You Jj. You & I , I think we can be helpful towards each other. I will support you as much as I can. I feel your pain and sorrow , and know you love your babies. Your a great person, and YES, a strong woman too, I know you will do what you need to do to be together again with your beautiful children . Nobody can ever, or will EVER take away your bond and love you have as a mother to your children. Not being with them right now, will sopn be over, and I am feeling that soon you will have your children back , because they need you, and they are YOURS , without you , they are not whole. even though your not with them physically , you are in their hearts . They are you HEART. NObody can EVER TAKE THIS AWAY, EVER . No matter what!!!

I've experienced this first hand as a child, and understand from a early age that their is nobody like a loving, caring, uncondtional love a mother has for their children.

I HOPE YOUR FEELING A LITTLE BETTER NOW

You know, I can relate to this. I live in a large city where drugs and crime run rampant... The other day I went to the local store to pickup some fruit and dog food and to get home I took a back road through an area that is probably not the safest. I drive a fairly nice car and I suppose I stood out like a soar thumb.

None the less I got pulled over and it was raining and such. The officer asked me if he could search my vehicle for drugs and or weapons and I told him absolutely not, that I have rights and simply because I took a back road home through an area that is not suburbia that I must be doing something illegal. After the cops told me that I have no choice in the matter and that they would get a warrant that it would be better if I just gave them permission. Finally I said go for it.

Basically, they made me stand in the rain for an hour while they tore my car apart, literally tearing my car up to search. After them rummaging through all of my personal belongings and telling me how much trouble I was going to be in when they found the drugs they gave up and wrote me a ticket for an expired registration.... I have to renew my registration? The ticket was close to 200 dollars.

I mean, its one thing to be a good cop, and another to be a dick. Sadly enough, there are probably just as many good cops as there are dicks. Regardless, every single time I see a cop no matter how legal it is what I am doing, I always feel fearful... Always... Isn't that sad.

That terrible !!! :mad: DAmn cops making you stand in the rain like that? Searching your car , tearing it up, convinced their is dope in your car, whatever happened to innnocent until proven guilty?

I would had felt violated , and so enraged ! I got my home searched before. My son got into mediaction when he was very little one morning. I called for an ambulance, next thing I know it my place is being ransacked by the police. I was not there, I went with my child to the hospital. Yes I said ok , not knowing any better. However, I had no idea that was what the police intentions were searching my place, and turning it upside down. I was navie' back then.

I was only a single parent, needing help in a emergency, instead was treated like a criminal .

Cops can go too far , & their is no reason for them to treat people so badly . Guess their use to dealing with bad people, However I did nothing wrong. nothing was in my home either. A cat ! And lots of things for my child . One of my worse experiences ever dealing with the police>
