6. “You don’t know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?”
If your goal is to piss off a citizen then that’s the way to do it. I would just as soon that not be the goal of police I hire.

Maybe it's a question of 'point of view'.
Most cops are used to the FACT that 99.99999 percent of the people they pull over for something, WILL LIE TO THEM.
As a driver, it is your RESPONSIBILITY to know how fast you are driving at all times. That is why the car has a speedometer and why there are Speed Limit signs.
Personally, I have had more success by just TELLING THEM THE TRUTH. One of the most notorious 'hanging' judges in the county let me off with a $100 fine (I was doing 105 in a 55) because I told the truth. I had told the cops and the judge the same story. I also told them I had been going a lot faster than 105 before I crested the hill where they nailed me with radar.
My sister was a City of Pittsburgh cop and her sector was a very bad sector.
One night she pulled over a car with a couple of young girls in it. They blew right thru a red light while my sister was behind her.
When my sister told them why they were being pulled over, the driver said” I am from the South Hills”...My sister asked “ do they stop for red light there”?
She let them go with a two warning. The first was always stop at red light and the second was dont come into this sector after dark again because the savages will shrink their heads if they catch them.
