As a patrol officer have you ever had someone talk themselves INTO a ticket?

I've had people talk themselves into several tickets.

All the time. I always got out of my unit without my ticket book with the intention that a good attitude would get the driver a warning. After they are through bitching about how they pay my salary, I ask them if they notice anything missing. When they realize it's my ticket book, I tell them that I'm going to retrieve it from my car now. They usually realize what they've done.

I pulled a lady over once for doing 75km/hr in a 40km/hr school zone. She told me that I "should be out catching murderers and rapists" and that "she didn't have time for this" and that people speed in her neighbourhood and we are "never around to catch them." She's tearing a strip off of me for her speeding!

I went back to the car to write the ticket and had every intention on reducing the speed and fine ( to fifteen over, no points 1/4 of the fine) because I reduce almost all of my tickets. She came to the car knocked on the window and demanded to know why "it was taking so long" and told me once again what she though I should do.

I smiled at her and said "Ma'am, I'm writing as fast as I can"

I set aside the ticket with the reduced fine and wrote her a new one for the full amount.

Yes, it happens all the time. I'm not big on attitude tickets, but sometimes if they want to be jerks, well I can play back.

However, in many cases I will just give them a 5 minute speech and still let them go with a warning as I originally planned...Showing them that I am the bigger man.

The purpose of traffic enforcement is to obtain compliance.

If someone refuses to accept responsibility, and is argumentative, I seriously doubt a warning would change their behavior. If I feel that is the case, that makes it much easier to hold them accountable with a citation.

As a matter of rule, I never tell someone they talked themselves into a ticket. No sense getting them even more wound up.

On my twelfth birthday I awoke and found out that I possibly must be hitting puberty. Bang! I hit puberty. Then I figured that i'm possibly getting to previous to accuse human beings of having cooties; so i desperate that I ought to start liking human beings as some thing greater then pals. My very final determination got here. ought to i like boys or women? i did not choose to be like various of those different rebellious 12 12 months olds who desperate to be gay, using fact I knew that they only needed society to look at them with disgust. They take exhilaration in being mocked and overwhelmed. that's what 12 12 months olds element approximately...alongside with the meaning of existence the different issues like that. ;)

People talk the police into writing tickets all the time. It usually starts with "What are you gonna do? Write me a ticket?"

Georgia Cop: "I'm gonna let you off with a warning. No one goes that fast through my county"

Driver: "Sherman Did"

Georgia Cop writes out ticket.

yes of course

and stars put on the ticket for the judge to know that the person was rude so that the judge will not reduce it for them

On a regular basis, sometimes I think they actually want the ticket...
