how about chirping from second to thrid gear...are we allowed to do that? joke sorry

 

If your buddy got a Reckless Charge and it stood up in court then it was way more than a Chirp. A reckless charge means that he endangered the life and saftey of others when he committed his violation.

A chirp in itself is not a violation chargable by Law. People chirp for many reasons- bald tires, wet roads, starting on a hill, or you suck at shifting--j/k

If you rev your vehicle to the point it is obvious your doing it for kicks you might be eligable for a charge. I would have to look it up.

That should be some interesting info. I like to shift at around 4-4.5K rpm when starting from the light, that's why I keep the exhaust stock - so that it does not sound too aggressive. But I'm still worried that it will be considered "racing" (I don't race on the streets. That's why God created AutoX :twisted: ).

 

One night I was dispatched to a 911 call that came from a payphone. The caller said that he needed help and was screaming on the phone. Hearing that I went lights and sirens to the payphone.
Upon arrival I saw the caller (known mental retarded person)on the phone and he was yelling his ___ off to the dispatcher. No one else was around. I let dispatch know who it was so that other units could stand down.
I walked up to the guy and tapped him on his shoulder. The guy turns around and sees me in full Uniform with my cruiser behind me with strobes flashing.
He says "What the ____ do you want can't you see that I'm on an emergency call here". I had to bite my lips shut so that I wouldn't laugh.
I introduced myself (again) and asked what the problem was. He said "I need medical help" No Problem Sir and I had an ambulance drive up and the EMT's got out.
The guy ask's "Are any of you nuclear Nearu Brain Surgeons"? EMT's said "No"
"Well that's what I need because I need to get information out of my head", "I'm not moving to a Nuclear Brain Surgeon comes".
At this time my back up arrives. I told him of the situation and that he had to be the Brain Surgeon. My buddy said "No problem"
My buddy goes up to the guy and introduces himself as the Supreme Brain Grand Puba--no joke
The guy is doing everything my buddy said. My buddy then wraps his head with Super Secret Brain Wrap (Aluminum Foil) and then tells him he has togo to the Hospital for his Brain reading. The guy then went to the Hospital with no further incident

hey, where did you see that posted?

 

hi i was wondering if you could lend your knowledge for a minute i was on a major route stopped at a light the speed limit was thirty five at green i took off and the road does a sharp turn about a block from the light then turns back into a 45 mile per hour zone coming into the turn i saw the cop with his radar pointed at me it scared the heck out of me because he was in the meridean and at first i thought he was pointing a gun at me i had my two year old daughter in the car so i slamm on the brakes he doesnt call me over as if hes going to let me pass as i get closer and he sees my face he points me to the side of the road i have one of those hes a punk or thug type of faces so im very polite sir yes sir yes i know i told myself to slow down and he comes back from his cruiser wit a ticket it had three boxes checked off lidar estimate and something else i only know waht estimate is so i checked off the box for a day in court i drive trucks for a living to feed my kids and pay rent this ticket could be the one that takes my liscense away for a while is how can i go about fighting the ticket it was a 125.00 dollar ticket the money isnt the issue its the revocation of the liscense that im trying to avoid and why did he mark all those boxes?

 

Maybe you need to tell us how fast you were really going..

 

You can contest the ticket and go to court. When you contest the ticket (if it's like CT) you'll sit down with a prosecuter in Traffic Court and will be able to discuss your situation.

Your prosecuter for your state will be able to tell you what your status is as far as revocation of License. Tell the prosecuter that you drive for a living and that you can't afford to lose your license. If this is your first time offense make sure you let the prosecuter know too.

How fast where you going? Was it a Summons or a infraction ? It makes a big difference.

They may give you the contribution of your choice option like in Ct. You make a donation in lue of paying for a ticket. That way you won't get points against your license but you still get a little slap on the wrist if you know what I mean.

Ok I'll make this brief I got a **** in a cell and his ____ing me off.

(Chirping / Pelling Off)

14-80(a) Operating a MV with out preventing uneccessary noise CGS $60.00
140243 Unsafe movement from a stopped or parked mv (1-Interfering with traffic 2-no reasonable account for saftey)

(Tires sticking out from vehicle)
14-104 No fenders CGS $102.00
14-104(b) Commercial vehicles only With out wheel protectors $102.00

Yellow Reflectors ---Correction, it is a violation
14-96g Failure to have amber reflectors (front of vehicle) $60.00

ScionCop Chat you guys tommorrow I'm going balistic here. Cya

 

Hey, I know what that guy was talkin about with the reflector. . . at least if it is the same as the xA.

The xA already has a side reflector in accordance with the law. . . so I think you are talking about the amber lens in the turn signal. Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, in CA, signal and tail lights must be amber, and the law specificially stated that the the color may NOT come from the bulb. However I think you may get away with it, if you have have an orange blinker bulb and no lens, so long as you keep your reflector(the one on the front side bumper) orange. Legal, I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it is. . . but so long as you have some kind of amber reflector up front, you should be fine. However if you got clear tails with red bulbs, that IS definitely illegal and you will get busted if checked (in CA anyway). I want to clear out (break) the turn signal lens, but I'm not sure how to get the pieces out. . . and from the looks of it, it looks very hard.

 

Check this out. I am typing your info and working on a warrant in the report room. I hear this dude yelling and screaming from the cell rooms and it's driving me nuts so I finally go over there.

I ask him whats the problem, I swear I'm not making this up.

The dude goes "I want to make a ____ing phone call"
Reply "Well you made a call already whats the problem"
Dude "I forgot to tell my _____ to feed the fish and i'm worried they'll die"
Reply "You love your fish so much ha"?
Dude "Yea"
Reply "What about your _____"?
Dude "____ her, she can ____ing starve for all I care"
Reply "So what the fish do for you that your _____ hasn't"
Dude "I just love my fish"
Reply"ok, well your meal is here"
dude "What is it"
Reply"Filet-o-fish from McDonalds"
Dude "Oh ____ you mother ____er. ____ing die ----------"

HILARIOUS!

I wish I could be a cop. . . I think I have extremely good skills at diffusing situations and reading people(read:liars). But too bad I'm a lil too pudgy and I smoke too much (cigarettes). . . I would never get past the physical tests. :oops:

 

i don't think there's actually physical tests in pa.....they are mostly fat old guy on the streets....lol that's ____ed up man "filet-o-fish" HAHAHA

 

funny cop encounter...

i'm at the register at my supermarket job, ringing customers and talking to this kid about my box...he asks "that thing is soo square!!! how do u get it past 50mph???

the _______ that i am says "dude i can hit 120 in less time than it would take your festiva to go 60!!!"

just then the cuetomer saz to me..."maybe you shouldn't talk about that stuff with a retired state police offcicer" sorry i thought it was hilarious

 

Sorry for keeping that grief last night----was busy.

For the chirping situation. A simple chirp by itself isn't a violation. An Officer has to articulate in his report that you reved your vehicle exessively or chirped severeal times back to back, a prolonged burn out and so on to get the Unecessary noise charge.

Unsafe movement from a stopped position a Officer has to articulate that you interfeared with traffic or had no reasonable regard for saftey when you took off.


For the Tires sticking out of the vehicle, so far I have found no actual charge. The charges I posted above were for no fenders or Commercial vehicles with no wheel protectors.

Looks like this thread is getting some good reading. I hope you guys / girls are passing this information to your friends and so on. The more you know the better off you'll be.

I think this is the #1 active thread aside from the national commercial Scion Links.


Keep the questions and extras (Funnies) comming. I want to hear from you.

Your the coolest Eddie. If you find a box of Donuts on your Scion, they're from me.

 

Funny that you mention donuts David. We are playing spy games on each other with donut vendors in our area and just about everybody is in on it.

Vendors keep tab on which cops are buying Donuts in there stores (mainly Krispee Creams). Vendors / store clerks take names, pictures and video surveilance cameras are a special item.

We handle the information like if it were an Official Investigation. In roll call we crack on each other and post any "Donut Statistics" on the bulletin board. Who ever gets caught red handed is buying rounds on the weekend.

We have a good evidence guy and he's the zaniest of us all. He has crumb collections, vile samples of jelly stains, powdered donut finger print samples, crime scene pictures (messy cruisers) and so on.

It's a blast. Vendors are now trying to set us up by offering "fresh Donuts". They nabbed two guys last week with video of them eating the Donuts right in the store. We were laughing our asses off when the video was presented in Roll Call.

One day some one put a box of donuts in an interview room that had video surveilance. One cop wearing a mask went into the room and took a donut. We now have an all out investigation on who took it. The evidence guy is actually taking fingerprints and is going to compare them with our employee finger print files. This is getting crazy. Funny as hell too. No one is confessing to the latest Donut ****** and grab.
