Got a ticket today

[Elhuero]

Got nabbed by CSPD westbound on Platte ave, just past the bridges before wahsatch.

After he asked me for my licence and registration I informed him I had a ccw and was armed. He asked to see the permit, then gave it right back before returning to the squadcar.

Clocked me at 49 in a 35, he wrote me up for 44 reducing it to a one point violation. Said they were patrolling that stretch because a kid had gotten hit there recently.

All in all it was a smooth transaction, the officer thanked me for being upfront about being armed.

sucks about the ticket but seems like the officer was decent

See not all cops are bad...

Some might actually be really cool with you

CSPD/El Paso County on the whole likes responsible armed citizens.

at least he was cool about the whole thing. he did his job, you were speeding, got to pay a ticket for it and all things went pretty smooth.

glad he dropped it down for you, that was cool of him

Now ^^ that is how it's supposed to happen! (And he really was extra generous in the speed reduction, but isnt that fraud when written on an official document? (Not that I know ANYONE who would resist it!!!)

You know, I have some serious issues with 2 of the 3 officers I had my encouner with last week, but all in all, I still have faith in most LEO's.

I got bagged for speeding just a few minutes ago. Still super pissed off about it. 10-19 over and "Passing on the right when not permitted", $275 and 4 points on my license. Apparently if you contest the ticket, it's 8 points on your license -- how is that legit, to dissuade people from protesting it they reduce the points if you don't?

Should speeding be a crime? What about hitting someone else?

I really am in the mood to break some stuff.

That's not true. 10-19 is a 4 point ticket, they will likely reduce it for you, but if you contest it, you run the risk of having to take the full points. The officer just bumbled up trying to explain that to you.
