Cops on your ass...

and it may very well be called that.
Look, if I'm speeding over the speed limit, please be my guest and bake me a cake with the words "you're getting a ticket" on it; I won't argue getting a ticket for something I should know not to do ....but for other IRRELAVANT reasons, don't.
I'm driving down I-10 today on my way to school. I'm driving on the far left lane (the fast lane). I notice up ahead there is a cop that had already pulled someone over. Prior to the approach, I notice a cop is driving behind me, so I tone the speed down a few notches and even cruise at 57mph on the 60mph Limit. Well, the lights on the constable behind me still managed to turn on. I see some fat ass blonde lady pointing at me to pull over, so I did as told.
She gets out and says "the reason I pulled you over was because you failed to avoid passing an emergency vehicle". I'm like "oh really? and what exacrtly do you mean?". She went on by saying that in late January of 2007, they passed a law that says that due to the growing number the deaths of officers getting hit by oncoming traffic and people intentionally trying to kill police by running them over, the Texas Legislature's latest and greatest law says that no vehicle shall pass up any emergency vehicle while it is stationed with another vehicle. In other words, if you see a ing cop giving someone else a ticket, don't pass the f*cker up. Hop your ass on the next lane over because your ass....will get....a ticket.
Not only did I NOT KNOW about this . As soon as the bitch walks out of her car to mine, a silverado passes us up as well while ANOTHER cop pulls him over. Smells like a scam campaign to me. Let alone the fact that she sent my ass to the NOT-NEARBY court.....she signs off on a court that is about 35 miles from my place, when there's one maybe 10 minutes walking distance. What a bitch.
Unfortunately I'm not a ticket virgin anymore. The only thing here is, I don't know what to do. Some people tell me to go take the defensive driving course, others have said that I am no teligible in this case. Either way, I'm looking at $160 for the ticket PLUS a bad ass $110 DSC (wtf is DSC) charge.
DONT PASS A ING COP. Even if you're going the speed limit, YOU WILL GET RAPED. It DOES NOT matter what you drive, or what you're doing when you drive. You COULD BE smoking crack in the car and STILL GET BUSTED FOR PASSING A COP!!!

Haha, wow sorry to hear bro... Actually I knew about this law already, I remember when it was put in place. However there is a bit more to it, you can pass but you do have to slow down I believe to between 30-40mph but don't quote me on that look it up first... You have to consider there are highways with only one lane on each side and the fact that sometimes you may not be able to change lanes...
Being you're first ticket you SHOULD be able to do defensive driving, again, don't quote me on that. Also being that there were more than two squad cars involved in this incident you may wish to consult an attorney on the likelyness you could pass this off as entrapment in court, all things considered you need to know how you intend to proceed before you show up at jp court... |

For $100 your tickets will get dismissed. All of mine were. |

| Pretty sure it's, Slow down or get over. Not "GET OVER".. so I think u could get this dropped quite easily. |

Not in my area, and if there are any and I have missed them, I think it's time for me to get a new prescription for my glasses. |

yeah but I don't see where they posted his speed limit on the ticket... so... can't be proven he didn't slow down enough. |

Not slowing down enough is implicit in the violation cited. |
