I no shit just got a ticket for jaywalking

Recommended Posts

Seriously. 9pm, street's almost empty (no traffic to be seen at least) I even crossed at the crosswalk. It was one of those crosswalks in the middle of the block deal. He claims the light was green while I was in the street. Seriously... these dipshits have nothing better to do?

Hopefully he works the evenings on a regular basis and I get an early morning court date - I work 2 blocks from the courthouse, I'll fight it just for giggles.

fight fight fight. you will win. question the officer if he looked at the calibration of the lights....
"so, officer, did you check to see if the lights were calibrated properly? no? so exactly how do you know that the light was green when i was in the intersection?"

As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

Are you now too broke to come jump Sunday? :P

As for the ticket ask the officer if he could hold your hand while crossing the street since you are not allowed to cross the street alone yet. :D

One of Jen and mine's trips to Florida we witnessed a jaywalker getting hit by a passing car. Not pretty as all the other cars just kept going.

Years ago almost as soon as I had moved out West hidden police-Stasi's from the wonderful Village of Westwood, CA awarded me 2 jaywalking tickets within, like, a week for crossing empty boulevards. That should have been my cue to pull up stakes immediately and acknowledge the sad forelorn socialist reality that remains the Peoples (Democratic) Republic of Ka-lee-forn-ication. It took a few years, but even I realized "God what a mess it is," got out of that place and saved my soul.

Can you feel the sympathy yet?


No.... no one has given me ((((((VIBES))))) yet :(

This has got to be the stupidest thing ever. They were handing them out left and right to people NOT crossing at the crosswalks - I saw at least 4 other people getting tickets too. That I can almost understand. But I was crossing at an actual crosswalk. Ya know, if the light turned green or something and that's a 'bad thing' then give me a warning.

Depends... I have to call tomorrow to find out what the fine is. If it's more than $15-20, I'm going to court for it. That's just stupid.

I know this place is fucked beyond hope, but this one takes the cake.

You really should've taken the picture of the cops doing the exact same thing they ticketed you for 2 minutes after they wrote the ticket...

You can call him one behind his back why cant you do it to his face?


I would, just not in court. Trust me, if I see him outside of court, after my court date, I will let him know exactly what I think about a glorified rent-a-cop handing out 20-30 $70 jaywalking tickets to a bunch of college students at 9:00 at night on a deserted street..... sir.

I hope that you are given a life sentence so that you can mull over your insane criminal behavoir. Your kind cannot and should not be tolorated. If I were the judge, I would order a severe caning across your chest so you could see it coming.>:(
