But There Is Always Time For A Good Laugh
This is my take on an article by Gary E. Sattler
How to (try to) respectfully talk yourself out of a speeding ticket
There is a somewhat prescribed course of action which will help
"put you in the drivers seat" (You Are Already In The Drivers Seat - Shuftin) when it comes to escaping the wrath of the ticket writing cop and the traffic court judge.
The very first thing you must do is immediately accept that you have done wrong.
(You Don't Accept That You Have Done Wrong! You Ask The Officer "What's Your Problem?". - Shuftin)
If a cop flags your plates and turns on those lovely colored strobes on top of his car, speeding or not, you're caught. They are right and you are wrong. Yeah it sucks, but that's life. Signal your departure from the traffic lane, ease to the shoulder nice and smooth, stop your car like a good citizen and shut off your engine.
Your next moves are the most important. If you proceed in a manner which recognizes and respects the importance and danger of a police officer's job, you will earn a bit of instant credibility in the eyes of the law.
If you have sun glasses on, remove them (Eating Crack - Shuftin) and place them conspicuously on top of the dashboard (Reaching For More Crack - Shuftin).
If you have music on, turn it off.
(Hiding Crack Pipe - Shuftin) Leave your seat belt buckled, or
if you're not buckled, do it in a hurry (Squirming - Shuftin). If the weather allows,
roll your window all the way down (Grabbing For A Gun - Shuftin) and then place both hands on top of the steering wheel. Now,
what you accomplished is to send a tremendously powerful message to that cop which will be received before you two ever meet eyes.
(Time To Get Shot - Shuftin) You have stated that you are giving your full attention to the matter, you submit to the authority of the law, you accept full communication and you pose no threat. You have just reduced that cop's anxiety level by about 75%.
Remember, happy cops generally write a bit fewer tickets.
(Pity That You'll Be Face Down On The Ground - Shuftin)
If the officer asks if you knew you were speeding,
admit that you thought you might have been going a little fast (Admit Nothing - Shuftin). State that you were paying attention to the flow of traffic and ask the officer to please tell you how bad your speed was. You have now given the officer a chance to verbally chastise you. Sometimes, if a cop can scold you and knows that you're paying attention,
you will satisfy the officer's need to assert authority (that's their job, you know).
(Assert Authority? I Thought It Was Law Enforcement - Shuftin)
