This might contain language


So I am driving home from my friend's house tonight and I come to a stop at a stop sign, see no one there and go on. As I am approaching the net intersection, a Del Worthington Gardens (or DWG or Del Worthington Gestapo) cop turns on his lights and crap, and claims I ran a stop sign. I apologized and said I thought I stopped. Well, DWG is notorious for there lying and bull**** and basically, they will pull you over for anything and claim you broke the law. If you get a ticket in DWG, you're screwed up the butt0 without vaseline because the judges don't care if your mom were being rushed to the hospital and you were following an ambulance, they will make you pay.

So now I got a frigging ticket, on top of the dozen other bills I got to pay off because some gestapo cop thought to pull me over for some BS crap. I am never entering that **** town again after I go there for my court. I will flip off every cop I see out of that town; and yes, they are known to try and pull people over OUTSIDE of there jurisdiction, one tried it to me once and I told him to tell me what I did wrong and find me and Arlington cop and then he can talk to me, cause he was not in his area.

sux

Move.

Oh no, it contains language!

Ha ha, good observation. Yeah, I think now you're obliged to deliver whatever rebuttal or follow-ons to this topic you may have in cuneiform. Or pictographs.

Actually here is what pisses me off:

I was driving down the road in the left lane, I approach the stop sign, stop, look and see no one around me and go. This intersection has no street light to shine down on it, so its dark on the corner. As I continue to drive, I make a lane change to the right. As soon as I make the lane change, I see the cop about 50 feet behind me turn on his lights.

Now, what I want to know is, if the cop was 50 feet behind me, and not even in the same lane as me, how he could see me "run" a stop sign when there was A.) No light on the intersection to shine down on me, thus making it more difficult to see. B.) 50 feet behind me. And finally C.) Not even in the same lane as me.

Did you actually come to a complete stop? Complete stop = you move forward with momentum, move back/shift weight to the back of the seat then move foward again (weight kind of bounces off the seat again).

Take it to court, but change the date. Chances are the cop won't even show up and you're in hte clear

Yeah I might try that, but, as I said before, DWG is notorious for this stuff. Last year I was stopped in the parking lot of where I work cause the cop was bored.

My brother was driving once and saw a DWG cop following 3 guys in a car. The cop followed them through another small town called Pantego and then into Arlington before turning on his sirens and pulling them over. He went through 2 entire towns before begining the pursuit.

While I was in the parking lot of the place I pulled into, an Arlington cop (where I live) pulled in and said to the DWG cop, and I could hear them talking with the window down "Where did he make the traffic violation?" because the Arlington cop was being sure the DWG cop did not see me break the law in Arlington and then try and get me in his town.

And yes, my vehicle came to a complete stop. Now whenever I drive through that **** town (face it, I am going to be forced to in order to go to some friends), I am going to do 10 mph below the speed limit and sit at all stop signs for 15 seconds before going through them, regardless of whoever else pulls up.

But yeah, I think I will try and take it to court, then change the date saying I got to go out of town. I can avoid DWG for a week if I really have to that way a DWG cop won't check my plates at a stop light or something.

MOVE!

what bas**** . That really pisses me off. Around here the cops are pretty nice.A buddy of mine gets arested a few times a month, usually for blowing something up. And they always treat him pretty nice, and they know him by his first names. heheeh

this sounds like a dirty cop story....

Here's an obscure fact, unrelated to this, that some of you may find of interest: A cop cannot ticket you for incidents that happen on private property. That includes any type of business property. I wish I'd known this when I got into an accident in the Wal-Mart parking lot. The problem around here is that even most cops don't know the law. If you ask several different cops about a law, you'll get several different answers.

Also, (and I don't mean to hijack the thread, but...), does anyone know if it's legal for cops to take money from an unrelated fund to purchase something for their police department? Because that's exactly what happened around here - the cops took all the money from our fireworks fund one year to buy a stupid drug-sniffing dog.

More like a dirty department. They mail out stickers to residents of DWG to put on there cars so they avoid pulling them over. I see cars all the time that say "DWG" on the back of them.

In fact, the road I was pulled over on was 2 lanes (1 in each direction) for like 20 years. When traveling down the road in Arlington, you have 4 lanes and then as soon as you entered DWG, it became 2 lanes. DWG never wanted to expand the road but finally did after Arlington gave them the biggest speed trap in the metroplex, Bowen Road.

A 5 lane road (2 North/South and a left turn), it's obviously designed to be driven at 45-50 mph, but they set it at 40 and have all sorts of areas to hide there cops in. If you go 41 mph, they will pull you over. Heck, I'd be willing to say if you went 40 mph they'd pull you over and say you were speeding.

On one side of Bowen is Arlington and the other is DWG, yet Arlington can not patrol it. I have not driven down that road in a year even though its how I use to get to work. I found a faster route and no DWG cops.

Flip them off for me too.

Save a spell check, use a dictionary.
