What To Do When You Get Pulled Over By The Police
Your heart starts to beat fast and you are not sure it is you who needs to pullover your car and you feel like panicking. This happens every time you see those flashing lights and see that ominous car pull up close behind you. It is a normal feeling and it usually only lasts until your anger supersedes your fear of being pulled over. You are not a alone. There are things you can do to lessen the chances of getting a ticket and/or getting out of the ticket once its written. First, roll down your windows and pull over in a clam manner. The open windows allows the Police Officer to see into the car and be sure you are not hiding anyone or anything in the back. Remember, the more at ease the Officer is, the better the chance he will not write the ticket to begin with.
So there you are staring at the most powerful person in the entire legal process in out great country, the Officer you see on the street when its just you and him and he has all the power and you have none. Just relax, he is going to first run your drivers license to make sure you do not have a warrant for your arrest and to make sure you are not some escaped axe murderer. Once he establishes that you are not a threat to his safety he is going to ask you what seems like a very innocent question, but its actually the most common way to elicit a confession in the world and almost everyone falls for it. He will ask you if you know why he pulled you over or he will ask why you are in such a rush. If you are like most people, you will take the bait and tell him you were speeding but not that fast or you will tell him that you were speeding because you need to get to the office and you are running late.
You now find yourself watching this person issuing you a traffic ticket. You feel helpless and don’t know what to do. This is the point at which most people make the second biggest mistake. They now admit that they did x, y or z and hope their confession will elicit sympathy from the Police Officer and he will tear up the ticket. It never happens. What he does now is he writes an extra sentence at the end that says in so many words “the defendant admitted to x, y or z without any provocation from the issuing officer”. In lay person terms, you confessed, case closed. If you decide to fight the ticket, the Judge will see this and you are as good as gone. But, if you are smart and follow the instructions below, you won’t fall for these tricks and you will beat your traffic ticket.
To win you case in Court the best thing you can do is nothing. First, when he asks you why you think he pulled you over, you should say, “no I don’t” in a very polite tone. When he tells you why he pulled you over, don’t say anything. Don’t say “I wasn’t speeding”. Don’t say “I did not go through that stop sign”. And don’t say “I am sorry, I really had to go to the bathroom”. The reason you should say nothing is you will NEVER win an argument with a cop. And worst of all, he will remember you. You want the entire encounter to be unremarkable. You don’t want him to remember you for being too nice, too argumentative, too sweet, too flirty, or too stupid. Just be vanilla, polite, and make the whole interaction as quick as possible. And for all you cute girls out there, before you decide to take the flirty approach, remember, most Police Officers have quotas, they write tickets for a living and they will take your number if you want to give it to them and see if you really like them by waiting to see if you call after you have been given a traffic ticket.
Now what. You are sitting in your car with a yellow, or white, traffic ticket in your hand and you don’t know what to do. You have a few options. You can pay the traffic ticket. This means you will be automatically guilty, you will get three or four points on your license and your insurance will go up. Also, if you get to many points you might lose your license. Option two is to pay the traffic ticket and go to school. The problem with this is two fold. First, you will pay the entire cost of the traffic ticket and you will pay for traffic school, and you will pay administrative fees and you will pay fees to the State of Florida. Second, you have now used up one of your get out of jail free cards. In other words, the next time you get a ticket in the same year, you can not elect school and the Judge will see that you went to school. Option three is to hire a real traffic ticket lawyer. Not some random traffic ticket clinic that just opened, but a traffic ticket team with a lot of experience fighting traffic tickets.
