Ok so i'm FUMED right now.
A couple weeks ago, on my way to the gym on campus, i was driving and stopped to let someone cross, after they crossed, i accelerated hard (wanted to clean out fuel injectors lol
)... SPeed limit is 25, i accelerated hard up to about 30-35..
anyway, about 30 seconds later i see the flashing lights behind me.. oh shit.
Cop pulls me over, and tells me that he pulled me over because i was driving at an unreasonable speed. ok.. No radar on me...But then he tell me he pulled me over because he had just finished writing someone else a ticket, and that person told him to go after me.... ANyway, the cop gives me a whole lecture on how he could be giving me wreckless driving, etc etc etc. He writes me a ticket for "speed not reasonable & prudent)..
SO this morning, i go to court. I walk into the prosecutors office, and all he will do for me from the 3 point ticket, is reduce it by one point, to a failure to signal.. my only other option was to go to court. WHich lets be honest, Cornell student in a BMW versus a cop who happened to be head of traffic safety at Cornell. I'm fucked. So I accept the 2 points and $180 fine (luckily because of my platinum coverage on allstate, no change in premium)
Eitherway, one of the locals who had about $3000 worth of traffic fines went in after me, he got away with ZERO points, and $200 fine. Now tell me this isnt discrimination?!?! I'm a college student, only in ithaca for 9 months, i'm from NJ. They dont like us i guess
We're in Ithaca.. the prosecutor was wearing suspenders like he was a NYC attorney, what a jackass
