Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Make sure you wait AT LEAST 30 seconds
at a red light before turning right in Seymour CT. If you only wait about 10 seconds, you will get pulled over and have a HUGE ticket for "running a red light".
Definitely gonna send it in with NOT GUILTY on the ticket.
Cop said I wasn't stopped for a long enough time before I turned right.

Ask to see the statute detailing the length of time required to stop. Everything I have ever read specified that you must come to a COMPLETE stop to check that the road is clear, but nothing ever mentioned about any particular time you must REMAIN stopped.
Looks like you possibly tangled with a "Wyatt Earp Wannabe" who thinks he can make up his own laws as he goes.........
If he is wrong, take it to court and rub his nose in it in front of the judge. Then request restitution for his causing you to waste your time being there to defend yourself.

That's what I always thought. Stop. Check if anything is coming and then turn. He said I didn't stop long enough. The kicker is that he was behind me the whole time. Followed me to another red light (where I was stopped until it turned green wuth him still behind me), followed me some more until a stop sign and then pulled me over after I turned at the stop sign. This was about 2 miles from where he said I blew the light. I asked him why he pulled me over and he said license, reg, ins and "I'll tell you in a minute". He took the stuff and went to his car. Came back and then said why he pulled me over. My answer was WHAT? Then I get the ticket.
Total garbage.

I got one of those during a Troy ticketfest years ago....the cop had been at that corner for the better part of two weeks, and one day he pulled me over for failing to stop at a stop sign. When I stated that I did come to a complete stop, he responded that I didn't stop long enough. Got to court, was put in a room with about 30 other people, and somebody came in and stated that they were willing to reduce everybody's ticket to a nonmoving violation (I think it was parking on pavement).
Just a little fundraising activity, I guess

Yea, they have been doing alot of those fund raisers around here lately. Yesterday I was getting on the highway and there were 8 motorcycle cops lined up next to the on-ramp waiting for speeders to come by. They didn't get me but they had people pulled over everywhere when I came back through an hour later.
30 seconds is way to long to wait, if it is clear and you have stopped completely what else it waiting 30 seconds going to accomplish. It would just make traffic back up even worse.
