So...I'm confused. Are there five or six police officers willing to disclose their identities?
These are pretty clear:

Iszlandsnow
silversvs
brash47
Diablo
scootergmc

Tom2?

Could I get all your real names and the various agencies you work for as well?
I'm thinking that by mentioning barf and my asssociatation with "so and so", I could avoid a lot of trouble.

Driver/suspect: "Hey uh..do you know Officer..uh..I forgot his name, you know that tall guy..dark hair..shoot what was his name.."

need help please

where: san jose - milpitas border (in a cage)

i want to make a right turn at the stoplight (mccandless/montague) however the only way for me to make a right is to go into the carpool lane. CHP guy pulls me over and as i try to explain this, he doesnt want to hear it - 'license registration'. i want to fight this ticket in court since this 'solo in the carpool lane' violation is $300 dollars and wrong/unjust. please advise and thank you in advance for your help.

btw- i appreciate everyone in law enforcement.. you've helped me on many occassions - good and bad..
 
gsxrchick as long as you weren't in the exit lane for a certain distance before you turned right you should be in the clear.... look it up in the vechicle code... i'm too lazy :)
 
I *think* I know the intersection she's talking about. And I think there are 2 right turn lanes and the far right one is carpool only.

I was driving there once and had never been there before. There were 2 turn lanes and the left one was all backed up and nobody was in the right one. So I think to myself "If these fools want to sit in traffic, let them" so I go to the right lane. All of a sudden there is a dimond in the lane and I look up and there is a sign that says the far right lane if for carpool only. By this time it was too late. Nothing I could do. I think it's also a no right on red but can't remember. I just remember sitting there nervously saying "come on... come on.... change.... come on....."

Lucky for me I did not get caught, but I still don't concider it my fault.

Is that the intersection you're talking about?
 
if that's the case then you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, enjoy traffic school!

Although I never have seen a lane like that, maybe you could claim that......
 
I assume this is what you got cited for:
21655.8. (a) Except as required under subdivision (b), when
exclusive or preferential use lanes for high-occupancy vehicles are
established pursuant to Section 21655.5 and double parallel solid
lines are in place to the right thereof, no person driving a vehicle
may cross over these double lines to enter into or exit from the
exclusive or preferential use lanes, and entrance or exit may be made
only in areas designated for these purposes or where a single broken
line is in place to the right of the exclusive or preferential use
lanes.

For court I'd take pictures of the intersection, and stick to the following law:
22100. Except as provided in Section 22100.5 or 22101, the driver
of any vehicle intending to turn upon a highway shall do so as
follows:
(a) Right Turns. Both the approach for a right-hand turn and a
right-hand turn shall be made as close as practicable to the
right-hand curb or edge of the roadway except:
(1) Upon a highway having three marked lanes for traffic moving in
one direction which terminates at an intersecting highway
accommodating traffic in both directions, the driver of a vehicle in
the middle lane may turn right into any lane lawfully available to
traffic moving in that direction upon the roadway being entered.

And make sure there are no signs leading up to the intersection telling you not to turn from the carpool lane.

Sorry about that folks.. I was attempting to attach a file to my last message.

Anyways... There's flyers that have been distributed to most bay area agencies regarding an upcoming ride which some riders and I are hosting. Any interested 830's and friends are welcome. PM me for more information or if you would like a flyer sent out to your department.

I'm still wondering why no one will answer this question?

Is a ultra-high speed stop automatically a "reckless driving" ticket if over say....100mph? Is it automatic arrest & off to jail? Where (speed wise) is the break point between a ticket & arrest???!?

100mph? 120mph? 150mph? 180mph? What??????

Lots of riders out at the weekend, some on their own others in groups.

What kind of things (other than people riding like a complete knob) are you looking for?

What's going to get a rider pulled over while his buddies don't?

What is it that catches your attention and how do you decide who needs closer scrutiny?


Thanks :)

Look into doing a Trial by Written Declaration. With your written account of what happened along with the photo documentation you should be found innocent WITHOUT having to take time off from work. You do it all through mail, the only drawback is that you have to pay the full fine up front, then if you are found innocent they refund your money. If you are found guilty in the written declaration you can THEN schedule a court appearance to plead your case again.

Do a search on here for it, ask the court mail you the papers for it, go to ticketassassin.com read up on it, with the broken white lines sounds like you're the perfect candidate for it!

Keep in mind that my answers reflect my experiences and my style. I can't speak for all officers.

Most officers (with the exception of those assigned to traffic details) are not specifically out cruising around looking to write tickets. Typically officers are looking to make arrests and take bad guys to jail. That is where the fun is in this job. With that in mind, you have to contact folks to find out if they fall into the "bad guy" category. One of the easiest ways to contact folks is through traffic stops. By seeing a violation and then stopping the driver for the violation, the officer gets a chance to assess the driver. Is the driver a wanted person, are they on parole or probation, are they under the influence, do they have illegal items in their vehicle or on their person, did they just rob a bank? A good officer will be using all their senses when they contact the driver to answer all these questions and more. If the driver falls into the bad guy category the officer takes appropriate action. If the driver is an average joe they get a warning and are sent on their way.

With that in mind, I'll try to answer your questions.

You asked what is it that catches my attention and makes for closer scrutiny. The answer is in the question itself. Anything that "gets my attention" is going to make me look at the driver. Loud exhaust, going faster than the rest of traffic, bright colored bikes, riding on one wheel, etc. all may get my attention. Once you have my attention, I do a quick "criminal profiling" (see previous post) on ya and decide if I want to make a stop or not.

So the best way to avoid being stopped is to just blend in with other traffic and not call attention to yourself.

If you happen to be passing by an officer assigned to traffic enforcement, then its a whole different ballgame, as you can be stopped for one of thousands of vehicle code sections. Keep your bike legal (lights, exhaust, license plates etc) and you have a better chance of avoiding their attention.
