ready for a story? oh ya. im not happy.
Drew (another busa owner and member on here) and I got together and did a little bit of riding this evening. We cruised around, met up with someone with a triumph, and chilled in cleveland pa-rousing the scenery downtown.
Now it comes time for me to split off, and head out. I leave the two of them, head back on city streets to the east side.
I'm driving along, going 40 in a 35, cruising comfortably. get passed by a cop in a cop car, lights OFF going 50-55+, which I may remind you is ILLEGAL unless his lights are on. I take note that its probably just some pig and let it be.
light in front of me turns red, two lanes. Im not behind the cop in the other lane, cop stops as im pulling up. He runs the light. with LIGHTS OFF.
I think- "wow, what a douche." little did I know.
I'm continuing on, another light turns red- the cop signals a left hand turn and waits, but edges forward as I approach like he will run another light.
I look over, he looks over at me (im without shades) and I give him a disapproving look and shake my head like "I know your just another pig."
he leaves.
I continue down the road, skeptically laughing about how he probably is going to call me in and get me pulled over.
TWO AUTOMATED LIGHTS are now in front of me (35 MPH zone) , I pass both going the exact speed limit. not a dime over.
1/8 of a mile later it changes to a 25 MPH zone. I slow down accordingly and am the only one on the road. I pass through the zone and speed back up to 35-40, in a 35MPH zone.
1-2 miles later im pulled over. Cop tells me I went through the 25MPH zone at 38, I do my best not to laugh and ask if the cop back in downtown cleveland radio'd ahead---- he tells me that they have quote "no communication with those cops."
writes me a TICKET for 38 / 25 as such, when I havent been drinking, shut the bike down, helmet off, and did absolutely nothing other than be entirely cooperative. no sarcasm or smack talk at all.
heres the cute part:
Hands me the ticket and asks that I sign it... I tell him I would like to look it over before I sign it. He says OK, I'm looking it over, and 15 seconds later he says "if you dont sign it thats your choice."
I say, quote: "aren't I allowed to read the ticket over before I sign it?"
he says, as he pulls the ticket from my hands, quote: "that boats already sailed."
hands me a pink copy of it and folds the rest. I tell him that I'm fine with signing it, if he would stick the pink copy back in so I'd have my signature on mine as well. he refuses to let me sign it now.
WTF IS GOING ON HERE. I've heard of Professional courtesy but come the HELL ON. After he had the ticket in his hand I told him about the cop downtown BTW, not before.
COPS, defend these backdooring, professional courtesy clowns, and show me that there are people in this world that aren't trying to screw over the innocent to make quota. such 6#$%$#!1242@%$#$^$#^&253242342@%#^#$$^
any suggestions, any info on what not signing a ticket when offering means, let me know.
I was told that If i didnt sign the ticket and they didnt cuff me, the ticket is null and void and it doesnt mean anything, but I fail to believe this.
HELP?
