Cops don't need to show up for a ticket to stick they can appoint a representative. How did your friends get to the fight? I'll assume it was with you, after all they seemed comfortable leaving with you and I'm sure the cop would have made the same assumption. Just consider yourself lucky you didn't get stuck with both or you'd be at risk of losing your license. |
If you try to dispute it, you can end up with the extra ticket and more points, thus losing your license. Or you can pay off this one ticket, and drive like a good little boy to ensure you don't get any more points. |

He could have confiscated the kid's keys / license and told him to pick up up at the precinct. He could have asked if he could get his hands on an N sign within the next 5 minutes, from a friend etc.... Could have told the kids to find rides home / call a taxi for them, if the cop had a couple of minutes to spare. If he so firmly believes that the lack of an N is so dangerous, he might even help out a few kids by carrying N's in his squad car... but that's over and beyond his job. Who wants to do that right? I can't believe that you'd agree that it's justifiable to tow the kid's car just because he lacked an N. Quote:
Ohhhhhh noooooo logic ahhhhh nooooooo :thumbsup::thumbsup: Nice. thought you'd be more composed, representing the force and all.... Anyways, it's also called being considerate. The kid already got ticketed. Towing his car is just going to make him hate the police... then you have more RS kiddies who ignorantly say "fuck tha police." It's well within the rights of the cop to tow the vehicle. It's also well within the rights of any cop to write up a VI for any modded vehicle because well, he suspects the muffler opening is bigger than OEM. Do you get my point? It's not always about what you CAN do, there's more to it if you want to be respected. But who needs some young punk's respect anyways.. |

well, first if i dispute it, i wont lose my liscene. No i was not fighting nor was it my friends. the people who were fighting were random people. completely irrelevant to me. he crossed the N sign ticket out for me. That one doesn't carry points. the driving too many people does. Towing was a harsh move, but if his judgement tells him to tow the car than so be it. The reason i want to dispute is to not receive 3 points due because my excuse is that for my friends safety i told them to get in the car, yes it's against the law but its a logical explanation. would you risk leaving your friends to walk to wherever they need to go? I wouldn't think so. in short form -fight has nothing to do with me or my buddies -towing was his own judgement, although some of you might agree that was a good decision. -he was nice enough to cross out one of the ticket, but i believe it would have been a better choice if he crossed the one about driving too many people because of safety reasons. I don't mind paying for the ticket, money is not the issue for this case. -reason i didn't have my N was because it was on my car that was getting FIXED. I was driving my mom's car to the garage so i can do a quick swap. but i got pulled over because i stopped to watch the fight. -the PO still has my insurance paper even though i left him a voicemail. Didn't call me back. still mad that he didn't act professional on that part because my mom won't drive her car due to not having any papers. MAIN POINT: Want points to be revoked because it was for safety reasons. edit* THAT cop had a shitload of time. He kept us there for a good 30min-1hr. -in response to moomoocow in whether if he had time. |
1) Points won't be revoked unless you are found not guilty by the JJP. Have you been to traffic court before? 2) Your mom can go to an autoplan agent to have the insurance paper reissued. 3) Pick better friends. You have more issues to deal with than a petty violation ticket. |
thanks.. i have not been to traffic court.. than i hope he doesnt show up |

What are you going to do/say? |
And the Cop lets the kid drive away, breaking 2 restrictions on his DL and the kid gets into a crash. Now ICBC will not honour his insurance coverage and the kid & his parents come after the Cop who is now an accessory to the offence as an abettor. Don't think it won't happen. If I was a liability lawyer the Cop would be on the hook and out of a job. As the Cop I want to hear how you could excuse what you did when you knowingly broke the law by allowing the driver to leave. In the world of Policing sometimes no good deed goes unpunished. Ask any of the other Police here what happens when you give someone a break and it hits the fan. Nobody stands behind you, nor should they if you chose to disregard what you knew as legal. |
Oh, I love the Police forum... :haha: Especailly the high schoolers... Quote:
Yeah, real mature. Fighting is no way to get anywhere in life... and watching others do it is just encouraging the stupid. Grow up, kiddo. Quote:

Next time.. don't carry more than one passenger, and keep an extra N in the glove box, or carry one with you. This is really basic stuff.. how are you going to get anywhere in life if you can't take care of these simple things? By crying about it on an internet forum? :thumbsup: |
Jlenko I did say I'm at fault here. Never was crying about it. The ticket was handed out for a reason who doest know that. Posting on revscene was to get some legal advice andorge chances of getting away or lowering the penalty. Please keep it civil. Bashing me doesn't make your penis bigger Posted via RS Mobile |

IMO, young drivers need to learn how to deal with distractions in the car and not become part of them. |
"To this day I tune out my passengers and focus on the driving." Wait till you get married............:D |
are you guys serious? you actually think it's reasonable for a cop to tow someone's car because they MIGHT pick up more than one passenger after he lets them go? With that logic, all N drivers should get their cars towed because at some point during their two year "probabtion" they MIGHT drive more than one person. Or should we restrict N drivers to two seater cars and make them paint a green N on the back of them? that way they cant break the law and wouldnt have their cars towed.... Did he tow the car because he didnt have the N sign displayed? Don't think he can do that. the OP could have drawn up an N on a price of paper and stuck it in the window, since it can serve as a temporary substitute to a lost or stolen "official" N sign. the cop is in the wrong in this case, no matter what the circumstances were. Just because the OP is some kid in high school doesnt give the cop a right to tow his car for no good reason and make his life difficult... I know that cops can make up any reason they want to tow the car, but that would be just an exuse for their power trip |
Try reading post # 34. It may give you a prespective on how things really are. |
ya i read that post. and its the BS reasoning that i'm talking about just because the cop wanted to tow the car. like i said, all he had to do is make sure the 2nd passenger got out of the car and the OP drives off with only 1 passenger, therefore not breaking any rules. What happens after that, the cop cannot control. just like the cops cant control all the rest of the N drivers driving around with mroe than one passenger. if the kid did stop and pick up another person after he got the ticket, the cop would say that at the time he stopped him, he made sure that the OP drove off with only 1 passenger... |

...again Do you just randomly pull things out of your ass? |
so what is a person supposed to do when their N gets stolen? on the ICBC website it says you can print out a temporary N sign and then go get a new one at the driver services. Say the N sign gets stolen on a Saturday night and the person doesnt have access to a computer/printer. Are they supposed to leave the car wherever it is, cab home, and not leave the house on Sunday, then take off school/work on Monday and cab to ICBC then cab to their car? ...common sense, USE IT |
Quote:
Good point about common sense. Perhaps you should use your advise instead of being a hypocrite. |
I have done what you suggested and then sat back and watched as the car got loaded again with too many passengers and the driver drove off. It happens all the time. Soon as they figure the Cops are gone, it's back to normal. In a case where an N driver gets caught breaking 2 of his restrictions, what whould you figure the odds were that he took them seriously? I thought so. I go back to the question I would get asked in court and how I would have to agree that I was negilgent in preventing the continuation of an offence, where it has been already demonstrated to me that a driver chooses to break the law. Tell me how you would answer it? |
just pay within 15 days or w/e so you dont actually pay full 109, I think if you pay early its something like 75 |
its not the paying its the points. I understand why i got towed. No biggie, I had no time nor printer to get an N sign. I could have stolen it from another vehicle near my school but i'm not an asshole. I rather risk getting the ticket than make someone else take the blow. He did me a favor by crossing out the N sign ticket, but in my opinion, it would be better judgement to cross out the other ticket i received which i would be penalized for (losing 3 points). I won't be suspended, but it's not fun getting points when your just driving your friends to safety. Especially when he told us to get out of the park. (If you haven't noticed, me or my friends didn't do anything whether you believe it or not. We were just spectators.) |
LOL I love it when people have poor judgement sharing their ideas of "better judgement." Just curious, did your so-called "friends" at least offer to pay for the fine on the violation ticket because you cared so much about their safety? Did it ever occur to you that your so-called "friends" would sue you if you end up in a crash where your "friends" got injured? Did it ever occur to you that you had no insurance coverage when you were not in compliance with the conditions on your driver's license? |
