Ignorance is not an adequate defense. You broke the law and got caught. Maybe now you now better. Stop whining about it.

 

What, the ones were the OP states they are doing the wrong thing, then complains when they are pulled on about it forgetting the many times we all get away with it

 

Unless you are a cop, DA or such, then there simply far too many laws and regulations for an individual to be expected to know them all, and it is understandable and forgivable when they make mistakes. You know, like SWAT teams raiding the wrong house, and seemingly often shooting the family dog and or home owner in the process.

But you are right, John Q. Public, who has received no formal training on the various laws and regulations should know them all automatically, and its ok if our poor, over worked public servants make the occasional mistake, I mean its not like they can potentially ruin your life or cost you time and money, right?

NO this is what really happened!!! As you were enjoying a nice easy ride to work he was sleeping like a fat cat with a empty box of donuts next to him!!! Your bike scared the crap out of him so it was on from there.

 

Not true. Minnesota allows drivers to exceed the posted speed limit by 10 mph to safely pass a vehicle going slower than the speed limit. You can read the article below for the reason why. We've had this law for a couple of years or more. We can also turn left on a red light, after a "reasonable period of time", if the light doesn't recognize the cycle and change on its own.

A new law in Minnesota allows drivers to travel 10 mph over the speed limit while passing on certain two-lane highways. Also included in the bill is a provision allowing for stricter seat belt enforcement.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty signed into law this month the bill – HF108 – permitting drivers to exceed the speed limit by 10 mph to pass vehicles on two-lane highways posted with speeds of at least 55 mph.

Rep. Tom Rukavina, DFL-Virginia, said the requirement is needed because law enforcement isn’t as lenient as they used to be when it comes to passing slower traffic.

“In past times when you went to speed up to go around a car police officers knew what you were doing and they cut you some slack,” Rukavina told Land Line. “But nowadays seems most of them don’t do that so technically we have to change the law to allow for basically what has been a practice for most motorists. And in fact has been a practice for most police officers, but things have changed.”

 

The difference between myself and OP is that if I break the law and get caught, I don't whine & cry about how unfair it is. I accept the consequences for my own actions, like a real man does.

Obviously there are quite a few on the forum who have yet to grasp that logic and would rather cry like little girls because the mean old police man was picking on them. Grow the hell up!

 

If you're going to argue law with the police, learn it first. I don't know what you mean about "FORCE you to buy a federal product or service" but he's basically right. In Florida it's illegal to put on any exhaust louder than factory - same as most states.

Oh crap! Now I have to put my stock exhaust back on! The horror, the horror!!!!

 

When I get pulled over I ask why and take the ticket, you WILL ONLY MAKE IT MORE EXPENSIVE with time off for court,lawyer,etc.if you TRY to plead your case. The LEO has a gun,badge and JUDGE on his side!!!
