while driving though the school parking lot, i stopped at a stop sign, completely, and then when i went to take off, i let the clutch out a little to quick, causing me to spil up a little bit of dirt, this was completely intentional, and little did i know a cop saw me doing it, yet he wasnt in his vehicle, about 30 minutes later, that fucking cop pulled me over and gave me a 140 dollar ticket, this is complete shit, one of the most unsympathetic piece of shit cops ive ever seen. Just because i have a nice car, i always get hard times with the cops. but anyways, im going to be fighting this shit, and i need some arguements for the judge, so let me know what u think i should tell the court, cuz i dont know where im gunna come up with 140 bucks!!!
thanks

yup take it to trial...eh wont show up and if he does youll just have to pay anyhow...spinning out happens all the time...had it been rainy youd be getting one to I guess.

and this happened in a parking lot that MIGHT be flat just like flat riding does..but its not realy flatland relative.

Do you live in New Jersey? This sounds like a classic New Jersey cop move. I've been pulled over for doing 55 in a 50 before, then the cop lied and said I was doing 65 even though I saw him and he paced me from about 1/2 mile to 3/4 of a mile back. So I said screw it, I went to court and paid to reduce the points on the ticket. Then a few weeks over again, he followed me home at 2 am in the morning (same cop) when I pulled up out front of my house he started to give me this BS about taking turns to fast and how there are people out and its unsafe (remember 2 AM). Then he asks me if I'm drinking, I tell him I don't drink, and he gave me a sobriety test anyway. So nothing happened with that little pull over. Then a few weeks later he pulls my cousin over (same cop) for taking a off ramp to fast, which was BS because everyone takes this off-ramp fast, its hardly a 10 degree turn. So about another 3 weeks later, he pulls me over in front of my house again, asking me if I've been drinking. I told him if he gets near my car again, or think about flashing his lights behind me again, I would take his badge and his livelyhood. Then he asked me if I was threatening him, and I told him yes I am. Then I said he better take off before I go inside and call the real cops. Then he started to grumble and act like he was getting mad at me, then I told him If I call the real cops, and take you to court, the court will see that all 3 times you pulled me over was for no reason, and that to throw salt on an opened wound, the police station would owe me monetary dammages because of his abuse of power and harrasment. Needless to say he has never pulled me over again, and I don't really see him ever on that road anymore.
Ohh well thats my rant.

As for your problem, consult a lawyer. Because the officer in question doesn't have a video of your incident, he has no proof, and when it comes down to a cops word vs yours, tickets get thrown out of court. Also because of the extended time between the event and the subsequent pull over, the ticket its self becomes questionable, and the reason for the pull over becomes more of a vendetta from the cop, calling his motives into question. Again though, get a lawyer, you won't regret it, its the best way to stick it to this cop.

As for the person that says don't blame cops for your problems, come to New Jersey, there are some corrupt police dpt. around here, namely mine and one a few miles away from mine called Manchester, they are 2 of the worse as well as Wall Twp which is a few miles in the other direction. I have nothing against cops, unless they abuse power, and they abuse and strech laws, then they deserve what they get.

I like cops though, my favourite is when I see the videos of them pulling guys out of cars after a high speed chase, and they beat them sencelessly, I have no problem with that, that guy/girl could have killed alot of people.

The police here put the entire city on house arrest, even though no crimes where commited.

Even though our house wasn't damaged, we had running water, safe drinking water, and enough food to last at least three weeks, my brother was bared from our home.

Who the fuck do they think they are?
