take to court and show proof that its fixed ( pictures, paper work etc... )
alright i got a ticket tonight for equipment violation-driver operating(i only had 1 headlight, guess thats what its for), vehicle with unsafe/defective equipment, and equipment vioation no tail lights working. So... i dont understand what the unsafe defective equipment is. can somebody explain? and the thing about the tails is i do have tail lights, they just dont dim but brake lights work. so i need advice from experienced people if i should take it to court or pay the $116. please help a out
Your car is a bukket. Don't blame the police for giving you a ticket, forcing you to fix your bukket so that someone with a nice car doesn't smash their shit up because your brake lights are stuck on. Go get em Cyclops. :laugh:
ok think about this
your tails are not lighting up at all when you are driving, someone is speeding and its in a dark area...
they could slam in to you from not being aware that you are in front of them
thats how its unsafe
ive been on the highway doing like 80 and someone doing like 50 had their lights off and i almost hit them
if both of them are not coming on when you turn your lights on then chances are there is a blown fuse
so just go over all your fuses and see if any are blown
it happened to my car and i replaced a fuse and it fixed it
yeah, i was gonna be the ass and say something along the same lines...
it's not the cops fault for giving you shit about your car, that's his JOB, to make sure all unsafe vehicles are off the road..
and seriously? if your lighting situation was that bad, it shouldn't even be on the road at all... no matter what, NO MATTER WHAT, if you're "done" with your project, you NEED to have all saftey equipment fully operational... it's called being responsible... no wonder we get a reputation for bring "young reckless kids", the for the cops always fucking with us... cause of people like you.... i get profiled in my car, followed, cause i guess they're waiting for me to do something stupid.... probably cause of kids like you who do stupid shit... thanks...
fix your shit, pay your ticket....

fix your shit, pay your ticket....
you didn't ask my opinion huh? well as far as i can tell the title of the post had something to do with ticket advice....
if you had checked your shit for proper function in the first place, you wouldn't even be posting this thread....
i'm not meaning to bash you or anything, but goddamn... be smart, you even said yourself, you knew it was bad, but since there was street lights you thought it'd be OK....
jesus...
cops dont profile 240's dumb ass, they profile "sports" cars that are lowered, on rims, loud exhaust and a damn kid behind the wheel. cops follow me all the time, but after 5 mins of seeing ive got everything in order and i am more than capable of following laws they leave me alone. i live in west palm too, i have had a few tickets i thought were a little rediculous, for instance my license plate light was out, $90 fix-it-ticket.
if you are close enough to read my license plate your headlights will be iluminating it, but whatever man. you should know if your shit is not properly equipped, rather you yourself see it or a friend notices it when driving behind you. maybe from now on you'll do a walkaround on your car once a week or so

beside the kid behind the wheel, my car pretty much fits your description... as far as being profiled, they do the same to me as they do you, just kinda roll up, make sure i can drive my car, maybe even run my tag.. and then when everything's clean, they haul ass.... but it's cause of the "kids" that they do that in the first place...

OP, best bet, get your shit fixed, show proof, and see if you can get it either dropped, or a reduced fine... if you're stuck with the whole amount, well then next time you'll know to have all your lights functioning properly...
dude just call the clerk at your local county courthouse...it takes 3 minutes and they tell you exactly what you need to do! quit being a retard and asking all the others how to fix this...seriously just type in your city and type in courthouse on yahoo search and you will find the clerks number and do yourself some good and maybe learn something and call them
damn!
