[QUOTE="exskibum, post: 1387741, member: 383"] There is NO good reason ever to argue with a LEO on the scene. Even less to be a memorable asshole. I wont go so far as to staight up admit to the charges, but am always polite and sincerely contrite. Otherwise, I agree with everything pants says. I will almost always contest the citation in court,* however, and do the traffic school alternative if I lose. Paying a citation is one thing, but losing the good driver insurance discount for three years demonstrates who really benefits in this game. * In a jurisdiction where it is available (e.g., California), I contest the citation via trial by declaration first, and if I lose that, then Ill request a trial de novo, where the officer has to come to court and make the case via testimony to the court. Ive been acquitted in two trials by declaration, one of which specifically note the the reason was the officers failure to submit a responsive declaration. Why isnt certain, but if Id been a memorable asshole to the cop, I suspect his responsive declaration would have been more likely. I also suspect that when cited at 100 over, there is little you can do re: not being memorable. [/QUOTE]
