Letter apologizing... *proof read for me*

[BLOWN PONY]

When I got my ticket I was leaving the drag trip, I got into it with a Civic, and got pulled. He did not catch us racing, but he knew we were.
I had a buddy in the car, who was cussing the other car, not the L.E.O.!
I don't know if he took it the wrong way, or just wants to stick it to me as hard as possible, but he will not budge on the ticket. I really did not do anything out of the way to him. I actually was as compliant as I could be!
I am not complaining, just confused. I know I deserved a ticket, but why would he want a letter apologizing instead of just standing strong?

It has been continued 3 times I think, but still he will not allow the court to lower the speed.
The last time it was continued he requested my lawyer to get me to write a letter apologizing.
So... I am thinking about sending this in, what do you think? Is it good? Is that what he wants to hear?

I am open for all comments!
I don't think I am violating any Donut Shop rules, but if so; I would be glad to edit my post.


Dear Officer Basinger,

I am writing you this letter to sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience or undue stress I have caused you regarding my ticket
issued _____________.
I regret any disrespectful actions or words directed towards you, or
accompanying officers.
I would also like to apologize for my passenger Jeremy Hurlocker. As
you might remember, he was aggravated with the other car driver involved
in the incident.
I believe his frustration might have come across in a way that seemed
directed towards you. It was not.
As I’m sure you know, young men and women in there early 20's tend to
react out of passion rather than thought. I believe this was one of
those times.
I truly have learned a lesson in life with this experience; fast cars
are meant to go fast in appropriate places!

I can promise you this: you will never see me in court for a similar
instance!

My father once told me, “You never fire, hire, or dump a girl in the
heat of the moment.”
I have lived by this for the last few years, and believe disrespecting
an authority figure should be added to this list.



Sincerely,

Highly recommend you put that through a spell check / grammar check and repost it for proof reading

^^^ I have to hand write it all anyway.
This is more just about am I on the right track as far as the thought process.

 

[WDW MKR]

What was the ticket for?

 

[BLOWN PONY]

^^^ Speeding is all, 76 in a 55 I think it was.

 

[99boltsvt]

I don't see where he can MAKE you write this letter. I may be wrong though....

 

[RedfireVNM]

You can speed with a GT? Who knew :shrug: JK I think that letter sounds about right

 

[WTF]

He’s forcing you to write a letter to apologize? :dw:

What's next? 100 sentences on the chalk board, "I will not speed in public?"

Something tells me you don't need to do this...

 

[BLOWN PONY]

^^^ All I know is I got a letter in the mail from my lawyer saying I need to write a letter apologizing to the Officer...
I thought it was lame too, but I am not aloud to voice my opinion in this fourm...

Just so you know, sometimes a letter of apology is all some officers look for. Send it in. It sounds really good. If he gets it,is happy with it, he may not show up in court and your ticket will get dismissed. Or he will ask the judge to dismiss it. Some officers just act tough to try to make you understand what you were doing was wrong. He is not going to tell you that he will dismiss it if you send the letter in.Is it normal or right for him to ask this...maybe, maybe not. I would assume he was courteous. As a police officer myself I can tell you that we get training in many aspects of law enforcement and interpersonal skills which teach you how to deal with the public but understand that no training in the world will change someones personality.If in your opinion this officer was less than courteous I ask that you understand that not all are the same. Some officers give others a bad rap. Good luck with the ticket. Send the letter in. It might work to your benefit. Be safe.

You are allowed to voice your opinion as long as it doesnt violate the guidelines.

BTW, if you dont like the rules of this forum, you can stop posting here.:bash:

hahah that was pretty good. :lol:

I'd just pay the ticket and not write the letter just to spite him.

 

[spinscan]

Write the letter. Follow the advice of your lawyer.

 

[JohninMD]

A long time ago I got into a lot of trouble in Florida. Under my plea agreement I was supposed to have hand-written an apology to one of the cops. The judge threw that out. He said if he had forced me to make an apology it was not sincere, but if I did it on my own accord it would actually mean something.

 

[nckissfan]

the letter sounds good. I don't really like the last paragraph, but that is just me. What part of NC was this?
