To all the people that come into this forum or other forums complaining about being stopped for what you consider minor traffic violations, you need to remember a few things.
1. You decided to break the law, not the officer!
2. The officer didnt write or vote for the law/statute, nor did he recommend its content!
3. The officer doesnt have better things to do than to enforce the law, even if you dont agree with that particular law.
4. Believe me when I say any L.E.O. would rather stop a rape, murder, burglary, etc. rather than listen to you complain about being stopped for no front plate, tinted windows, 7 mph over, failure to yield, speed not consistant with conditions, etc.!
Additionally, if you give an officer Probable Cause for a traffic stop you have invited the encounter. The officer is not picking on you or harassing you.
Traffic stops are where a lot of very bad criminals are caught. It is this encounter where warrants are discovered as well as drugs and weapons. The simple traffic stop often leads to arrests for serious felonies. So, the next time you are stopped because you invited the encounter and then let go with a warning, dont come here and complain about the officer, thank them and be done with it!!!
NOTE: Tickets can be amended. If your information is incorrect, but you and your vehicle are identifiable the ticket is still good.
