The other night I was with this girl, we were just driving thru this street to leave. We stopped off at a 7-11 for a drink. As I was getting out of the 7-11 driveway, my bumper started to hit from underneath (note: my front bumper is a Cobra R bumper, and the car is lowered about 1.5 inches). So I quickly got out of that situation. My car did a small little burnout, but barely anything. No marks, and the quick turn lasted no more than a milisecond.
Then I see this cop car right in front of me, going the other way. I looked at the cop from my rear view, he didn't stop or turn. So I thought I was ok.
Then about 2 minutes later at a red light, I see the cop right behind me. Light turns green, I start to drive. But he puts on his lights and sirens. I immediately pull over and park the car, not turning it off though.
He comes out and tells me that I did a burn out. I said, "Officer, I didn't do a burnout really. All that happened, was that my bumper was scratching. So I left fast to prevent damage to my car." He then says "Oh yeah?". I say "Yes, my bumper can't go over bumps and stuff without scratching. Look underneath, there are a lot of scratches". He then proceeds to look and feel under the bumper. Comes back up, and says "Yes, you're right. There are scratches". Then he asks for my drivers license and car registration. I give him it. He goes to his car for about 10 minutes literally. Meanwhile I'm just chillin with the girl and we're talking.. ect.
Cop comes back, and tells me to get out of the car. I get out, no problem. He then tells me "You can't handle this car. You're a street racer, and you could have killed someone." I say, "No I don't street race. And I can handle the car fine, the only problem is on bumps that I have to be very careful". He then says "Do you want to complain about this ticket?". I say "Yes, because the "burnout" that you say I did for less than a second. And no marks or noise or smoke were made". He then proceeds to get onto his personal walkie talkie (it's attached to his collar) to call over his other personelle. Then he reaches for his hand cuffs. I then say "Whatever. Give me the ticket, but I will be disputing it. This isn't worth it for me.". He gives me the ticket, $172 CND. $86 for the burnout, and $86 for no "N" displayed on the outside of my car (I have had my license for a year).
I filed a dispute for this ticket. Anybody have any tips for me to fight this?
I took pictures of the scene, and there are no marks on the road.
