Doesn't seem like it since the guy said he's going to fight it in court and the owner of the windshield repair place said he would pay the fine if the guy couldn't get it dismissed. EDIT: I'm assuming a "fix it' ticket" is one that gets thrown out so long as the issue is fixed within a certain period of time.
I think you have to show up to the court date for most of them and then they get tossed out. Or just show up after it's been fixed. I'm sure each state is different but I'm guessing he'll get this one tossed without much trouble.
Yeah "fix it ticket " are usually for things like broken headlights. You fix the issue and it gets thrown out.
I understand. But he said he's going to fight it so I am just assuming that means he will have to argue against it and not just show he got it fixed. The latter option doesn't sound like much of a fight at all. That's why I'm assuming it wasn't a so-called "fix it ticket."
Maybe he just said fighting it? I would doubt he has to actually do any fighting. I mean it's very possible that he said he was going to fight it when all he actually has to do is show up and show it's fixed. Also, lol at the workers thinking the cop was a no nonsense cop for writing the ticket. That windshield was probably 50% shattered. That's a ticket from 99% of cops.
I've tried searching for "correctable violation" in Colorado and can't find anything saying if it is or isn't.
A "fix it" ticket is stupid to give to someone that is in the act of getting it fixed. It just causes everyone to waste their time. Unless the cop was behind on his quota. Then he's just setting up camp someplace easy to poach "violators."
I think the 'no-nonsense' was in reference to the fact that the guy is literally in the parking lot of the place he was on his way to get the issue fixed. Despite the fact that the windshield was broken on the passenger side and didn't stop the driver from getting to his destination safely, the officer felt the need to issue the ticket. If you were the cop in this case, would you have written him a ticket?
Yes. I agree. It is stupid. Common sense should have prevailed. But, in the end it wouldn't be a big deal.
If I saw him in the lot, no. But if I was behind him and he pulled into the lot as i hit my lights on him most likely. Unless the shop came out and told me he was there for an appointment. I'd have no way of knowing if he really was getting it fixed or just making that up and I'm not sitting there waiting to see if he does. And that windshield was not safe at all, just because the spider webs didn't encroach into the drivers side doesn't make it safe. If you were driving down the street like that I'd guess you'd get pulled over by most cops.
No one is arguing that the windshield is safe to drive with daily. I'm pointing out that it was safe enough to get it to the only acceptable destination he could have which was the place it would be repaired. The whole thing could've been as simple as "Oh this is where you were coming to get it fixed, you say? Well, that seems like a convenient excuse but if you pull in that door right there right now and do just that then I won't write you this ticket." Instead, it became a thing and now it's receiving national attention instead of just being an instance in which this officer used a little common sense.
There's a lot we don't know from that video. Maybe James Blake flipped off the cop/was actually running fraudulent credit cards.
Not sure which of the two threads to put this in so I'll leave it here. http://www.washingtonpost.com/rweb/...a76a3d30030277db933_story.html?tid=kindle-app
BTW this is the same hard working guy that put his life on the line and did this to someone. For our safety!!
I shared this information in the NoleNBlue Police thread because I thought it would be seen as a good thing but I was wrong and it didn't go at all how I expected.
Numbers are hard sometimes. Couldn't imagine being a cop during prohibition. That really was "open season".
-Police are called to a house where a man is shooting rifle into house across the street -Arrest man responsible for shooting the house -Police see man next door standing outside his garage with what they claim they believed to be a gun -Police immediately fire several rounds at him and strike him in the leg -Turns out it was a cell phone and he was just recording video of the police on-goings Spoiler: Article Sheriff’s deputies in California claimed they feared for their lives after shooting a man who was filming them from his own garage. The Sacramento sheriff’s deputies shot Danny Sanchez on Friday. Sanchez is currently in the hospital at the UC Davis Medical Center, where he underwent surgery to remove bullet fragments, according to his father, John Sanchez. The shooting occurred when the Sheriff’s department SWAT team showed up to arrest a neighbor, Ben Ledford, 62, after he fired off an illegal machine gun across the street. When Sanchez saw the incident, and the SWAT team converge, he began recording from his garage. He assumed there wouldn’t be any problem, since he was so far away from the incident, on his own property and even out on the edge of the garage. Police say that Sanchez was extending his arm with “an object” in his hand. That “object” was a cellphone, Sanchez’s father John “Sonny” Sanchez said. His son was simply trying to videotape the arrest of Ledford. That’s when police opened fire on him. “He was yelling, ‘Dad I’m shot, I’m shot,’ so I grabbed him inside and closed the garage door. I put a tourniquet around his leg and a clean towel,” John Sanchez explained. He pointed out four additional bullet holes in his garage as well as several more in his car. “You can see how many shots they did: one, two three, four — shooting at my son with a cell phone. C’mon that’s ridiculous,” Sanchez commented. Sgt. Jason Ramos, of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s department said “I think it’s reasonable to think that the officers perceived an immediate threat either to themselves or continued threat to that individual.” On top of shooting him and arresting him, Sanchez’s home was also searched. But Sgt. Ramos acknowledged Sanchez committed no crime and is not facing any charges whosoever. News report: http://up.anv.bz/latest/anvload.htm...jQxZWYwZTVkMzBjNzliMmVmYmNhNWQ5MmM2OThmNjcifQ
You could walk your ass into the store and ask. Pretty sure that gathering evidence is actually part of a cop's job.
Good lord that's ridiculous. They shot him and then arrested him for sitting in his own garage. And their boss considered it all reasonable.
The guy who tackled blake has had 5 excessive force complaints in 7 months. And his punishment for everything is "desk duty." wtf does it actually take to get real punishment?
Blake guy was wrongly identified as another blake guy who was wrongly identified and was tackled in a identity fraud police sting by an undercover who didnt identify himself. Got it?
I thought that was the other video where the dude was outside of the hotel. This one seemed like 4 officers walk in, talk to some big black dude and he just keeps backing up to the back of the store. Or does this just happen a lot to black guys?
Oh my bad. This dude didn't understand why they wanted to arrest him. They made up some nonsense. They pepper sprayed him. He gave up. They again sprayed him. Took him outside and roughed him up. Charges were later dropped. Lol.
Guess this should go here http://www.dallasnews.com/news/comm...ted-after-taking-homemade-clock-to-school.ece
I like this exchange: He kept maintaining it was a clock, but there was no broader explanation what broader explanation could the boy have given? It could reasonably be mistaken as a device if left in a bathroom or under a car. The concern was, what was this thing built for? Do we take him into custody? uh....the broader explanation the boy could have given was: it could reasonably been mistaken for a bomb if placed under a car or in a bathroom? I feel like that person answered whatever question they wanted to answer instead of the question asked.
That school district and police department is going to get sued. Hope the kid gets paid, funds his college education.
Holy shit. Coroner saying that the death of Illinois police officer Charles Gliniewicz may have been a suicide.
I was first going to question why this is in the bad police thread, but then realized that by police standards this man is a terrible police officer. He endangered his own life, the life of the child, and the lives of anyone within a 5 mile radius by not putting that vicious animal down.
It's a sad day when a kid is better off playing Playstation than actually building something from scratch.
