These people need to own up and just obey the law... I am sick of reading these threads where it is always the cops fault for stopping them.(most of the time they will admit somewhere in the thread they were speeding or some such foolishness). usually they are repeat offenders and still want to complain.. What an Idiot they are.. and they continue to be idiots by not learning from their mistakes.
PS I have been driving for over 40 years and I have never been stopped for any reason other than when I deserved it... Good job Officers, and get the Idiots off the street!

I think you're missing the point of posts like this. You assume someone who creates a thread like this is some nefarious habitual law breaker who's just looking to get out of trouble.
It's just as likely that someone did, in fact, get nailed when they shouldn't have. We've all seen or heard stories about false stops and such. It happens. Cops are human too and they make mistakes and sometimes even let their emotions get the better of them.
Remember, every bad cop out there makes EVERY cop look bad because those are the experiences people point to most often.
I've had many dealings with good cops. But I've also had a run-in with a couple of bad ones.
The simple fact is that fighting a charge in court is everyone's right as an American. You can't change that by saying they shouldn't fight or that they should just slow down.
You show me a person who *always* does the posted limit, and I will show you someone who routinely sees TONS of cars zooming past him, some while sending nice colorful 'gestures' his way.
