got another ticket today

[saucy beast]

i was on 46 today just heading back to my friends house when i pulled over by a state trooper saying that i had improperly merged, he was nice3 about it all, and just wrote me a ticket for "creating risk of an accident"(39:4-56), but he said the computers are down so he wrote me a post-it note with my ticket number, he said its no points but is the ticket a moving violation will my insurance increase? any help would be appreciated i cant call the court house till monday and i just want some info thanks

[Tru2Chevy]

according to the charts I could find on the state's website, 39:4-56 is "Delaying Traffic", and is a typical ~$50 no point ticket.

"improperly merged" is just a other way to reach that ticket quota, but being that you are 46 and seen as a senior driver that ticket shouldn't rise anything

LOL. He was on Rt 46. He's not 46 years old. 46 is a senior?

Ticket quota? Really? :rollseye:

[thor117]

there are no official ticket quota's.
you can guess and assume there are informal and unofficial quotas.
I just view people who say that as giving an excuse or scapegoat. perhaps the ticket was written because an illegal action was performed and warranted a ticket in the officers opinion. you may not like it but thats how it is.

[saucy beast]

i decided not to argue with the police officer about the ticket cause he said i should have yielded to the merging car instead of speeding up so the other car would merge behind me, but he best part is he didn't mind my muffler sitting in my back seat even when i started it up

[Frosty]

So he could have nailed you for having a hacked up car.....hmmmm....count your blessings.

yea, i did headers and 3 inch exhaust and it sounds so much better without the cheap muffler i got for it, so for now no muffler

[Frosty]

Yup, cheap mufflers suck. He could have nailed you with that ticket too.

[Firebird92]

Ticket quota? Really? :rollseye:
to my insurance once your 40 your senior i have USSA
and yes really a ticket quota with it being the end of the month :nod:

I'm sorry but being a young black male 21 now with a 3rd gen firebird red no less , i never could jump for joy when the police came around lol owning a firebird is legally expensive for me

REALLY!! an excuse so when you done nothing wrong and get 7 tickets for something you didn't do just in the wrong place and got that wrong cop on a bad day is an excuse. The fact of the matter is there is a "quota" but to avoid turning it into a legal matter they call it a performance rating where if you don't meet this rating for example: 15 tickets a day or 30 a week or 200 a month. They are given an warning but after that Punishment for individuals often takes the form of a formal, written reprimand known as a "Supervisor's Notation" which commanders use to enforce discipline.

I have family in law enforcement, county, state and military so i know first hand how the "protect and serve" thing works

There is no quota, or number of tickets to be written... Plain and simple.

How is a Officer of the law going to write a ticket, say if his/her job depended on it and be fairly about it?

come on..... you gotta be smarter than that Chris!!!
Yes, there is no official "ticket quota", but I have many friends in the "serve & protect" world,....these guys have a pool, where they bet who will write the most duis,speeding,parking,improper passing,etc. etc. etc.... they write each others names on a board and at the end of the month, they tally it up and wind up forking money over to each other.

And there is also times when the cheif or sargent will come in to a meeting and say that he wants to crack down on lets say seatbelts, he will than follow it up with "I want to see 500 tickets written this month". well to me thats a quota!!!
They do it, trust me, just not officially & publicly announced !!!

I know one town who wrote about 80 tickets...FOR THE WHOLE TOWN all off October... One officer themselves who wrote 3 tickets since June...

I didn't say they all do it, just saying that it is done and everyone not to be blind to this fact.

In Georgia it's legal to have a quota you must give 150 out of state tickets 100 in-state 30+ arrest and there's more need to call my grandfather and ask what it is this year.

easy be fair because i got that kind of cop having a bad day and the chief on his A$$ he gave me 10 tickets there's a thread about it here http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=49414
i never see that cop driving anymore lol

[WildBillyT]

There is no quota, and traffic stops are only part of their jobs up there. I may even know the trooper that nailed him. If it was a cash grab I think the guy would have went for one of the more expensive "doing you a favor" tickets. Just IMO though. $50 is not exactly hitting it hard for revenue.

Next I'm going to see a post about a "Ticket blitz on all major highways".

Oh snap, I just got this email!!! Oh noooooz

New Jersey will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy. The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers overtime. There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main intersections and highways.

They are the following:

I-295 north and south
1-95 (Jersey Turnpike) north and south
1-80 east and west
I-287 north and south
I-78 east and west
I-195 east and west
1-280 east and west
Rt. 130 north and south
Garden State Parkway north and south

Now 5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and they are bringing all their part timers on full time. If you work in New Jersey, New York, or CT, you must take one of there interstates, routes, or parkways. It's up to you how fast you are doing when they do. I was told 101.5 FM confirmed all of this.

So be safe and don't forget speeding tickets are on you.

You've been warned.

thats a cop out. no pun intended. you admitted you drove in a car thats loud and gains attention...albeit in color or sound. you take your ticket and pay it. you can pull the race card all you want but the fact of the matter is....all young people in a sports car are a magnet for tickets.


oh a fun fact....did you know a cops best weapon for adverting crime is random traffic stops. they have led to more arrests of major crimes than anything else a cop has at his disposal. :nod:

I almost buy into that with the amount of people pulled over I saw last night. Probably 5 within 2 miles on parkways south.

First off I guess I have to post a disclaimer so Bonzo "The Locksmith" Hansen doesn't issue me another infraction. This is not directed at you Torque, just generalizing my opinion.

There isn't a quota so to speak, but a percentage of revenue for the township/county/state are made off of tickets. When you think it's not just tickets, but court costs, and when trying to knock a few points off, more money is made. If they were really stickler for the law, you think they really let people walk away with a few less points then what was issued? I understand that they are doing their job, that I can't argue with, and I respect them, but you do have to open your eye's and realize that if you truely think they don't give out tickets for revenue, and that not that there is a quota, but if they have a budget, and may need to meet it with cheesy tickets, then you may need to speak with an officer that will tell you the truth.

That is so quote worthy, and full fo win.

High traffic time of year, they're bound to catch more. Everyone's going back to school after the extended weekend, there were plenty of cars on the road.

alright guys you tell me what this is then:
On Wed. the day before thanksgiving, my brother and i took a little ride to the BRidgewater Commons Mall. Their are two major highways that intersect there, Rt 22 and Rt 202/206. I saw five cop cars from the highway to best buy, all five of them had someone pulled over, in seperate locations; it was not a major bust of a group or anything. After we left best buy twenty minutes later, we saw the same five cop cars with five more totally different cars pulled over with tickets being written out to them.

Go Figure . . . . . .

a warning looks a lot like a ticket, when you're driving by an Insurance card or registration card being handed back to someone looks a lot like a ticket too.

[Tru2Chevy]

And Thanksgiving is the most traveled holiday of the year. Of course you are going to see a lot of cops out, and chances are good they are gonna find someone doing something wrong fairly often.

Grab a piece of reality, this is just how it is, and will be this way til we are all the same damn color!!! (shouldn't take that long seeing how many interracial couples there is these days)

[Frosty]

:bs: It'll be this way until people stop pulling the ****ing race card every time something bad happens to them. Obviously there are racist cops out there and people do get pulled over based on their race but please, it doesn't happen all of the time.

I'll tell you one thing...the way people are nowadays I wouldn't want to be a white cop pulling someone over that isn't white....it might be viewed as racist :rolleyes:

But I forgot, it's only white on black, never the opposite right?

lol that reminds me of the time my friend and I were picking up one of my other friends. he happens to live in a very bad area of trenton....dexter ave between brunswick and martin luther king jr blvd. long story short the cops showed up and were being pulled from the car at gunpoint as well. two of the four cops that showed up were black....either way...it was a tad racist that white kids cant be in a bad area...but thats the way the world is.

if you want to pull the race card then hand in your man card, cause youre acting like a skirt. :nod:
