84hotransam - if The cop didn't have his lights on when he was following you or, ESPECIALLY when he was watching you, - that's entrapment. My sister's a cop...I asked her. If your lawyer has half a brain, he'll get you off of some of the fines, or have them dropped to no point violations - better to pay $1000 in fines than get points and have $400 or more PER YEAR on the insurance. I'm 31 and my teenage driving points/accidents are still hanging around, giving me a bad rep with every insurance co I talk to. That **** never goes away.

As for the cop being a dick, there's nothing you can do. Some cops have hard-ons for busting people and they wouldn't change their mind even if Christ came off the cross and begged them.

My sister said the cop is being a dick - the average cop will work with someone, especially a kid, cause they know insurance in NJ sucks big ass. The tickets are mostly to teach lessons and instill fear so you wont be stupid again. But for the mostart the police are willing to drop the charges to something lesser. Then again, if you were doing donuts in the middle of Rt 17, thats another story. But a dead street at night, no one could have been harmed but yourself? probably nbot a big deal and the cop could be somewhat forgiving. Good luck, I feel your pain.
