I never got a stupid ticket before but my dad has got some messed up tickets. he's a taxi driver and there's only certain locations that he's allowed to take passengers. one time someone asked if my dad can take him to the hospital. at the time my dad dropped off a passenger at a place where he can't take new passengers. being a good man that he is, my dad of course agreed, and i don't see how someone can refuse such a request. welp, it turned out to be an undercover cop and my dad got ticketed for it. seriously, they should change their destination to somewhere other than the hospital, i don't think anyone would refuse if somebody asked them to take them to a hospital. what if it was an emergency?

I've heard of eastern Europe being less punitive, but to help you get rid of the evidence, or let you keep half of it? Sounds like a scene out of Superbad. :D

I had a TERRIBLE experience being ticketed my sophomore year as an undergrad.

For those who don't know, Halloween weekend at UCSB is pure insanity. I've never seen so much partying in such a condensed place anywhere. Anyway, I lived with 8 other guys in a large house and one of my house mates allowed his younger, female cousin and her three friends to stay with us for the weekend. Some were 18, some were almost 18, and all were seniors in high school. Us guys were all either 19 or 20 at the time.

It all started when I got off of work around ~9pm ready to get dressed up, start drinking, and head to Del Playa Street (where everybody walks around in costume). So I get home, and tons of people are over and everybody is already plastered out of their minds, including these girls. I walk in the house, say my "hellos" and sit down on the couch for a second to watch Sportscenter. Meanwhile, two of the girls walk outside, one of which is 17, with beers in their hands. I've been home all of three minutes when I see the police roll up and sit these girls down on the curb. Everybody in the house freaks out and is wondering what the hell is going to happen as we see them talking/crying to the police. About five minutes later the police officer comes to the door.

Here's where it went sour. Nobody else in the house was sober and would have been able to talk to the officer reasonably. Being the responsible one and expecting the officer to tell me that I need to make sure these drunk girls stay inside, I answered the door. BIG MISTAKE.

As soon as I open the door, he says: "Get the other girls out here right now or you're going to jail." The girls hear this from the back room and jump out the window and over the back yard fence because they were drunken idiots. I come back and tell him that I can't find them because they fucking jumped over a fence. So he calls for backup and four police cars roll up and they chase these girls down. They all get sat down in front of the house on the curb and I have to explain to the police officer why these girls were walking around outside drunk, and that I had no idea because I had JUST gotten home from work.

Anyway, he hands me a ticket for "furnishing alcohol to a minor," which as I've since learned, was a punishment initially created to punish liquor stores and bars that sell booze to underage kids. It's considered a serious misdemeanor and comes with a $3000+ fine AND a mandatory court appearance... I asked how it made any fucking sense to give that to me and he said: "You assumed responsibility over anything illegal by answering the door."

So I go to court where I'm represented by a public defender because I don't have jack shit for money as a college student. Initially the judge keeps the punishment as is. After the public defender talks to the DA, I get off with an infraction instead of a misdemeanor, a $500 fine, I have to attend 5 AA meetings, and I'm enrolled in the "Youth Offender" program.

The worst part was that the girls refused to help out and their parents blamed me even though I had neither bought nor given them any alcohol. It was such fucking bullshit. My buddy pitched in for the fine, but going to AA meetings is a terrible way to spend your Friday nights...

A woman cop pulls over my dad while he's driving his Mustang Bullit show car. He saw her probably about 8 blocks back,so he was sure not to speed or anything. As she approaches the window, she says, "YOU SMOKE?" He replied with a sarcastic "Yeah", and pointed to his pack of cigarettes on the dash. She then accused him of flicking a cigarette butt out the window, and was going to give him a littering ticket for $120. All he had to say was "I got news for you, honey, I don't smoke in this car so that's impossible. It's a show car, if you know what that is." She got angry, and stormed away. Best way to get out of stupid tickets is be a sarcastic jerk.

No biggie, I'll just pull over, lock the car and walk 10 or so minutes into the woods to leak. Pretty standard human operating procedure.

Well this may not be the stupidest ticket, more like the stupidest person to get a ticket but anyway here it go's. Recently I moved to Arizona to live in "the nerd house",basically EG's sc2 house. Anyways I was traveling back to California to drop off my dad's truck and get my car. I started the drive at 4 am without sleeping the whole day "yea im fucking retarded" . So anyways im driving down the 60 which turns into the I-10 , the highway that go's straight to LA when i start seeing all these flashes while im driving. I kinda think nothing of it at first, maby im just tired and seeing things, WRONG. I had never seen those god damn camera's on the side of the road that give you fucking speeding ticket's before because they never had them in California, or at least anywhere where I had lived my entire life, so anyways to make a long story short I got 4 speeding tickets in like a 4 mile area before I noticed, and yea I kinda drive fast at 4 am when their are no cars around so I was going about 15 miles over the limit on all of them.

Actually he could fight the shit out of that because unless the keys are in the ignition the person doesn't have actual control of the vehicle.
