I got a summons for spitting on the sidewalk...
|
My dad got a DUI for pushing his bike home on the shoulder of the road.
|
400 € + licence suspended for 1 month + 6 points deducted from said licence (it has 12 max)
For having been flashed at 180km/h instead of 90 km/h
The stupid factor is that it was riding a motorcycle, and being flashed by the only fixed radar that takes pictures from BEHIND, on that road I perfectly know.
Was too drunk to remember said radar

People who drive drunk should be shot, cut up and fed to dogs. I have zero tolerance with that shit.
Dumbest fine: 120$ for riding the train without paying. Felt so stupid, since I knew I'd broken the rules.
I've talked my way out of so many fines - urinating in public areas (pretended we were foreign exchange students), riding without lights on bike ('I'll remember them next time!') and drinking in public (this is illegal in Denmark, but the law is never enforced: this one cop tried, but we convinced him it was bullshit and he left us alone).
My dad went to NYC some 30 years ago with a bunch of friends and right after checking into the hotel late at night they decided to cure the jetlag by getting drunk. Being that they were cheapskates they went to a store to pick it up, went out and sat on the street and hit the bottles. 10 minutes later the cops show up and fine 13 stupid danes 50$ each...

This is a about the stupidest ticket you've ever received, not the stupidest person to get a ticket.

Getting a ticket for "using" cellphone when the driver simply leaned his head against the phone during a red light.
It wasn't me, but I kinda LOL'd when I heard about this.

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...
holy shit never answering the door
You don't have to. If police are knocking on your door and there is no clear and present danger than they can not enter or make you come out without a warrant. Basically that's why he got in trouble because by opening the door he is "essentially" accepting that there is activity going on inside.
It is a very corruptable rule that cops seem to love to use to make arrests without warrants.

And opening the door just about lets them come in and poke around too. If there is anything illegal/suspicious in plain view, they can come in and search. So if he thinks there's underage people inside and see's a beer on the table, he'll get in. etc. etc.
Basically, if you have something to hide, don't open the door

I got a ticket at the college I'm at this year, because the car wasn't registered and that it was impeding the flow of traffic. Well, it was not impeding the flow, and I had registered online, I just assumed that information was accepted, but instead, I had to pick up a sticker for my car. I did not know that, nor did it say that anywhere on the college website. I tried to fight it, but you know colleges, they want as much money as possible.

Dunno if this counts, cause it was just a warning, but I got pulled over and got a written warning because my rear right window was not "sufficiently clear of snow".

Exactly the same thing here. Only it's 50 € here. I was sure the coast was clear (drunk obv), but then some cop on a motorcycle drives past and sees me pissing against some random wall. Don't think I got more than 5 tickets in my life tho.

Ahh but you see if I see an underage guy with alcohol entering the residence or peek through a window where there is OBVIOUSLY a loud party then that goes flying out the window.
And face it, small parties are not the ones that get called in...it's the gigantic parties where people are mingling outside that get called in.
