Big problem! Busted by cops in NYC. Need advice!


Recommended Posts

Ok so im rideing in Staten Island and like the asshole that i am, i was showboating on my neighberhood block. Make a long story short. I eneded up Wheeling and hitting a brand new parked truck.

 

I quickly lifted bike and myself, which bike fell ontop of me and took offf. 10 minutes later cops show up to from of my garage and started questioning me if i had hit car. I said i have no clue what the hell your tlaking about and after about 10 minutes of trying to make me confess, they gave up and left.

 

I then cleaned up quad and put it away. I jumped into my car and proceeded to leave the cirlcle of houses which i live in. (a community). As im leaving i see the cars damage, the cops hanging out there and the owner of the car looking at the damage i had done to his brand new car..

 

Technically i had gotten away a free man. But since im not a little punk anymore, i decided to go bacck around the block, jump out of my car, walk upto owner and cops and admit it was me. I just couldnt do it!!

 

Anyways, here come the question. I talked to the owner of the car and agreed on a payment plan (total damage was 1900 dollars) Im paying him 400 a week until bill is payed off.

 

Now heres the problem. The cops gave me 4 ticckets i just dont agree with. Ticket #1 No insurance, Ticket #2 noregistration on veicle, And ticket #3 no licensed driver. These are all tickets givien to me for me admiting to driving the quad, but they never pulled me over on it. and you cant even insure a quad or get a license for it.

 

 

Main question: Should i plead not guilty to these tickets??? I think theyre bullshyt tickets and will not stick. What do u guys sugggest?? Need your help here guys.

 

Sorry for long story but im mad that i stepped up to the plate and admitted to the damage, then these cops use me to meet their quota on baseless tickets.

 

Thanks in advance, Al...

shouldnt of stopped, if its a new car its fully insured

 

 

Youu know what? If it was just 10 years ago when i was a little punk i wouldnt have. But it wasnt something i had time to think about. It was a reaction. I felt bad to the guy and could imagine it happening to me.

 

Thanks for making me feel better. :P

I underrstand everything i did wrrong. But they didnt see anything. It was all by my word of mouth. I agree on paying the 1900 dollars in damage to the guys brand new car, but they nevver pulled me over in my car or quad (which was in my garage already) and just cant understand where they get the balls to give me a no insurance, license, and registration ticket. Im going to send in a not guilty plea. I think im going to win this one.

 

They have to actually pull over a veicle to actually write u up any typ of tickets, which in my case they didnt. Ill be seeing them in court. This doesnt make sence. The 3 tickets add up to 450 dollars, which i dont feel like paying if i dont have to.

Yep, IMO the best thing would have been to just show up later and tried making it right with the vehicle owner and left the deputy dawgs to whatever else they do.

 

We all know now that your pulling one of these numbers..... banghead

 

when you should just have pulled one of these numbers.... :bolt:

exactly, the bike was on your property, you can do what ever you want on your property, even ride naked, they should give a shit, they dont have proof that you actually rode that bike on the street. I mean words mean nothing, tell em i want to see some vids or pictures proving i was on the street with this quad or something

Ticket #1,2 &3 are all real tickets in NY state. I lived further up north then you so maybe it's different down in the city. But i have my banshee registered and insured in NY state. Have a license plate and all on the shee. It's not street legal or anything like that, but that's what they give all off road vehicles. As for the third ticket, if you have no license then that explains that one. And you didn't say what the 4th one was, but I'm going to guess maybe leaving the scene of an accident?? Which is true too. Unless it's different for the city area, you can register and insure wheelers all day long in NY state. I get hassled about it all the time back home and those two tickets alone run $400 for us. Where insurance is $75 a year and registration is $10-$15 a year. Not taking the cops side, but all of the tickets seem to fair to me.
