2. NEVER ask for a warning. its a kick in the face. OK mam, i pulled you over just to warn you. your better off being polite, and being normal than kissing major ***, or giving attitude.

3. courts must be different there. once you fight the ticket and loose, they usually take away your right to traffic school, and fine reduction. if you plead guilty, they usually say you can do community service here.

again, this is all from what i know, in the LA area. none of this applies to CHP. i have had them pull me over for window tint (which i am not allowed to have, but know that, and if i get written for that no big deal) and literally throw my ID back at me. stupid fook doesnt realize I show up if hes getting shot at or puts out a help call. CHP also is out there to write tickets. LAPD, possibly others, is mainly there to arrest, or look for the big fish with dope/guns/warrants ect. we have no quotas, and get no reward for tickets.
Working for the City, I know a lot of cops, this is the advice they offer.
And yes, they must be different here, the judge generally won't take away your ability to go to traffic school unless you were doing something insane.
