-Ask the police officer if he is allowed to give you a warning, and state that will definitely be more careful.

If you end up with a ticket anyway:
-Ask to see the radar. If he produces it, look for a calibration sticker. (I wouldn't ask for this until you're sure youre getting a ticket, as it's likely to piss him off).
-Always try to fight it in court. You have a good chance of at least getting the amount reduced.

1. i disagree. the ONLY time i write someone a ticket, is when they lie. when they admit, and are honest, unless they are doing double the limit (ect), thats good enough for me. in court, if i said you admitted it, and you didnt, good luck convincing a judge the cop is lying (i dont ever do that, but something to consider)

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.
