Rich S. wrote in message Better check real close, Doug. Here in
Washington State, it's against the law (oops - ordinance) to change lanes more than once every 800'. No matter the reason, if you do so it's a violation. Doesn't matter if the roadway designers made it impossible to enter from the left and exit to the right. That's the background I'll be searching for when I get the time. The state's Driver's Handbook makes no reference to a specific distance. Even if the statute does mention a certain distance, how did the officer measure it? From his line of sight, parallax discounts light poles and he couldn't easily distinguish the painted lines. I'll find out if he had video during discovery. He wasn't wearing his hat but their handbook now allows that the hat isn't a required part of the uniform. The handbook changed after they lost some cases over hatless officers. D. |

Badwater Bill wrote in message A good example of administrative law is a speed limit sign. However, the speed limit he sets is "Administrative Law" not Statutory Law. It still applies until you spend a hundred grand on lawyer's fees to challenge it, should you not like it. Yeah, just the other day I got a ticket from a kid who could barely shave. I went across 3 lanes to get to the exit ramp. He wrote the ticket for failure to stay between the lines. It's harrassment. I'll win, but it will take up my time. Then, to make sure it doesn't happen again, I'll slap a civil servant complaint on him. If he wants my time, he's going to get it. D. He'll get time-and-a half for his time. What'll you get for yours? Harrassment (sic) and a civil servant complaint? Surely you have something more worthwhile to spend your time and money on. As to your complaint....did he insult you, curse at you, hit you or push you around? What are you going to complain about? Make sure it doesn't happen again? How's that? You'll win? I wouldn't count on it. How can you be sure? You sound like the typical juvenile that drives like he owns the road and then gets mad at "daddy" when he gets caught and punished. Grow up. Win or lose in court, you're the big loser for all the money and time it'll cost you while the cop puts gobs of overtime money in his pocket. You act like you're the first one that ever got a ticket. How many do you have in your portfolio? KJSDCAUSA |

Captain Doug, That last part about a civil servant complaint on the officer for doing his job. You didn't say anything about his conduct or anything else other than he was too young to shave. That last part makes you an ASSHOLE and aTURD in my book. I wish I knew your name and where this occurred and I would provide the court with your e-mail, then we would see how far your civil servant complaint would go. Crossing three lanes of traffic has nothing to do with my opinion of you. Prick!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dale |

Since you're commuting to work this makes you automatically guilty. :-( Why would we take the word of a man with a million dollars of training in fifty-million dollar machines over a twenty-two year old wonder with one-month OTJ turned loose on society? ;-) Reminds me of the old gov "pilot error" refrain. Pre-1980's there was no such thing as wind shear. Wind quit on that hard landing? asks the FAA air cop? Automatic pilot error. Had to be. In fact, when you think about it, it is always pilot error, since we never hold the government accountable for screwing up transportation in general. Be nice to fly to work again. Expensive, but oh so satisfying. I used to lean over in my Aztec and peer out the storm window down at the commuting bugs inching down their noodle highways at 65mph vrs my 165Knots (best econ) with shear contempt! Oh you pitiful little bugs! Look out for the man! He's down there somewhere.. under an overpass just itchin to generate some more revenue for the city! HA HA HA! There's a cruiser now! Let me just open this little storm window and fly the bird on this fine morning! Hey officer.. look up! I'm doing close to 200mph now with em smashed to the wall! Let's buzz this mo-fo for all those tickets I got in college. One hundred feet's O.K. in an "other than sparsely populated area" right? Five for persons or property? What? A patrol car is considered property? What if it's *your* property we're talking about here? Well, I'm a taxpayer.. so I own a certain percentage of this cop car in my windshield, right? What the hell, let's do it anyway! ZZZZZzzzzzzzooooooooooommmmmMMMM!!!! Pull up and keep the tail pointed at him till I get over this hill here... LOL! Not smart, but it feels so good. Better than drugs, I say! HA HA HA! Then I had to join those bugs a year later when they closed my base. AArragg! Sometimes you just can't get a break. pacplyer - out |

If you dare to sink that far into the gutter, don't be suprised if one of us informs the FAA of your illegal drug use that you posted right here in RAH. It would be a bit of poetic justice as far as I am concerned. Right back up your ass Dale, pacplyer |
