So about 2 months ago I got a reckless driving ticket.
I got a call from my friend who was in the neighborhood but was way too drunk to drive. I was like allright ill come pick you up. It was almost 1 in the morning and I got to where I had to pick him up. And we had to go down the street so my friend hoped on the hood of my car to have a little fun. I coasted down the street which wasnt any more then 20 MPH at the max.
We got down the street and I came up to a 3 way intersection with a stop sign on my end. And almost missed it till the last second. Instead of halting and probaly throwing my friend off the car I slowed 5 mph and just left off the brake and coasted through. It was friggin 1 in the mornin and in a subdivision.
Well apparently a cop was down a court on the other side that I guess saw me. He was looking for other kids breaking and entering cars and I guess thought it was us. I was driving and lookin in the mirror to see this cars headlights coming at me quite fast and then he turned his lights on. He was still quite far when he did so and I slowed. Before I knew it my friend fuckin took off!
This cop was PISSED! He ran up to my car told me to turn the car off and show my hands. He opened my door grabbed me and pulled me out, put me in handcuffs and searched me. He found nothin and put me in his cop car. He kept askin me why my friend ran I was like I WISH I FUCKING KNEW.
And as I was hitting my head in the back of his car before I knew it he was searching my car and found my pipe from the night before that I didnt bring inside. He's like oh wow I bet you didnt know about this either? I can impound your car and itll cost you 800$ to get it out blah blah blah.
Then he's like, I smell beer. I was like sir, I just picked up my drunk friend let alone ME drinking, give me a damn breathalyzer. So he did and was like Oh, well since you didnt lie to me ill let the Pipe go. But instead give you a reckless ticket.
So time went and 360$ for the fine thats fine, and a 2 month suspension on my license, fine. But now I got a letter today by 'Jennifer Granholm' Michigans mayor or whatever the fuck she is at the state capital stating I got to pay another 500$ in Driver Responsibility Fee's. Once for this month and another 500$ in a year. And she passed this law none but a year ago.
I dont fucking deserve this. First ticket ever, went to help out a friend, been working 75+ weekly hours the past 2-3 months and im only 18 god damn years old. Yea we were stupid and I let him ride on my hood but its not like I was going anywhere above 25 to endanger him. And wasnt even a major road at all!
Anyone else thats dealth with bullshit like this?
