I got a ticket…what now?!

Nice YZ250F Motard.  You got the ticket on the R6, right?

Get a traffic lawyer, seriously?  Based on what you paid, $400+, I’d grow a pair.  You had a reasonable defense, I don’t understand the value added of a lawyer in this case, especially since they were late.

Got out of a ticket in Ga, for the reason you stated.
(cop put the wrong speed limit on ticket he put 55 it was a 65)
The ticket is a court document, and he falsified a sworn court document.
And the fact that he tried to argue
"But he had an unconscious white girl in the passenger seat." (my now ex-wife)
The judge was all bug eyed and says on the record
"What The Fuck Is Wrong With You Deputy?!?! Case Dismissed without prejudice."

When I was 17 I got a ticket for 109mph in a 65. Luckily my aunt is a lawyer so she put me in touch with one of her friends who was a traffic lawyer. I guess it works a little differently here in MA but if you want to fight the ticket you get a "Court Magistrates Hearing".  Basically you show up first thing in the morning sit around for 3 hours until they call your name and then you go into the Magistrates office. Inside is the Magistrate and a representative from the police department. In my case a state officer. After about 5 minutes of me pleading my case, the magistrate lectured me for about 15, then the officer for another 5. After all was said and done the magistrate let me off, I would be given no fine apart from the $50 court fee, no license suspension, or safety course. However, that was only if I my record stayed clean until I was 18, which i’m happy to say it did.

So, if you were going with the flow of traffic.. Isnt their a law covering that or something? Could you have shown video footage of you going with the traffic, proving that you were profiled and shouldn’t have been ticketed at all? Ive heard Georgia cops are dicks to motorcycle riders, this kinda proves it. So far, the cops up here in Indiana have been cool with me. 

You stopped? Ha.

The last time I had to appear in court was pretty heart pounding, got clocked doing 74 in a 45(it was a backroad with more fields than houses).  The cop and the judge both told me I should slow down on that road since it had a few sharp turns, had to stop myself from laughing and saying that it’s not that bad when you’re used to it.
The next time I got "pulled over" a couple other cars and I were doing 95-105 down I-15 into Vegas, hid behind some trucks with another one of the cars, the cop pulled in behind me and the other guy.  Pulled out my registration, insurance, and license and thought "well I’m fucked this is reckless endangerment" waited and waited until I finally pulled away, cop apparently didn’t think a Neon could keep up with a 370Z

Was that an m3

I got caught doing 65 on a 30 but the police officer was nice enough to let me off because I gave him a packet of Tic Tacs… True Story. That’s the UK for you

Hey what year icon is that I can’t find the icon in that color :,( would really help me out. Thanks

Wow! i literally went to court for my ticket 2 days b4 this came out… Ticket was lowered thankfully.

Not full of hate …. Of course you divert from the fact that your whining Georgia bitch… And yes you’re glad to see me gone because I’m the only guy to call you out for what you are. End of conversation

Just went to court for 76 in a 50 zone. Got adjourned for 2 months to attend a dangerous drivers course before being reviewed by the court.

Does anyone have any supermoto recommendations for shorter riders?  I have a 30 inch inseam.

$430 FOR A TRAFFIC LAWYER!! i paid $50.

That trooper had a headlight out I would have gave him hell for that.

Also, in my experience where I’m at right now, cops don’t really bother with bikes unless they’re blatantly breaking the law. I don’t know how many cops I’ve driven by going 10 over on my bike and they didn’t even move.

Got a 85 in a 35 think I’m gonna need a lawyer lol 😂

That shirt’s so awesome I have to get a short sleeve and a long sleeve. Way to go Chase…haha.

Meant shirt* gotta luv the iPhone mane lol

Any info on a ticket for 105+ in a 65mph freeway. Empty traffic, California. La county. My court date is on the 21 of April.

Cops target motorcyclists typically

ticket should have been thrown out of court for that… its basically a fine based on inaccurate facts….

btw in australia, youd loose your license for 3-6 months + vehicle impoundment for doing for doing 14mph over the limit here. 32mph is 12 months no license

You were doing 87 in the pouring rain with poor visibility?  Sounds like the copper was doing you a favour..

what kind of camera do you use?

Join the National Motorists Association, and also buy two or three books that cover how to beat traffic violations in court. You’ll be armed with much more information before you go into court. You can always get a lawyer like Chase if you don’t know what to do, but in most cases you can get your fine reduced by just talking with the District Attorney before court starts. 

what are you using to record with?

God he’s turning into Yummi, being all fucking ADD.  I’m 1 minute into the video and am struggling to not turn this off.  Just focus on your topic and tell a fluid story please

the higher cost now is worth more than the higher insurance costs by FAR

I got a ticket going 73 in a 25 but I got a lawyer and he got it dismissed completely due to a discovery violation!
Ticket was $411 and I only paid $250 for the lawyer!

I lost my license for 90 days for 125mph in a 65mph zone I guess it could have been worse

NEVER TALK TO COPS! You have a right to remain silent. Anything you say CAN be used against you. All you do is make lawyers job harder

Your shitty lawyer worked out a shitty deal with the prosecutor that’s the person she first talked too. I wouldn’t have spoken with the prosecutor at all; just tell the judge that you plead no contest with an explanation. Tell the judge that your citation states that you were in a 55 zone but that you have pictures that prove that it was a 65. Then, politely request that the case be dismissed. Many times it is; if not, request that the charges be lowered so as to not have any points on your license; sometimes they just slap you with about a $150 – $300 fine and/or a safety driving course plus court fees which can run upwards of $100. You don’t need a lawyer for that. If you feel comfortable with a lawyer, then look for another one because your lawyer clearly just wanted to get paid and not help you; you did all the work and the prosecutor gave you the same deal as if you didn’t have the pictures; they scare you into thinking that the judge will hit you with everything; they are assholes. If you look clean and act polite, the judge usually lowers it anyway. The cops are also not very helpful, they just want to give the ticket and move on; most don’t know or care how many points or how much it will cost you.

The real problem is speed limits are way to slow. No one drives 65 on the highway. everyone goes 80-90. 

I have tried that "I was keeping up with traffic" defense before and the response was " well I can only pull em over one at a time" 👎

Tickets suck

The simple fact that you have to pay out your ass to have someone speak for you in court is bull shit. Because at the end of the day that pig was wrong the whole time and could have easily went back to make sure that it was in the right speed zone.

I was pulled over for given a ticket for a 40 in a 25. At which point the cop wrote me a ticket and I called a lawyer and I’m cost $300 and I didn’t even have to go to court and it was tossed out due to the radar not being tested. I was not speeding either. The lawyer called me and said things went great and have a great life.

Chase respond to me

Should have worn that shirt to court…

why do you have metal bars in front of your hands on the handlebar, if you crash the front of  your bike you think they could trap your hands between the handle bars?

going to court and paying hundreds of dollars for a victimless ”crime” lul ftp.

Going with the flow of traffic supersedes the speed limit. You could have had it thrown out. If you were actually doing the same speed as every one else. Which I doubt.

I must always run into bro-tier cops. I’ve never been pulled over on my bike despite going past cops doing 20+ over the limit, and I’ve only been given 3 tickets in my Jeep, but on each of those I was going 15-20 over and the officer wrote it up as 10 over so there were no points and a lower fine. I usually just get warnings though, one officer even let me off with a warning for 68 in a 45 just because I was honest with him and said I was zoned out and not paying attention which he appreciated.

Nobody else thinks you’re crazy for doing 87 in the rain?

Sup bro, I ordered a Decision shirt but never got a shipping email. Will this shit seriously ship till after the campaign ends?

You seem to be a "nice guy"..I watch your videos from time to time as, generally, I find them interesting/entertaining but sometimes you give advice from the perspective of doing something foolish/stupid; getting caught then trying to explain and/or claiming to use the experience as a teaching tool.

The simple fact is ( as you admitted ) you should not have been riding at 80 plus mph! Period.  End of story.  You are in hot water due to your own lack of judgement-MULTIPLE times. It is habitual,

 In the video where you recounted being arrested-the situation was the consequence of speed.  In the video where you crashed due to the taxi running the red light..You were still partially responsible due to speeding.  In the 2015 April Fool’s day video–you were riding in the middle of a city popping wheelies and most probably exceeding the speed limit-yet again.

The best advice you can give is to suggest to others NOT TO SPEED and ride RECKLESSLY. If  you could have pointed out the expense you incurred in hard dollar amount(s) and how that money could have been spent on useful and fun things rather than submitted to a legal system.  You could tell others how it feels to have to face a judge, court clerk, finding a lawyer, tell exactly how money it cost for speeding.( And yes, I was paying attention).  You state you were going with traffic but that is not a valid excuse. It was SOLELY your decision to ride 20+ miles above the speed limit. If everyone is speeding the cop can pick and choose.  It was bad luck to encounter a scumbag cop with an attitude who inaccurately indicated the speed posted but if you were riding defensively -you would probably not have to deal with the jerk.  This is the stuff you should be advising others to avoid.  There are too many  variables in what a person in a similar situation as you will face.  What is observed in one jurisdiction may be radically different in another.

Just my opinion.

Just so you know, and this may vary state to state, but my laws dictate a grace period before the speed limit sign.  When it’s transitioning from a 75 to a 55, you must be going 55 by the time you pass the sign, but the same is true going the opposite way, when transitioning from a 55 to a 75, you can be going 75 by the time you hit the sign and not be charged.  Granted, the grace period is only like 250-350 feet, or about 10 seconds.  

Nobody follows this law and it’s an easy way for a cop to stop you if they suspect you’re a drug dealer.  For example, I wear a beanie that’s reggae colors, and I was passing a cop into a transitioning speed zone, from 45 to 35.  I was used to slowing down as I hit the sign, but the cop stopped me for 10 over, even though I braked to slow down, because he clocked me right before I hit the sign, but he was also close enough to see my hat.  I asked him why he stopped me and not the person in front of me, and he said that the person in front of me was an elderly woman and wouldn’t have yielded any excess charges.  It’s more lucrative to the state to stop young, devilish looking persons rather than elderly people.

What kind of setup would I need to have to do motovlogs? I was thinking about getting a GoPro Hero 3, but I don’t know what to do as far as getting a mic setup and how to even mount the gopro to my helmet. Any tips?

I have court next month for a ticket i got 113 in a 55

get to the fucking point holy shit
