Is it normal to get arrested for driving to fast
 

Happend to me in Texas - spend 3 days in jail, and only got out by paying a hugeass fine + my bike was taken from me (buy I get it back in 2 weeks - so they say :( )

3 days?????
What, were you doing 160 mph in a school zone??

Arent you danish?

I got arrested for speeding once.
I was 18 had a 80 camero with a rebuilt 427, 6"highrise, dual holley 750's and a NOS system on it.
I made it from 20 minutes north of Boston to 30 minutes south of Portland Maine in 20 minutes......

I saw the cop and slammed on the brakes,, He still clocked me at 120....
Spent the night in jail, My friend who was timing me had to drive back to MA and get bail money.....

Yes I'm danish - but I went to the US to be at Internext.
On highway 10, west of san Antonio I was going a little above 145 mph and some cop must have been standing on one of the exits on the road, cause i dident se him (and ther was NO cars on the road at all)

Can't you avoid jail entirely if you pay the fine immediately? 3 days in jail for speeding? Is it because you couldn't come up with the cash right away?

Up here you just get a ticket, or if it is really excessive then you have to go to court. No jail.

they said i put the life of others in danger by driving that fast - Its only because the Danish Embassy contacted the Police staion im out now.

Dont speed over 100mph in texas dude... just about anybody knows that

darn that sux

how come you posted on gfy during your 'jail time' ?

They have terminals in prison? Great.

However i just think your full of shit..

"loves the cock, its true"

Did you set that after you got out?
:winkwink:

Seriously though, that sucks man. How long did it take before the embassy did anything?

How was prison there, what kind of cell were you in?

You must have been charged with reckless driving or something. I guess they can hold you up to 30 days for that.

I've heard, that they can arrest you in US for such a stupid things, like driving fast or drunk, smoking blunts, etc. I'm so happy, that I'm not living there...
When you do something like that here, policeman usually wants only $20 in their pocket(how rich they must be:) )

Is this true?

Texas is a long way from 'Vegas bro. If you're driving it takes 2 days.

Now more than ever :1orglaugh

read the time asshole : 01-11-2003 03:59 PM

I dident MAKE it to vegas, I was "pulled over"

You had everything you needed for 'Vegas on the back of a bike? AND you were traveling several days on a bike to get there??

You're a man's man for sure.

Reminds me of that 70's movie... what's it called? Was it 'Easy Rider'?

You are da MAN!

No - im a GAY man.
I buy my cloths when I get there.
I only carry my money, toilet stuff, underwearn + one set of clothe in my bagpack. No fun in riding a bike, if you have to carry 50 pounds of stuff

If you're really a gay man, maybe you can help me figure out what to do with Studs4You.com. I bought the domain and haven't figured out what to do with it. What sites should I promote with it, to make it attractive? Or should I just shoot my own content and make it a pay site?

I've thought about posting nudes of any guy that walks through the door, ages 18-85. I could then market to both gay males and straight females (create stickiness somehow).

Any ideas?

im not relly gay im affraid - just say it to piss people off - GFY'ers is so scared of gays it funny.




sounds like a good idear - but i dont have time to help you - Im to far behind on my own sites to start helping others :-)

Hook me up with the Danish Embassy, I need to get a few people out of jail

Happy to see your OK, thanks for that DNS help

Thanks man - do the jail-thing have anything with your escort site to do?


stop saying that already - you have said it like 10 times already :thumbsup

What?! Two days? Who's driving? Your grandma?

I drove from Illinois to San Diego, through the mountains and 10 hours worth of stops, in less than 48 hours.

I don't know the route or terrain from Las Vegas to Texas, but come on...

That sucks man, crazy Americans and their jail time. I hear they'll toss you in jail for smoking pot down there.

I've never heard of anyone getting jail time in Canada for speeding. In fact I've been busted doing 205 KM/H in an 80 zone and I just got a huge ticket, my 3 day old car towed, a one month suspension. :thumbsup

You got lucky Rich. In Canada, anything 50+ km/h over the speed limit can be considered "dangerous driving", which is a Criminal Code offense, and carries federal jail time. However, it *is* up to the discretion of the officer as to what charge he lays.

i been busted over 50 km/h twice in canada, both gave me huge tickets and both lowered it to 49 km/h over :/

Have the Danish embasy request that in writing:winkwink:

most states have it in the laws that if arrested (a traffic ticket is an arrest, technically) for speeds in excess of 100 MPH you are subject to arrest.

at 145, you can probably count on it, but I am sure they enjoyed chasing you.

you were obviously going 100 mph or over... IT"S ILLEGAL TO GO THAT FAST !!

Yes in a lot of states for going 145 mph you will go 2 jail.

Hey...

Don't you owe some member of this board $50? I'm sorry to hear about your legal troubles, but don't you think it's time you settle up your dues???

145 mph is quite fast...

I just got racing and imprudent driving, wow that would be shitty if I went to jail for it. Time to start slowing down I guess.


:glugglug

hey dude what part of denmark are you from???

There is a totally different attitude in the US with police - they are there for the sole purpose of busting ya. (Although ya can't blame em for cooling you down at 120mph *g*)...

I live where "repressive" enforcement is illegal and the attitude of cops is totally different. Example, if you are up shit creek and have a breakdown - wave a cop and he will get his shirt sleeves rolled up and try to be a temporary mechanic. If he can't fix the car - he calls a vehicle to haul the car home and a police car to drive the passengers back home. The cost? Nuthing! And the height of courtesy from all these guys. Hell.. they end up friends!

Another odd fact is... the cops cannot "raid" your home/office between 12pm and 6 am - it is "unconstitutional" *s*. Hell they can't even pull a dealer outta bed at 5am! :-) Wierd shit!

I have never found any country yet who had such helpful cops - their "aim" ain't to write tickets and arrest - tis to "manage" a situation and help where possible and they are repected for this.

Three days in jail? Na.. a few jokes and a promise to behave in future and you are on your way again :-)

:warning

Most, if not all states, and can carry some considerable consequences.

Get your money yet???

as far as i know there are only 2 reasons they can arrest you for speeding

1) you appear under the influence of something

2) you were going double the speed limit or faster.
the later is considered "reckless endangerment" and bumps the mistermener of speeding up to a low level felony, thus your ass will be in the back of a police car shortly.
