The jails are too full as it is. The cop had every legal right to take you to jail though. That's definitely an arrestable offence. Reckless driving. I kinda got that myself once upon a time

Wow.  I continue to be amazed by some of the answers folks have here.\n\nI'm going to assume you're in California, since you made reference to not having a California license:\n\nThylawyer has a good answer - just because you don't know why you were pulled over does not mean there wasn't a perfectly legal reason to do so.  Your assertion that the police didn't have probable cause (which isn't the standard used in California) because you think you were obeying all traffic laws is bizarre...you said yourself that you don't know why they pulled you over, so how can you assume they didn't have a reason?\n\nAnd despite what people are saying here, police in California cannot pull you over solely to find out if you have a license.\n\nSo the answer your question is yes, you can get the charges dimissed if the police did not have a legal reason to stop you - but you have no business assuming they had no reason to stop you just because *you* think you were obeying all the laws (and again, police in this state do not need probable cause to stop you, they only need reasonable suspicion).

Ok, you know you did the crime so why not just turn yourself in and do the time?  Get it over with.  You can run as far away as you want but this will live w/ you forever.  Crime doesnt pay at all.\n\nBtw, its people like you with the dui that my sister is dead today.

Not prison but up to 6 months in the jail in the county in which you are convicted, along with an extension of the loss of your liscence and as much as two grand in fines... for your first driving on a suspended offense, after that it gets worse.\nI am my roommates chauffeur because he lost his liscence for an extra year over exactly this issue and did 7 days in jail plus 3 months of house arrest... That was a joy, having the sheriff call several times a day and drop by at random 4 to 6 times a week to verify that he was where he was supposed to be.

depending on where you are from..I am sure laws change from place to place..I would suggest speaking to a lawyer..most will allow you an hour of their time to sit and talk..for free...but the police cannot continue to pull you over or stop you for no reason..4 times for me ..I went to the police station..told them one more time and there would be police harrasment charges laid...it ended there..good luck to ya..gotta hate the cops on power trips

OMG!!! About 13 years ago, when I was 18, I was pulled over for going 87 in a 55 MPH zone! LOL! I had on a short dress and I must admit that I hiked it up a little more to show a little more leg.  To my surprise, it worked, I got out of the ticket...and a phone number! lol  No I did not call him!  And I did not tell my Momma either!  LOL\n\nFlashing no...flirtation...most definately...completely harmless!

What state are you located in?  Could be probation for a while.  Up to 28 days in a county jail... or fine of up to $5000. Note, going to jail is very rare and highely improbable.. dont worry you might just get probation  or fined/

Trust me, find a ride!  or Go to jail if caught!\nYou are only asking for more troubles if you get behind a wheel and get caught driving with a suspended license.  Things will only get worse.  \nBest thing to do is fix what got it suspended and work on getting your license reinstated.

You will not go to jail because the person that is operating the motor vehicle (that's legal jargon for who is driving) is the person who is liable for any offences committed with the car.  \n\nIf you are licensed and/or the owner of the car you will be given a citation and/or fined for letting someone drive without them having the authority (authority = driver's license) to do so.\n\nIf neither of you are licensed, you guys will need to find a different mode of transportation and the vehicle will be towed at the expense of the owner of the car, plus other charges the police will add with their work on the matter.

Usually a "failure to appear" warrant will not result in jail time unless you have many prior failure to appears and they can show a pattern or if the failure to appear is on a serious felony crime or a crime in witch you are out on bail. Now either way it will be better for you to turn yourself in. However do not turn yourself in on a friday as this may result in sitting in jail until monday. Also I would call the court clerk and try to reschedule an appearance before I turned my self in to show that you did make an effort. Oh yea it is also bad if the appearance is for sentencing. They really frown on ditching accountability. In addition by turning yourself in you avoid all the hassle of having your car towed away and impounded if you are pulled over while drving. Don't panic! Especially if this is a minor offense. The courts and jails are so jammed up with truly bad people they have no time or room to lock people up for minor offenses. Even if it seems really bad to you. I assume that it is minor because you don't seem to have much experience dealing with the law. I personally have been pulled over with a valid warrant and the officer just cited and released me. However I have also seen people get hauled in friday night and have to wait til the offices open up Monday morning to be released with nothing more than a new court date. Anyways good luck and stay low until Monday.

you will be given something called P.T.I, which means you will be fined and probation, but you cannot get in trouble for 12 months if you do then the drug charge will come back to you. The fine will be approximately $600.00 if you were pulled over meaning you were driving you will also be given a surcharge of around 125.00 a year for 3 years.\n\nTo be exact the fine is as followed.\n\n225.00 for possesion of under 50 grams\n175.00 for possesion of paraphenalia\n100.00 for safe neighborhood\n100.00 court cost\n\nAnd to be more clearer the probation isnt a probation where you have to go see a probation officer it just means you cannot be caught with any drugs in that years time. Also be forwarned they will do random drug tests..

I got pulled over for that once too except mine was called disorderly conduct with a vehicle ?? But I don't know how well the fight would hold up if you fought it because it is your word against his when it comes to what he had said to you.

Go to court and plead guilty.  I have been to court many times and have seen people try to prove that the radar gun is not calibrated properly...All I have to say is good luck.  Again, plead guilty and ask for leniency.  Especially if it is your first offense.  In MD, the have what is called probation before justice where the fine is reduced by half and no points are given towards your driving record.  Again, I have never been screwed by going to court and pleading guilty, always had the fine reduced and points reduced or eliminated.  Never just pay the fine.  I hope that is what you were asking.  To get out of a speeding ticket, just apologize and ask if there is any way they can cut you a break.  I've gotten out of a handful of tickets with just a warning by being respectful to the officer.

To be honest you are in trouble.  The judge will side with the cop everytime, especially with the radar gun.  Here is your best strategy......Call the cop that gave you the ticket and ask him to cut a deal with you....or wait for him in the lobby of the courthouse and plead /beg cry do whatever make up a story  ?maybe he'll give you a plea bargain.   I did this a few times,   2 of the 3 times it worked.  They charged me with a lower speed on etime instead of 75 in a 55  65 in 55,  the other time they took it from 70 in 55 to careless driving instead.  thats your only chance bud is a plea bargain.\n\n"an outside chane is this" on your ticket it says when the last date that radar device was checked for accuracy it must be checked every 30days...maybe the cop forgot that month

You are looking at time in jail or huber.  What you did what just plain stupid and you should know better.  No one is going to give you any pity at all for this.  Especially not a judge.  You continue to do the crime, now you get to do the time.  Enjoy.  You brought this on yourself.

Yes, go see your PO. That's why you were in jail the first time you idiot, you didn't obey the law! Dont try breaking it again.
