They can. They will most likely issue a bench warrant for your arrest.\nWhether they come looking for you is the issue then. usually they don't even bother. However, if you get pulled over again with a bench warrant, it is straight to jail until the judge can see you at HIS convenience.\nThere are cases where they show up at your workplace and get you. they don't like it when you waste their time.Plus, to top it off, you have to pay to have the warrant removed, pay the ticket, and pay the failure to appear fine.\nNot worth it, just go!!!

yes- there will be an warrant issued if it is know you ran away?\nIf not an amber alert will be issued for you and if it is found then that you ran away, you will be in even more trouble, possibly a felony

No, but if you get another ticket, the judge may use this as reason to step you up in penalties for the next one.  They'll see that you completed supervision but that's it.\n\nInsurance will never know.

If the Officer was driving around in his vehicle it would be illegal. The officer is subject to the same laws as we are not to mention that this is dangerous for anyone else on the road. However if he is parked offside the road of course he can have his lights off while radaring people. \nIt is not entrapment the Officers lights off is not forcing you to speed. I'm sure if he had is headlights on and was offside the road alot of people would still speed by.

Police stop people all the time for minor traffic violation with no intention of giving them a ticket. They use the minor traffic violation as probable cause to stop and contact you.\n\nOnce they have you stopped, they start checking for other more serious violations such as DWI, Driving While License Suspended, Odor of Drugs, Plain View Contraband, Etc. It also gives the Officer the opportunity to see who is in the vehicle and to see if they are wanted.\n\nIf the Officer did not give you a ticket at the scene, then I'm sure your were just warned. I can not speak for every state, but in Texas, we do not mail a ticket to you after the stop. We give it to you at the scene or not at all.\n\nIn Texas, we use minor violations to stop people and check their story out. We have a lot of drugs coming in from Mexico. If things don't add up, then we dig further. If everything seems to check out, then we send them on their way. \n\nRemember the Oklahoma City Bomber was caught on a traffic stop. As for Gunny T's answer, I catch a wanted person, drugs, or a DWI in about 1 out of every 10-15 traffic stops. So it does work.

I don't know about in NY, but it can happen in GA;  cop wrote ticket for failure to yield right of way; guy even admitted he ran the red light light; witnesses all agreed;  judge let him go b/c officer should have written "failure to yield right of way while making a left hand turn"!!

A bench warrant will be issued for your arrest. While the PD won't actively pursue it, getting pulled over for a traffic violation becomes a major problem. So go do it - not because of the arrest factor but because it's your duty as a US citizen. We're entitled to a trial by a jury of our peers. You wouldn't want your peers skipping out if god forbid, you were on trial!

it means a Texas ranger or sheriff is following or after you

The cops have to say that. If someones messing with you don't wait for the cops to give you permission. Take care of your business.

At the time he pulled over he may have wanted to assist you but this was before he recieved a dispatch of disturbance. He may have returned to arrest you for the disturbance but found that you was gone so towed the car...police have the right to search your car if probable cause is warranted.\nNormally what they would have done is put a ugly orange colored sticker on your car telling you to move it within a certain time and if not removed then they would tow it but not search it..they did what they did to you because they had probable cause.

The key is "if I get pulled over"\n\nSon, you better drive like a saint\nand pray like one too.\n\nThe police have plenty of things to keep them occupied and if you are driving like a law abiding citizen, it is highly unlikely that you will get pulled over.\n\nGood luck on your job hunt !

"Paced" means he was behind you trying to go the same speed you were going. So if he matched your speed, he can look at his speedometer and see that you were going 40. You can also look at the violation you were charged with. Sometimes the violation cited is not for being over the posted speed limit, it is for unsafe speed, which less dependant on your exact speed. As far as contesting the ticket, if you have the time and do some fact gathering, maybe you can convince a judge that you were not in violation. If you go to court, it isn't going to be any worse, but you could get off with traffic school or something.

First of all, the police most certainly can pull you over in your driveway if they choose to.  It's not like making it to your driveway suddenly invokes some kind of "King's X" on breaking the law.  Pulling him over in the driveway has absolutely no bearing on his guilt or innocence.\n\nSounds like the officer wrote the wrong posted speed limit  on the ticket, and later sent you an amendment to the ticket, indicating what he'd amended (the posted speed).  Don't see any kind of issue with that.\n\nIf the police were following him (which is what you said), they very likely didn't have a radar reading to show him...why use radar when you're following someone?  It's certainly possible, but I suspect radar wasn't the issue here.\n\nThe "they" charging him $800 isn't the police, it's the court.  Law enforcement does not set the fines for traffic offenses, the courts do.  This has nothing to do with whether or not he should have received the ticket, so I don't know why you're mentioning it. \n\nIf your brother does not agree with the officer's assessment that he was driving 60 miles an hour in a 40 mile an hour zone, then he should contest the ticket in court.  It will be the officer's job to prove your brother violated the speed limit and your brother can offer whatever defense he might be able to offer.  The judge makes up his mind based on what he/she hears.

If you want a serious answer, this is it.  I have worked in Law Enforcement for 15 years and this is one of the more mundane types of contact the police have.  DON'T LIE!!!!!.  If you know you were speeding say so IF ASKED.  Be polite and don't make excuses, the officers have heard them all and know when you are lying.  Don't give the officer grief, after all this is his job and depending on how fast you were going you may have be a hazard to yourself and others.  A ticket is not the end of the world and in most places if you do not receive multiple tickets you can get it dismissed by taking a safe driving course.  Remember the roadways are for everyone so be safe and allow others to be safe also.  Good Luck!

For future reference, you need to find out how the officer knew how fast you were going.  If he got you on radar, ask to see the radar.  \nRemember that you have a right to face your accuser so that radar gun is your accuser, if it has been cleared then there is no evidence that you were truly going that fast.\n\nThis time I would go to court.  it might be nice to have some witmesses there, but you need to realize that most family member would lie to help out their son or grandson.\nBut there is a chance that the officer won't show up and in that case you again have a right to face your accuser, so most times the fine is droped or waived.  \n\nI would suggest dressing up for court, respect the Judge, he is the one who will deceide not the officer if the ticket will stand.\n\nGood luck

A officier can not legally stop you outside of his jurisdiction.\n\nIf he did not turn on his lights and siren before he crossed his state line, then it was not a legal stop.\n\nA attorney can eat this up, even including possible illegal stop and detention by the police officer
