i just got pulled over infront of my house. the cop said i ran the red light, why would i run it when he is sitting right there its like 2 am, im baked...yeah lemme run a light infront of you. that light turned yellow and i stayed the course. when it was red i had already passed the first set of lines and i was in the middle of the intersection, no one else. just me and the cop. i might have heard wrong, but i always thought that after i pass the first set of lines and it turns red that its legit, for texas.... i asked him if there were cameras posted at the lights and he just said like a cock "theres a cam on my car" i highly doubt that car cam that was aimed to the left, the opposite direction of the light, caught the supposed running of the red light on film. i say it was pointed to the left cause he was going to make a left turn till he saw me. its also the town i live in, the cops here having nothing to do at night time. and they all know me. they always try to get me good but i never give em a chance, ive pwned them many times...maybe i just deserve something like this. lifes odd lately....

Agreed.

You perceive yourself as better, but I would put money down saying you're not.

It's better than drinking and driving, but that not really saying anything...

I got pulled over for the exact same thing a while back...I was in the middle of the intersection, making a left turn, and the cop pulled me over for running a red light....$180 ticket here in Florida

180 isnt too bad, the tax return can handle it. you guys on the cops side or mine? i dunno what the exact law is, but there are lots of loopholes. i always thought that once you passed the first white lines as its yellow you are legit. ive been doing it for years

EDIT: forgot about the damn insurance rates,even though i dont have insurance and got a ticket for that last month. i better start playing the lottery lol.

Harassing who? The guy was under an influence, driving with no insurance and ran a redlight. To me that sounds like someone who needs police attention.

Seeing as how you were stoned, how do you know that you crossed the line in time?
I'm gonna have to side with the cops on this one, driving with no insurance, OUI, and you probably did run a red light. If you're going to smoke weed, stay at home and do it, you have no one to blame but yourself.
