*Rant o' the Day* v.Protein, Pigs and Problems

Decided to drive to Dundas/Dixie area to pick up some protein powder. The shop closed down. Great. Whatever, i’ll just drive to Sherway Gardens.

Driving back on Dundas towards the 427 and West Mall, as a Peel region cruiser is in the carpool lane. Im in the middle lane, but i have to turn right eventually, so i just signal and go in front of him. Im not speeding, nor did i cut him off. Of course i get nervous with a cop car near me, since i have had bad history before with Ontario’s Finest. But i know im clean, so whatever.

I go in the right lane, 5 seconds after, the fucker lights up his cherries. I’m like wtf, does he want me to get out of the way??? WTF. So i pull over. Im wondering if my brake light is out, or there’s a dead hooker falling out of the trunk. After 3 mins of me sitting in my car and playing the guessing game, he decided to finally get out and come to my window. I had to turn the A/C and car off to save gas, so i had the window down. And we all know how hot it was today, and polluted since i was in a high traffic zone.

Anyways he comes up to the window and asks where i came from, i said i was checking the gym to see if they had any protein powder. And driving to Sherway. Asks if it’s my car, i say no, it’s the old man’s. He goes on to tell me that the license plate sticker is expired. I tell him my dad’s birthday is July 5th. He informs me that the expiration is on the day of, not at the end of the month. Then he asks if i have been in trouble before, I say yeah, i’ve had tickets before. He wants to know why and when. I play dumb and say maybe speeding. :hsugh: He says “No, i mean have you been arrested before?”. WTF? No, i cant afford to be arrested, it would jeopardize my education.

Finally he tells me to “hold on, bro” as he walks back to his car. 10 more mins of sitting in the car and me muttering under my breath. Oh and i can’t/won’t get out of the car to check the license plate, because of the traffic and heat. Some idiot driver was too blind to see the cops cherries and pulled up right behind him. And spent a few mins trying to merge into the other lane. :rolleyes:

Well the cop comes back and i see a ticket in his hand. F.u.c.k!
He gives me the ticket and tells me, that since im the one driving the car, the ticket is issued to me. Wonderf*ckingful! And he assures me that if i get the plate registered today or tomorrow, the court will just throw it out. Ok. But now i have to waste more time dealing with this.

He hands me the ticket, and then leaves. I go pick up my stuff from GNC, go home and then bitch to my old man. He tells me to look at the plate. The fucking sticker says “July 07”. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKK!!!

Im fcking livid. Clearly the guy was trying to meet a quota, but for fcks sakes. Use your f*cking head. Now i still gotta deal with this court bullshit. And maybe miss time from school or work. Arghh. Do i have a sign on me saying “Pull me over, officer” ? Even when i cut down on driving, i still get shafted. And it’s some POS Dodge too. Nothing flashy. So imagine when im driving a red, loud, 2 dr car. Oh and i was shaven, so i didnt look like i was about to start a Jihad. Although i was wearing my aviators. :?

So yeah, that’s my rant. Kinda pissed that i was really trying to clean up my act, and got shafted for something that wasn’t even my fault. If i did something wrong, i would accept it, and just beat myself up over it. Oh well, maybe a few hours of Vice City will help.

Oh and since he wasted some of my time, i was running late and didnt get a chance to eat. Plus i had to bike to work. I get to work after a grueling ride today, due to the wind and traffic. But that’s okay, i get to work and suffered a mild heatstroke and rested for about an hour. :ugh2: I just couldnt wait to get home and light up a spliff.

Needless to say im in a foul mood, and my aggression will be taken out on all the noobs. Anyways that is the end of my rant. Thanks for reading.

Oh and the power keeps going down here. Not that i mind that much. I prefer crying in the dark.

LOL @ crying in the dark! :lol:

That’s really annoying, I had a similar experience doing my driving test back in the day. It ended before it started for the same reason. Buddy tells me “your test is over” and I hadn’t even moved yet…twas due to my mom’s expired plate sticker. :slight_smile:

Try not to let it get to ya… :wink:

You DO know pork is a source of protein, right? Coulda killed two birds with one stone.

he’s wrong anyways, go to court its the end of the month… that July 07 is July of 2007 meaning you dont need to do shit.

just go fight it and he wont even show up.

check to see if you have the tag in your car from when your dad got the stickers, if you do see if there is a date on it or see if there is a recipt. Then just call the station and leave a message for him.

similar stuff happend to be but more to an extreme

i bought a car, tried to get a 10day but my insurance slip was not up to date because state farm are fucking assholes and didnt send me a new one.
the bitch at the mto said come back tomorrow were closing in 15min and so is the isurance company (I asked her to call them to confirm). I couldnt go back the next day, and i have this car that i just bought. so i said fuck it ill take the 20min drive home. I know people that do this all the time, and i know people who have driven for years with no insurance or expired tags. Atleast i have insurance because im covered for 2 weeks withought informing the insurance company that i bought a new car.
anyway, tire goes flat on the way home. Cop stops, notices my 240 plates on the car, calls the car in stolen,asks for insurance. i show him the invalid slip but tell him i have insurance. he writes me up for having no insurance and no plates. go to court last nov, it happened last sept. Anyways, i show them my new insurance slip and give them a copy of the policy that states im covered for 2 weeks. They say thats not good enough proof when i go to court… WTF!

longer story short

I had full insurance
I had tried to do everything correct for once instead of breaking the law
I end up getting fucked in the ass

almost a year in court and its not closed yet

$850 in layer fees so far.

just because some fat government bitch at the MTO wanted to go home early.

btw im still facing fines of up to $5000 if im somehow convicted of having no insurance.
$110 for invalid plates

fuck the government.

yea exactly hes the f uck that messed up id say not only fight it but demand reparations for wasting your time and suffering in that heat
I thought my car was gonna get crushed the other day when i got pulled over for similar such nonsense of my dad taking my sticker and putting his on my car

:werd:

F u c k em! Goddamn bullies.

owned

this is bullsh|t, stories like this piss me off :-/

Don’t jump man, karma will take over from here.

Shit like this makes me feel better about the type of day I have been having so far today, …good work Nutta.

Seriously …that sucks man.
The good thing is that ticket will be instantly thrown out, you don’t even have to go to court, just try to find the receipt from MTO that they gave your dad when he renewed the plates and make an appointment to see the prosecutor and just bring it to him and explain what happened , he will dismiss the case before it even goes to court. If you can’t find the receipt tell you dad to go to MTO and they should be able to provide him with a document stating when he renewed the plates and the expire date.

I went throught the same thing 2 years ago only I renewed my plates but forgot to put the sticker on because I renewed my plates in January but I don’t take my 240sx till April so I forgot to put it on. I lost the receipt so I went to MTO and had them make me a receipt and I made an appointment to see the prosecutor and I showed him what happend and he dismissed the case before it went to trail.
You will save your time and tax payers money!
All this still suck because of the time wasted, but what can you do?
