As stated earlier, a lot of property owners hate punk assed kids flying by their houses with their f***ing punk ass 4 cylinder rat-a-tat-tat engines in their over-lit, bass thumping rap-crap music shit-box Honda Civics or what not.
So the property owner welcomes the cop to sit there and pick the f***ers off so that their 5 year old child doesn't eventually get flattened into a grease spot by some pseudo-rich white punk wearing an earing and an Allen Iverson jersey.

brilliant description of my town, suburban new york city. what is with these wanna be gansters and their crappy cars anyway? used to be a car had to have performance to be cool. what losers.
Ok, so I was driving today and I got a ticket for 10 over. The cop told me where he was parked. First, I have a great driving record, never been pulled over. Second, he told me where he was parking, when I went back and looked at it, it was private property. I didn't think they could sit in private property and pull you over, is it worth fighting?
no, because you were still speeding and breaking the law, no matter where he was parked.
Does that mean I can't fight it, or you just think because I was speeding I shouldn't? He was parked in a private drive.
What state? How much was the ticket? I believe you should always fight the ticket. If you're in Ma the ticket should be $100. The first 10 miles over is $50 and another $50 for the Head & Injury Fund. Plus 6 years of surcharges on your insurance. And never admit to speeding. 10 miles over seems weak to me. I'm surprised he even ticketed you.
Your previously spotless driving record has absolutely no bearing. As to parking, I don't know. I wouldn't hang my hat on it.
Plus court costs. That's where they get you. No one wants to go to court for a $20 ticket when they add on $100+ in court costs so they just pay it before the court date. It's July 22nd, quota time, they will pull you over.

In Michigan....If I don't admit to speeding it is just my word against his. He was sitting in a driveway that had signs that read "Private Property, Keep out"
just take defensive driving
i fought a ticket in pa the other day. if the cop doesn't show up, you win. i was hoping just to avoid getting points and was going to ask for that. immediately, i was asked if the issue was points or what. he offered to lower the charge where i got no points and had the fine reduced. it took less than a minute. they had tons of people fighting tickets in that morning and just wanted to move things along. i encourage everyone to fight their tickets to clog up their hearings, so that they will offer deals to keep things moving.
fighting a ticked would be hard. A ticked sounds like they would be pretty pissed off about something!
Take defensive driving? How will that get me out of the ticket? Can I offer to take it as a sort of plea? I was hoping to get it reduced to 9 over...Also, he said I was going 16 over, there was no way I was but he wrote clocked at 16 over on the ticket, then wrote me up for 10 over. They can't write me up for more because they get mad i am fighting it can they?

so you didn't really fight anything - you plead down the charge.
this is a standard deal to just about anyone who has gotten a speeding ticket and shows up in court - especially in PA where they have the "failure to obey speed limit" charge that has no points.
who knows - you could have actually fought the ticket and won - but you folded because you thought were getting a sweet deal. they suckered you in.
you sped, you lose, Game over. Fight the ticket but you will not have rightousness on your side. You may however have a bit of luck. I would just pay the damn thing but then again Im lazy.
Does insurance go up at all over a simple speeding ticket...i just got one and I am 21 years old clean record
I thing you're sposed to light its rear with a match & it backs out of wherever it borrowed into ya.

If I fight the ticket I have to pay court cost?!?

It doesn't have to be the same cop. I fought a ticket once and the police department had just assigned a single cop to be there for all tickets. Not the guy who has issued them, just a representative
if the cop shows up, you will lose. if you lose, you pay court costs, which are quite often higher than the ticket itself.
