It's even worse with sigs on but images off.

Porsche-O-Phile:
"How did you have a cop on your left and turn left in front of him and not get nailed for that?"

Allow me to clarify: We were stopped at a four way stop, at night. I got there first. There was a car on my left, stopped, waiting for me to go. I signalled left, turned, accelerated, and then saw that it was a county sheriff's car. I was doing less than thirty when I let off the gas. Boxsters throw a lot of engine noise out the left side air intake, which is why I think he pulled me over.

pcarfan944:
"Doesn't sound like harassment to me, you broke the law twice in front of a police officer."

I didn't know accelerating up to the speed limit was illegal, although apparently it is. My tires were neither smoking nor screeching. The second time, my point is, I *did* fail to use a signal. I *did not* fail to stop. Instead of citing me for something that I did, he cited me for something that I did not do.

(BTW, I have no idea how to use quotes the way you guys do.)

I was issued a ticket for disobeying a stop sign. I was the third car in line, so I had to stop. I failed to signal when I did get up to the sign and turn.

I was issued a citation that I am not guilty of, and *not* issued a citation for something that I was guilty of. Why should I have to pay for something I did not do?

because in his opinion you did not stop at the sign. Instead of giving you two tickets he gave you one. the one with points on your license.

He probably just doesn't like you, man. I mean they are human.
You need to make friends with at least one SENIOR cop at the department. Life is very good when you do this, trust me.
