- Motorcycling is a tonne of fun, right up to the point where you get zapped by the po-po, maybe going a touch too fast or maybe not. Three days later, you get your certificate of achievement in the mail and a not-so-pleasant fine in tow. What’s next, cowboy? (Links and details below)

the only acceptable response to “do you know why i pulled you over” when you’re on a motorcycle is to say “i wasn’t wearing my seatbelt?”.
haha, good one!
i do not know if this is a local law or an America thing, but here the cops are required to tell you instantly why you are being pulled over. i'm sure a crafty cop or two have found a way to sneak the "how fast were you going" question in there in some other form, maybe
Unless its the BMW scooter thingy wich had seatbelt🤪 Dont know if it was ever sold in Canada tho. And if the law says you must use it since its propably the only one with seatbelt ever made. What an odd concept and luckily it didnt spread to other models.
I can't wait to use that one
@@hannutaskinen2032 bmw c1 with seatbelt:
it was actually a feature to make it more accessible- due to the belt, windshield and roll cage, you didn't need a fitting helmet or personal motorcycle clothes- perfect for a shared vehicle. It was never aimed towards the "cool and fun" market :D
I think it really made sense in that case, and it'd be nice if there where more motorcycles/ scooters aimed at "providing a good, dry, safe ride for people with limited equipment".
That'd be a way to cut down on miles traveled by car, and move the perception of motorcycles a little further from "that hobby for crazy people" to "that smart, efficient, fun way to move one or two people".
"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Because I let you?"
You don't get a speeding ticket on a klr...
unless you're in a school zone
Alabama DS unfortunatly sir, you can. Losing cargo from the milkcrate as topcase can get you a fine
Littering??? It can happen. Or what ever they want to call it.
@@joelvandingstee7962 😂
I got pulled over in 2003 on my buddies 1975 Honda 49cc pedal-start moped. Pumped up the tires rock hard and wound it out on the biggest hill in town. Did a whopping 38mph in a 30 zone. The cop just laughed at me and asked if i was going for a speed record, i had to say yes and tell him how we preped the bike for the speed run.
Oof
I'm a cop and radar/lidar instructor. I can tell you my radar and lidar doesn't care about the size or loudness of your vehicle when it displays it's target speed. To make a valid speeding citation (at least in the U.S.) you have to have an objective target speed by a certified measurement device. For radar this means it is tested at the start of shift and immediately after the stop with tuning forks.
Now if I see a motorcycle or car fly past at triple digit speeds...I can make the stop without an exact measurement for reckless operation (subjective)...but what we are talking about in this video is a standard, run-of-the-mill speeding ticket (objective).
Also, I have cited dozens of cars for speed over the years...but I can't remember ever citing a motorcyclist for speed. Speaking for my department, we love motorcycles...one of our cruisers is now sitting outside just so we can park our bikes inside during our shifts.
Edit: Other than that...pretty good advise. I don’t do the whole “do you know why I stopped you?” thing. I just introduce myself and say “the reason I stopped you is...”. Then as far as whether or not I ticket. I don’t base it on demeanor or anything like that...people have bad days, me included and I’m not looking to pile it on. I just say “do you know if you’ve been stopped for speed (or whatever the reason for stop) in the last year?” Some know, others don’t. Regardless, then I say “if you haven’t been stopped for speed in the last year in my records, I’ll get you outta here with a warning. If you have, I’ll be issuing a citation”.
Sorta makes it less personal and more based on the need to remedy poor driving habits.
Thats a really good way to do things. I know my comment is late. Similarily, I do the same thing with writing up employees at work. I go by the standard and not personal relationships, because then everything would be personal.
This is old but the point is not that the radar will see a difference, but that the majority of the time an officer is more likely to think you are speeding and try to get you on a bike than in a car, where most of the time if you aren't speeding more than everyone else around is you won't be pulled over.
But a bike doing 55 in a 45, same speed as everyone else, is actually quite likely to be pulled over instead of everyone else.
@@4fiHysteria
In CA, going the same speed as everyone else is a legal defense as long as everyone else is not driving dangerously.
I'd have loved to be treated that way. I got my first ticket 6 years after I had started driving. Cop stopped me as I was accelerating on a lane that turned into an onramp/highway. I told him I'd never had a ticket much less a warning in my 6 years of driving, I'd appreciate if just this one time he could give me a warning and I'll happily accept the ticket if there's a next time.
His response "My job isn't to give warnings" and then he also sent me to a mandatory inspection cause my bike was missing a few reflectors. IIRC he gave me only 48 hours to present for inspection or I'd receive a further fine. Oh and even better, I literally had a pack of reflectors in my backpack, I was trying to put the bike back to stock at the time so I had bought them. I told him that and he said "well then 48 hours should be plenty".
Mind you I've never met a polite cop in my city so no real surprise there. Horrible culture of rudeness and power-tripping they have.
Thing is that because motorcycle appears faster one would measure it's speed more often because they appear faster than someone next to them
This is actually not a bad video. As a cop, I often watch these for fun to see some of the hilariously bad tactics that are offered up. I did note some discrepancies but I'm sure they are just jurisdictional. For example, here in Ca, we do not attempt to make plea deals. Additionally, If I know that a lawyer is hired for defense, that does not cause me to better prepare my case, as my case is prepared for report to an open and public court room (I would always have a professional case).
The best way to beat a speeding ticket, is not to get it. Now, there are a million different kinds of departments, laws and officers that focus in different areas of enforcement. I typically am not interested in traffic (being a major metropolitan) officer, however, I will make an exception to stop an individual who is unsafe. If you're doing 100 mph in a 65 at 2 am with nobody on a desert freeway, I don't care. You are a willing participant in your own risk and are not actively endangering others. If you are doing 30 mph in a 25, weaving through traffic, dodging a pack of kids in the crosswalk all while talking on your cell phone, yeah, we're gonna have a little chat.
Also, I'll help all ya speeders out (at least for Ca). There are two categories of speed law that are broken in this state. 1. Is driving faster than the posted speed limit. and. 2. Driving at an unsafe speed. You have a snowball's chance in hell trying to beat #1. But, #2 is actually the more common one that people are cited for. This means that the Officer must clearly present a case, showing that the speed the defendant was traveling, was in fact, unsafe. This means that if you can safely travel faster than the posted speed limit, it is technically legal.
Disclaimer: I do not advocate, condone or encourage speeding or operating a vehicle in an unsafe manner. The above is just to provide insight if you happen to already be in this situation. Also, I cannot guarantee judgement by any judge or magistrate. Also, just because I probably wouldn't write you a ticket, doesn't mean that the next 10 cops you meet wouldn't.
Drive safe, ride safe, and be safe.
Cheers!

While watching this video, I found myself saying "Or just dont speed.."
How does one go about trying to negotiate a plea deal in CA? Do we ask the officer or the prosecutor? I know lawyers do it all the time.
@@IdanKashani You will typically have your lawyer present the deal to the ADA or the Officer. You can, however, in infraction cases, purpose the deal directly to the Officer if you know a lesser charge (ie, no-point charge) and the subsequent associated Vehicle Code. Most people do not know the alternate charges and would typically rely on an attorney.
I think more cops need to focus on the “is it dangerous” aspect. They’d waste people’s time far less, and their own.
Me getting a ticket when I’m going with the flow of traffic and I just got picked out of the bunch is the only way I’ve ever gotten a ticket. Is it really dangerous if everyone else is doing that speed? I’d argue it’s more dangerous to go slower than the speed of traffic and cause an obstruction. Same cop pulled me over both times about 6 months apart. Both times it was reduced to a parking ticket with the fine being doubled. It’s a money game for them, it’s not about safety. And it’s disgusting.
Policing for profit needs to end. The oath sworn by officers needs to be kept in mind more often. And more expensive mental health testing and background checking needs to be done before people are hired. Hot head ego trippers are taking over policing.

Both my parents are attorneys and I watched them get pulled over a number of times while growing up. The advice they're giving here is certainly good, especially if you're facing reckless endangerment for the speed your going. I don't ride a super-moto, I ride a DRZ400s. The kinds of tickets I'm facing are for things like, going 55mph in and 35. Everything is circumstantial and I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I'll tell you what I've found. If I get pulled over for speeding because I was trying to pass someone because it seemed they weren't paying attention, I'll be honest with the officer. That combined with finding a safe spot to pull over, they're going to understand that you're just out trying to have a little safe fun and you'd probably rather go a little faster to avoid someone on their phone than slow down. I can't even count how many warnings I've gotten over the years instead of actual tickets. Maybe the police are more understanding where I live, can't really be sure. There are a lot of variables and this video is certainly a good baseline. My point is, use your best judgment for the situation and above all, give them no reason to be nervous.
any chance they know who your parents are?
@@Misterzen87 I didn't start riding until I'd lived in another state for years, so there's no chance they know my parents.
If you are doing 55 in a 35 I hope you get pulled over and ticketed. Who the hell are you to create dangers for others simply because you prefer to ignore posted speed limits.
How did you manage to observe your parents while they were growing up?
a lot of stuff can sway a cop's opinion, definitely dependant on age and demeanor, also WHERE YOU LIVE IS VERY IMPORTANT. i live in a small town, everyone knows everyone, the cops know my parents, and the cops have known me since i was in middle school, so when i get pulled over, it's just them telling me to contain myself and be careful, and then we both drive off. for context i live in a town of 2,000 people. i feel like the bigger of a town you live in, the less likely you are to find a cop who will be understanding of your situation.
“My bike looks like a rolling violation” fcking brilliant 🤣
I died laughing at this one 😂
He didn’t come up with that he just used it
@@g496r500t and? still a funny line
As a police officer, this is a great presentation of the point of law. Just remember that those officers that write violations tickets are quite comfortable in court as compared to the disputant (certificate of achievement holders). Well done and excellent points by Kyla Lee of Acumen Law.
You mean the ones that show up.
If I take it to court, I'll be represented. As the old phrase says, "A man who is his own lawyer, has a fool for a client."
the only problem is cops are allowed to lie and normally have no consequences for lying in court
As a police officer, does the "just following orders" excuse make it easy to sleep at night when you assault good people in the name of unjust laws passed by corrupt beaurocrats? Or is it "just a job" that "they'd just get someone else to do"? Hope the pension is worth it.

I always talk to the officers. When they ask me if I know how fast I was going, I'll answer by saying something along the lines of 'evidently fast enough to draw your attention' or something similar. I try to answer with a positive attitude and engage the officer in a conversation. If (s)he's having a bad day, I try to make it better for them. A good joke can help too. I've found that this approach works better than any other and, if I do get a ticket, the officer will typically reduce the charge right there from what (s)he told me my violation was. Just remember that cops are people too.
that's good advice. others may think down on us for this but it's just basic human psychology. cops are used to dealing with the worst in us, so a genuinely nice interaction with a normal citizen could prompt some respect back from them. so long as they don't notice the bodies, of course
It really does come down to the good old stand by. Don't be a dick.
You know the drill. License, registration, and proof of insurance. Stop somewhere where they won't be in danger talking to your dumbass. Just because you have the right to not speak doesn't mean it's the best strategy.
cinematography in your videos is "breathtaking" whomever is editing these can work in movies
Aiming for Top Gun 3 where Tom Cruise realizes he doesn't need jets to fly.
I've never had a speeding ticket in my entire life. The simple fact is, that I do not speed (on purpose). I rather go slower and enjoy myself than always be on the "lookout" for speed traps. With all that being said, I found myself going a bit faster than I wanted to, on a number of occasions, while riding my motorcycle. It's easier to surpass the speed limit on a bike, especially at lower speeds. Going 50 km/h on a 800CC bike, one needs to pay attention. Just a squeeze of that throttle and you're doing more in a heartbeat. One of the best ways to stay within the limit is cruise control. It's a great way to "set and forget" while doing long rides. Thanks for the video Ryan!

great video, what you said at the end reminds me of my dad, he was traffic police in the 70's , times have changed but humans havn't.

He was always amazed how people always complain about being caught when breaking the law. Either way, man up, girl up, learn from it. Thanks.

I had a mate whose father kept a notebook and recorded every traffic infringement of police he saw.
Parking, speeding, traffic violations etc. Time, date, location.
I don't know how he did it exactly, whom he spoke with or the exact words used but he never paid a speeding ticket when he made it known he had a book with years of records.
He also made use of a loophole in vehicle registration in our country that allows you to register a vehicle for use as a tractor or agricultural equipment to be used on the road within a radius of, or driving between plots of land.
He had a bunch of paddocks here and there.
What an inspiring old bugger.

00:42 I completely agree with her on the "Louder means speeding". My 2004 nissan sentra had broken flizible pipe that morning, was on my way to school/class and scheduled an appointment to get it fixed later that day. It was a 25mph road and a couple of cops were standing outside attending some other car. I had my windows rolled down.
I drove 25mph (I'm not stupid to drive faster than that in a residential area and not dumb enough to driver faster even after I see police) anyway, the police yelled at me " drive slowly", I said, sure. I accelerated what sounded like I'm doing 65mph, while I was merely doing 5mph and I saw the face of the other cop who was near my window understood what went wrong. lol.
Kyla is very articulate and a pleasure to listen to. :)
I don't live in your part of the world but I think these types of videos are extremely important.

Man, I wish I'd seen this video 10+ years ago when my (then) bike got impounded; I only found out later that the traffic stop itself was illegal. It was a small consolation though when I found out that the officer in question had been fired for leaving his firearm by the side of the road :-|
First ASK the officer if it's alright to remove your helmet. He takes that as a sign of respect.
(But leave it on if it'll expose your Charles Manson swastika between your eyes).
In America, that will help your case lol.
"Excuse me while I whip this out" might be another way to say it but you'll probably still get the ticket.

In USA they need a warrant for ur recording device. Only thing we need to say is "I'm exercising my right to remain silent."
Yah, the video has good advice on how to deal with the legal system if, and when, you get caught.
Seems some here are in denial though as to whether motorcyclists break the law, or should get punished when they do. It's really all about using good judgement on when and where to 'push the limits'. I've done my share, as many other riders have, but by using good judgement have gotten very few tickets, and more importantly, have had very few close calls where there was a risk of an accident and/or injury to myself or others.
It does seem that when you watch the UA-cam vids on motorcycle near misses, the bikes are typically travelling well above the speed limits, and doing things like lane-splitting at much higher speeds than the rest of the traffic. Then they blame the other drivers for moves which put them at risk...
Good to know information. Plus the mustache looked good on you. 😁
that's true about picking the right spot, i pulled into a parking lot once instead of just pulling off the highway and the guy was a lot more at ease
Good advise. Thanks for the video.
When a cop pulls you over you want to make oinking noises at him while mushing your nose up with your middle finger.
That is how you double the fine
you guys have trials for speeding tickets?
Yes up in canadia we do
Yup every ticket is given with a court date you can either choose to fight it or pay the fine
You can do that almost anywhere...

@JoMan I just got a speeding ticket up in Vermont/New Hampshire. The cops here seem to have a lot of free time on their hands since nothing happens their usually. My thing is, I crossed a bridge from Vermont into New Hampshire and they mentioned they could call another officer since the infraction happened before i got to the bridge. I decided to fight this since it's a pricy ticket.

Seriously cutest ever lawyer!! Great video as always sir Ryan.
Never thought a video about speeding tickets could be this interesting. Job well done😌😌😌
I hired a lawyer one time and he got the ticket reduced. Since then I have never hired a lawyer. It is very difficult to get out of a ticket but it is easy to get it reduced. Sometimes reduced in MPH over the speed limit or in two my cases I got one reduced from 20 miles over to a defective speedometer and another was speeding in a school zone I got reduced to disorderly conduct. Neither one was classified as a traffic violation in my state. It is all about the money, I would rather give them $120.00 than $250.00. The speedometer one actually worked in my favor. My insurance company canceled my insurance, I appealed and told them the reason I got those speeding tickets was because I had a defective speedometer and if you check my record you will see I was ticketed for that. I since had it fixed. They did not cancel my insurance.
Just as the lawyer said louder objects appear to be going faster, some goon went thundering by on a Harley. Three blocks away, I heard every shift
I love the comedy, you should make short movies i am buying them !
I can listen to her speak all day
A very funny legal system you have in North America, I must say.
In most European countries, once the case is in court, there are no more deals to be made with any officer whatsoever anymore. The district or state attorney is taking over the role of charging you in the name of the state and the cop who brought the case forward is relegated to a mere witness role (and usually they do not even have to show up, as their written report is considered valid testimony).
If you want to tweak anything around the case, your spot-on performance during the initial halt is the only place: Be friendly, be humble, be respectful and the cop might let you drive off with a warning or a smaller fine.
Once you are in court, be friendly, be humble, be respectful to the JUDGE.
Ok, now I'm almost positive you're from or visit BC frequently. It's a beautiful place.
Officer, is this a fine I pay you or at the courthouse?
Like a bribe?
No, no, no... Just an "on the spot" fine. Very common in South East Asia. Its just a police initiative designed to reduce unnecessary and cumbersome paperwork; saving your time and theirs.
@@vegetabulls278 Seeing the population numbers of Asia I could understand that measure but at same time it doesn't sound right. I've got 2 speeding tickets in my life, one was debatable but I still paid it online. I would honestly prefer to pay online than give money to someone, even if it is a police officer.
@@LilGamingYes haha hes just trying to sell the bribe. its illegal to attempt to bribe but promise me if you word it right Oklahoma cops take cash for the fine if i "dont know where or who im supposed to pay" saves them paperwork and saves me money on my insurance rates. not to mention it pads the pockets of our boys in blue.

Great job y’all! You can tell the hard work that was put into this video. 👍👍
In the US (or at least Washington state), a ticketing officer does not need to appear at the courtroom hearing; his written affidavit can stand in for him.
For a speeding ticket, if you have a clean record for the past seven(?) years, you have the opportunity to pay a greatly reduced fee, and the infraction will not go on your record. Tickets are public record, and unscrupulous lawyers will find your infraction and contact you by phone or mail, offering to represent you and keep your record clean. They of course will not tell you that you already have the forementioned opportunity without their "help".
Excellent advice. Very impressed.
Thank you; amazingly informative.
"I'm sorry, officer. I........ didn't know I couldn't do that."
Works every time.
well, now you know! now, move it
man i missed you, keep the videos coming
fun fact: the delay in Germany is 3 months (for driving to fast) - its called "verjähren". Verjähren means that basically that thing you did is still illegal. But because there is no public interest there is no trial. We have different delay times for different things (if you own somebody money - 2 years etc.)
So its common that if a speed camera gets you, the letter with a fine takes longer than 3 month. You still have to pay but they have no power to enforce it and nothing happens to you. But every letter you get the 3 months start new ;)
we would add a couple things, having worked in BC as a cop for 33 years, first, I would ask the officer if he is qualified to operate the radar and model he was using when he caught you for speeding, I would also ask him the certificate of completion of the radar course. Some officers always forget to bring a copy in Court. So if he can prove he has successfully completed the course, the evidence he is presenting in Court; the speed he has recorded on the radar will be deemed inadmissible and the ticket will be thrown out. Also, was the radar calibrated that day before he caught your speed. There are two means to calibrate the radar: 1-internally; the radar calibrates itself when it is turned on and display the results on the screen. 2- Using tuning forks, now this is an old way to calibrate a radar unit but nevertheless, I believe it still being done.
That attorney is the prettiest real lawyer I've ever heard of
I usually lawyer up and keep quiet. Got out of 3/4 tickets. Only time I didn’t get out was the first time when I didn’t know you can fight tickets.
Wish there were a US version of this great, informative video!
In the U.S. (at least in my state) you can just go see a hearing officer and describe if there was any misunderstanding. If anything, where I am from, they let you sign a form that says you won't get any more moving violations for 1 year, and the infraction won't go on your record. You'll still have to pay the fine, but it won't go on your record causing your auto insurance to increase.
Simply brilliant. Thank you dp
If police catched you, better call saul
0:29 WAIT A MINUTE...If they can't 'See' us, or so they say...... how do we 'appear' to be going faster... ???
Simple. The people pulling that load of crap out of their rear ends are attorneys that don't ride motorcycles. When I pass radar signs on roads, I have to be 30 feet closer to the radar before it picks me up, and it usually picks me up as going slightly slower, so there's no real backing for the whole "small vehicle go faster" thing.
I’ll remember this if I’m ever caught speeding in BC.... long way from where I’m living. Most of it applies here too .
Brilliant video. Brilliant lawyer. Thanks to both for the content.
I must be the odd one out… All of my experiences with police have been excellent, and extremely quick. Even when I’ve been in the wrong, I’ve been let off with a warning.
First time, Caught driving while only on permit, and restricted from driving at night: Officer even saw me PUSH my car out of the driveway, and suspected me of grand theft auto. I showed my papers, and he still let me go.
Second time, speeding down the freeway and doing donuts in a parking lot: Officer stopped me after having followed me while speeding at night (I didn’t know he was behind me all that time) and watched me do donuts in a parking lot for several minutes. He stopped me when I was about to leave. No ticket.
Third time, speeding again: This time I was in my mom’s BF’s truck. Doing 55 in a 35. No ticket.
Fourth time, speeding again: Officer stopped me while I was speeding in a school zone. No ticket.
Fifth time, expired license plate tags: This one I did get a ticket for, but it was only a fine, since it wasn’t actually a traffic violation.
Sixth time, most recent, and last interaction, speeding and attempting to pass in a left-turn ONLY lane: Officer literally caught me in the act, on the opposite direction of traffic. I knew I was in trouble, and I stopped immediately. I was also armed, and had my gun in plain view. Michigan has a Duty To Disclose, and I completely forgot to tell the officer. Despite all of that, I was still let go with a simple warning.
All of this was to say, I personally believe it’s all about how you treat the Officer. If you act like a dick, you’re far more likely to get a ticket. But if you’re cordial, and respectful, make the cop’s job as easy as possible, he’ll work with you, and you’ll be more likely to get a warning, instead of a ticket.
Just my personal experience.
Hello, So Cal motor officer here: We’re trained to estimate speed. We verify our estimation with radar or lidar (laser), which are tested every shift and calibrated with documentation.
Thanks.
GREAT CONTENT, MAN!!! Keep em coimin.
Love the Revzilla reference and the Lemmy burn!!! SICK frickin burn, dude. So funny.
Looks like a documentary lol
Very good advice. Silence is ALWAYS Golden when yanked! More importantly (hooligans) don't be douche about.
What an amazing video. Great job all around!
I've gotten a ticket for the wrong license plate, wrong vehicle, and definitely wrong speed but correct name. I sadly didn't realise they request you twice for court appearance so after I made my case in front of a befuddled cop the first time explaining why I was not guilty, the second time the cop "found" a note that he "wrote" saying "wrong car on the ticket but correct person and speed." I argued that there was no way I was going that speed and it wasn't even my car on the ticket but the judge didn't care and believed in the magic note and I lost the case. It still upsets me that you can do everything right and all it takes is for a cop to make up fake evidence and you're instantly guilty.
I remember Kyla Lee when she used to work at the neighborhood Safeway
"certificate of achievement" HAHAHAHAHAHA good one!
We had a guy actually use a ticket like that. I was on a ride-along with one of our officers (I was a dispatcher in a small department, we were a pretty close-knit group) running traffic on the edge of town in AZ. A kid in a turbo-charged souped up sports car , it's been too many years now to recall exactly what it was, (and I'm pretty sure he wasn't street legal at this point, but in those days we didn't really sweat people over that as much as they do now), came roaring out of the desert at over 180 mph. We were looking at the radar gun like WTF!?! and tapping it, etc. lol We hit the overheads, and the kid pulls right over. Smart move. We talk to him a bit, and he seems OK, so the officer is going "I'm going to give you a break, this road is rated at 110, so I'm going to write the ticket for 110 and save you a LOT of trouble with your license and your insurance company." The kid refused! He wanted the full ticket as proof of how fast that car could go! We did our best to talk him out of it, but he insisted. Last I heard he lost his license for 6 months, and his insurance was through the roof, but he had that ticket framed on his wall. >facepalm
I find the lawyer so attractive, that's insane!
You (and the rest) really need to get out more. ;)
Drives, not rides, to the lawyer's office?? Unsubscribing!
(Just kidding) Great video, Ryan and Aneesh.
I've generally had really good luck in traffic court.. my last encounter involved the dismissal of the entirety of a 19 point ticket.
19 points? Where do u live
@@R1___ Denver.. iirc, I got driving while suspended, no ins, no reg, and one other. I was riding a scooter I’d just purchased and was unaware of my suspended status. I got a decent lawyer and took care of everything before court.
