Default I hate Allen cops

I got a ticket a week ago in Dallas for expired inspection. I paid for it today with a money order. I head to work not 30 minutes after dropping it off in the mail, I get pulled over by an Allen cop. I show him the receipt and previous citation. He still gave me a ticket.

Although I'm not as pissed as a coworker should be. He got a ticket for expired registration, and he had the sticker in his car, and still got a ticket. edit: In his car, not affixed to the window.

So let me get this straight, you got a ticket for expired inspection and were still driving around with an expired inspection when you were stopped again?

Of course he gave you another ticket, you had fair warning that you needed to get your car inspected. Showing him the receipt and previous citation probably insured you got the second ticket.

But I also hate most cops. I've known plenty of them and they all seem to have a napoleon complex.

I know. This is just a rant. I know I'm not supposed to drive with an expired inspection, even if I just got a ticket. Assuming you did take it in to a shop to be fixed, it could possibly take a couple days for a part to come in.

but if thats the case the shop is suppose to give you a paper saying that you attempted to get an inspection and have to wait a certain period of time due to different circumstances...i use to work at an auto shop

No it's not, if you have the sticker and are too dumb to not put it in the window you should get a ticket. That's just like if you have a cat in your trunk you were planning to install but were still driving around with a test pipe in then you should get a ticket too. Cops are stupid but some people deserve it.

Sounds like you would make a great cop.
