CHP could roll up on them and give them a ticket.
I suspect almost everyone could get out of it by claiming to forget what setting they had it on, or that they'd flipped it but the switch didn't go all the way over, or it was sticky, etc.
- function_seven 5y agoI suspect the cop will have heard all of these explanations a hundred times by the time they pull you over, and will write the ticket anyway. :)
- bradlys 5y agoDepends on how pretty you are and how much you cry.
- Fatnino 5y agoI'm scrawny with a beard. How much do I have to cry?
- JohnBooty 5y agoA few years ago a cop pulled me over and I gave him my license and registration, the usual song and dance. When he returned to my vehicle he looked at me closely and politely asked me (a non-trans male) if I was aware my driver's license specified that I was a woman. You could tell he was trying to walk the line between possibly offending me and alerting me to a fairly important clerical error. I had no idea. The DMV screwed that one up somehow when I moved to that state and they granted my new license. We both had a pretty good laugh... I said, well, does that mean I can flirt my way out of this ticket? Unfortunately (or fortunately?) the answer was an amused "sorry, no."
- bradlys 5y agoFind it funny people are downvoting this. It's a known thing. If you have any pretty friends - you can get out of tickets very easily by just being pretty and making something up. You won't have this privilege as an unattractive person. No different than being pulled over and judged differently because of your race. Police are incredibly biased.
- smachiz 5y agoonly a matter of time before this is photo enforced with recognition for humans being done by ML.
- Bud 5y agoExcept the assholes with illegally-tinted windows will ignore it and get away with it.
- rootusrootus 5y agoIf the tint is illegal, then that's what they'll get the ticket for instead.
- Bud 5y agoNo, they actually won't, at least not remotely as often. Have you ever heard of a system like this that systematically measures window tints and then tickets every single offender? No, of course you haven't.
- throwaway48375 5y agoIt's just a fix-it ticket. Just pay a cop and get it signed off.
- Analemma_ 5y agoMost traffic violations, like parking tickets, are "strict liability": mens rea doesn't matter, if the offense was committed you're getting a ticket. Presumably this will be the same.
- dehrmann 5y agoThere's no safety aspect, so they really shouldn't be. There's a big difference between "I didn't mean to go 120 in a 65" and "I forgot to change the switch on my billing transponder to '2 people.'"
- jtsiskin 5y agoThis makes no sense, because then wouldn’t every single person just say “I forgot”? Why would you ever not say “I forgot”?
- brewdad 5y agoThat's like saying "I thought I'd be done with my errand in 30 minutes" when you get a parking ticket for staying 35 minutes. It doesn't matter the excuse, you are getting the ticket and maybe you'll be more careful about it in the future.
