2 Questions about the cop who stopped Jones' car:

People don't realize if you actually talk normal and admit what you did to cops, they are likely to let you off. If you are going 20 plus and try to BS the cop, you are getting a ticket. If you tell the truth, they will probably lower the ticket or give you a warning. People just hate admitting they are terrible drivers.
Never admit anything to police. It will end up in their statement and in court it will sound like a confession of guilt. You have a right to remain silent. Most of the time if you don't admit to doing something and the court only has the cop's word to go on a good attorney will get it tossed out.

Cops that write tickets and make arrests get promotions.
 
fyi if u know u will fail a breathalyzer, do not take it. there may be some bad fines, worse than a dui, but there's no proof of a dui.
Really? Always wondered how that goes down.... Anything else to add ?
 
if a cop ever asked you if you know how fast you were going, always say "no officer, how fast was i going?"
No that doesn't work that great. Answering no tells them you had no idea how fast you were going. That sounds reckless. Gotta give a number 10-15 mph slower than you were really going.
 
The biggest puzzler of all is how the hell Jon Jones has a license at all. Not even a year suspension after multiple drunken crashes, one of which was into a pregnant lady and then fled the scene?
 
I think it's only because ABQ is small and he has a lot of friends on the force that he'd try that. I have to believe that when he goes home to Endicott or wherever he doesn't think he can talk to cops like that indiscriminately and not be gambling with his health or the existence.
Oh god absolutely. up in the north east? Cuss at a cop after DWB? He'd be dead
 
Why did the officer never say what his radar caught Jones going? Didn't mention it once.
It wasn't his overall speed, it was his rate of acceleration and the accompanying noise of spinning tires and a non stock exhaust.
 
Anyone that knows about law... Did Jones really have to sign the tickets? Or could he have said I'm signing them under duress? Cause the officer did say... U gotta sign them or u will go to jail. Sounded like a threat to me.
It doesn't really make any sense not to sign them, you are not admitting to anything by signing them.
 
I don't think he fooled the device, but he certainly seemed under the influence of something. Too bad those devices can't check for everything. I just hope he doesn't hurt any other innocent people while he runs around acting foolish. He has millions of dollars but refuses to hire a driver. That would protect everyone including himself. Very selfish.

Good thing there are guys like Officer Brown on the roads instead of busting all the meth labs around ABQ, NM

They probably don't expect officers assigned to traffic patrol to also bust meth labs at the same time unless they're some kind of super cop. I think it's funny that people are angry and outraged that Jones is getting more traffic citations. He's already proven he is a horrible driver and shouldn't have a license.

If you're a guy on probation with 2 prior criminal driving convictions you're better off being upfront and honest with the cop than assuming your lawyer is going to convince the judge to believe anything you have to say over the officer's depiction of events.

Cops are just out collecting money for the machine
 
You can talk shit as long as you don't give them a good reason to consider you a physical threat. Because if they can justify that, they can arrest you. This dude had a bodycam, which would be used as evidence and prove that Jones was nowhere near threatening--just foul-mouthed.

No. You're attorney is going to say shut the hell up. I'm a paralegal. I go through statements everyday at work. My bosses always prefer clients don't say anything. Just say thank you, accept whatever the police do, and let us (the legal professionals) beat it in court. "Anything you say can and will be used against you in court." That is not a joke statement. That is heart attack serious. I'd say 80% of all people who get convicted in court get convicted by their own words.

If you are going to talk than do what Jones did. Deny, deny, deny.

The cop was trying to get Jones to admit to drag racing knowing in court it's impossible to prove drag racing without the other party (other drag racer). How can the cop prove Jones was drag racing? Everything he did people do all the time without drag racing. The cop was trying to Jones to tell on himself. Once again, never admit anything to the police. Of course I'm not talking about simple traffic offenses but drag racing is a misdemeanor and carries jail time if convicted.

Your word vs the cop's word with no other evidence but the cop's word gets tossed out 100% of the time. A cop's word is not proof/evidence.
 
He did not look or act sober at all. Mebbe those interlock devices can be fooled.

They can. My buddy who was nailed for drinking and driving owned his own pizza shop and had to have one installed in his car because he did do deliveries at times. He figured it out.
