I got off work around 4am yesterday, I'm a valet so I work very late. I was driving my friend home because he doesn't have a car and he lives in South Philly. I got pulled over on 6th and Mifflin and I had no clue why the officer pulled me over in the first place. He didn't say anything after I handed him my insurance, registration and license; he just hands me a ticket and goes quickly back. I looked at the ticket and it says Disregard stop sign.

But I know for sure, and I'm 100% sure that I stopped at the stop sign. I remember there was another car driving on 6th street, perpendicular to Mifflin, which came to the stop sign at the same time I came up to the one on Mifflin. The driver had his right turn signal on, so I flashed my lights to let him go first. Then I proceeded to go and a few seconds later I'm pulled over.

Should I mail in a check for the full amount and plead not guilty, or should I just send in 50 bucks with not guilty? The officer did not say anything about points but I think that is 3 points and I can't afford them along with the other ticket I got in June for going 5 miles over speed limit on Woodhaven.

Maybe its just because I drive a red 3000gt and I'm getting sick of having a sports car already, but no one really knows if that myth is true or not.

According to google this is a Mitsubishi? I am seriously considering trading in my silver, Nissan Altima old man car for a red Mustang convertible (but not a GT or V-8) and have been worried about this very thing. I haven't had a ticket in 20 years. My previous car was a grey, Toyota Corolla.

I know your car is a "sports" car, but why is this thread in the sports section? Was Lito Sheppard moonlighting as a police officer in the 4th district?

Yea.....it should have been in South Philly......but anyone can make a mistake, even a mod.

yeh it is a mitsubishi. I would keep the altima. My friend who was with me will be going to court with me. I really don't need the points. I put this here because I saw another thread related to such thing.

Maybe this should be next to the thread with people complaining about motorists rolling through stop signs in South Philly.
