Thats insane, that much for 7 over? Its not even the end of the month for crying out loud!

VulcanCouple · 06-13-2007, 04:44 PM

Ouch that blows!

De-railer · 06-13-2007, 05:26 PM

I think that's the minimum. Also if you have a decent driving record and you pay it quickly they will halve it to make it look like they're doing you a favor.

Speeding in eburg at night is like a death sentence waiting to be handed down. LOL. In 12 square miles you have Kittitas County, WSP, Eburg, and CWU police.

Me and Will were riding the other night and came up behind an Ellensburg cop. He pulled over just to then get behind us and follow us

. This sucks! and they are only getting worse.

out of control..

Itchy cops are the best reason to dodge college towns.

The parties generally make up for it though, so I guess you have to take the good with the bad.

mikeysfun · 06-15-2007, 09:08 PM

as I said before, welcome to ellensburg... it's not getting worse, it's been this way since 1989 when i moved here at the age of 5... when i got my licence, i was pulled over 18 times between 16 and 18 years old, and 16 of those were after 9 pm... you just learn to get used to it and know that if you do anything out of line, they WILL pull you over.

The reasoning behind it all is DUI patrols... it used to be that an offender would get out of a DUI because the officer pulled them over after profiling them and it would hold up in court because the stop was typically made for one of those silly things (25 in a 20, tail light out, failure to signal lane change, failure to signal 100 feet before a turn - i love that one) and then in court the judge would throw out the case because the officer had rarely made that stop before, therefore his purpose was simply to see if the driver was intoxicated, and they can't do that legally because it's discriminatory and profiling. So, in order to battle that situation, officers were instructed in Ellensburg and kittitas county to pull over any suspect vehicle for any reason, which they can do. This way once the offender comes into court, he can't plead profiling or discrimination because the officer has a high number of stops for related offenses.

Make sense?

Ellensburg is a DUI town, they are generally looking for those. This is why that billboard at the west interchange says how many DUI arrests they've made in the past year... something like 600+

Just take my advice and ignore them by following the rules in town. Out of town is a different story because you can almost expect that in the evenings, all departments (WSP, county, city, and campus) are all on DUI patrols in town (except for the freeway on friday and saturday nights, but only close to town, never out aways because they have to get back quickly for DUI patrols).

I just got another ticket in the canyon. 63mph paced. Fucking sheriff. Haven't been to town in months and this is what I get.

Sheehan is going to eburg for me though. He just got my last one dropped a few days ago. (Another speeding)

I'm also one of those numbers on that board... Fuck I have bad luck.

Soooo Sheehan will be coming to town if you can get the same date you might get a break. I just sent him the ticket.
