What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I was issued a citation in Philadelphia yesterday and need some opinions....I was making a left turn with the turn arrow in my favor. A police officer was holding back stadium crowds with his back to the street and myself. I was 3/4 of the way across the intersection into my turn when the officer waved the crowds on into the street without realizing I was there. Once he realized it and turned around I was already halfway past him. My passenger told me that he motioned for me to stop but at that point I was past him. I so I just proceeded to about a half block to my parking lot where I was followed by an irate officer who proceeded to ask my why I failed to stop at his hand signals. I am not really sure why he asked since he did not want to hear anything that I had to say.....I dont think his failure to check behind him before waving crowds into the street is something that I should have to pay for for the next few years in insurance premiums.
Some other thing that I wanted to point out are:
1. He didnt use my correct address from my correction card handed to him with my license.
2. He never had me sign the citation.
3. In box# 61(total due) he put 3102 which appears to be the violation number and not the amount due.
4. In box# 62(Section/sub sec.) he put 118 which appears to be the total due and not the violation sec/sub sec.
This is my first citation and am willing to fight it to save the potential two point on my license. Thanks for any suggestions. Good or BADWhat is the name of your state?
