Seen some sitting on the side of the road when coming back from the track tonight they were sitting off the road with no lights on..... Shouldn't they at least have their parking lights on....I was just going a little over the speed limit maybe 4-5 miles over they looked but only for a second....Them and the cops on Hickam have been having road blocks coming on base twice in the same month busted my friend last night for tint could have given him a ticket for three windows and no recon but they gave him a $97 ticket for tint...

i think tint is one of the major "peeves" of a cop. when u gotta pull someone over and you can't see inside the car i can see where that would suck. . . for all they know there can be a gun pointed right at em and not even know it.
Just to let you guys know, the saturation is the new recruits who finished their initial training. They have been producing alot of tags, and they will be on Ala moana/Nimitz/Beretania etc... as well as H-1 and H-2. Speeding enforcement and DUI's are top priorty. Be careful.

This sucks......I got my first ticket in the 12.5 years that I have been driving about 3 weeks ago.
How's court in Hawaii, will they let me pay the fine and not tack the points on my driver lic? Will they look at my overall driving record?.....It's super clean?????

Traffic court in HI is a joke compared to CA. My buddy got a DUI and I had to escort him to his court date and we sat there for over three hours listening to the judge let people off who had multiple offenses ranging from DUI to Child safety violations, to no insurance and anything else you can think of with the same ruling, Don't let it happen again and perform either comm. service or attend a class. Apparently there is a class on why you should put your child in a safety seat. Maybe those people that gpatmac ran into are that class right now.

if it was speeding then when i had mine recently, the judge would not hear any of it. even if it was my first ticket ever in 4 years of driving and the fact that i wasn't the one being paced by the cop initially and he opted that since i was the "slower" and easier target, i became the one to get the ticket.

I was stopped for speeding 9 mph over the limit about 9 months ago. This was my first ticket in 11 years. I went to court in Ewa (next to mikis in PC), and the judge only asked me 2 questions. 1.) When was your last ticket. Answer: This is my first your honor. 2.) You are from New York? (after looking at my drivers license information on the ticket). I said "yes your honor".
That was all it took. Before I could say anything, he found me guilty of speeding and issued me a fine. The cop was cool, and apologized about 4 times for writing the ticket, and i was cool with him, so don't think that had anything to do with it.
The courts here are the biggest joke ive ever seen. Im about 99% sure that if i wasn't military, I would have gotten away with a class or a warning. I so wanted to play the "racist" card, but of course had no proof. The 2 people before me were "locals" and each were ticketed with speeding over 15 mph, and it wasn't their first offense! Yet they were both let off and made to go to some class, as oppossed to a fine and points.

as with your case i'm sure the court is in confidence that they will at the least be able to make some money off of you.
although the points part does kinda suck

Go to court in uniform. Reduced fines and possible dismissal if you give explanation of your military duties as military police and near perfect record.

yeah, i seen a cop facing traffic on the freeway while i was going 7-10 over the limit. i slowed down and i guess he saw because he pointed at me as i passed him by. and as i count my lucky stars again, im lucky he didn't turn around and chase me.
btw.. if ur going towards wahiawa on the freeway, there's ALWAYS a cop waiting to tag someone right after the Mililani Town exit on the grass. but this is only at night.. maybe around 9-11pm.

Changing the subject a little...
So who does and doesn't have recon? I heard it's a one time $15 fee. So why not get it? Since I never even heard of recon before I moved here, anyone care to enlighten me?
