I just got pulled over for running a stop sign and I was wondering how much is the ticket for this violation? Is it the same as running a red traffic light? Any help would be appreciated.
There was one good thing out of this. This officer asked me if my exhaust was stock or if it was aftermarket. (its an HKS Hi Power Exhaust) I told him that I bought it, but I put the silencer in to comply with the DB noise level. He just walked away and issued the stop sign violation.

The one time I got pulled over for it, the cop asked me a question. He said, "If I was beating you with my baton, and you asked me to stop, would you want me to stop, or just slow down?"
I of course said, "Stop."
He then replied, "Well, remember that the next time you come to a Stop sign."

^^which is up to like $375 i think. a lot of times it depends on what intersection you run through. it's also like 3 points on your record i think.

i think running a stop sign is same as a red light.

Oh yeah, go back and take pictures of the "sign". I'm sure the judge will get a kick out of it! :rotfl:
