Beware ! Police ticket trap in hackettstown, nj !

[Walleyed]

Donnie....It's hardly a "trap". This is merely means you did not follow established state law.

The NJ law N.J.S.A. 39:4-66.2 Which prohibits driving on public or private property to avoid a traffic sign or signal provides: “Except for emergency vehicles and motor vehicles being operated at the direction of a law enforcement officer, no person shall drive a motor vehicle on public property, except public roads or highways, or private property, with or without the permission of the owner, for the purpose of avoiding a traffic control signal or sign.”

I'm sorry that your time is so important that you feel you have the need and the right to disregard the law and disrespect private property.

The Hackettstown PD is a professional organization that serves our community well. While I'm not a officer or a public employee, I find your derogatory comments to be offensive.

You were in the wrong, you broke the law, you got caught and you paid the ticket.

Quit whining.

what trap? sounds to me like a guy who got what he deserved for cutting through private property to avoid a light (which everybody knows you can't do)

Was the time saved by cutting thru the lot plus the ticket stop equal waiting for a traffic light?? Or shorter/longer?? So much for time saved.

I know the corner well and yes as quick as the light may be to turn red it's not long of a wait to turn green. You are dealing with 4 separate lanes of different direction traffic feeding thru that light.

I got a ticket for the same thing in a different area, cut through a parking lot to get from one side of rt 23 to the other while avoiding the jug handle and traffic light. You and I took a shortcut to avoid a traffic light, its against the law and while you may not like it the cop did nothing wrong. I 'm sure you speed all the time, so do I. You take your chances when you speed, if you got caught speeding would you complain? You broke the law, you got caught..........

Thank you to the HPD for doing your job. Nothing ticks me off more than when I'm sitting at a light or in a turnoff lane in traffic and someone cuts thru a parking lot or gas station to avoid the light or cuts in front of me and everyone else by crossing over a solid line to avoid traffic. Ticket them, make them stand in line at the grocery store holding a place for elderly people, make them do community service by painting lines on the highway using their toothbrushes, etc. That is all.

Lol....this is just too funny of a post.

I'm still wondering about Donnie's mental stability if this still bothering him 10 years later.
