I've gotten out of several tickets just by being pleasant and owning up to my offense. I've paid several, too.
Once I was approaching this tiny, bad-place-in-the-road village. Didn't even have a traffic light, just a blinking light. Village had two police cars, though. I was about a mile outside the village on a four-lane divided highway. I saw Barney coming toward me on the other side of the highway, and I detected a sudden change in his speed. I watched him cross the median to fall in behind me, maintaining his distance. As I passed the village limits sign, I reduced my speed to the village speed limit. Just as I reached the center of the village as denoted by the blinking yellow light, he closed up and lit me up.
The young cop, dressed in civvies, got out. I said, "Surely you are not going to ticket me for speeding." He said, "You don't consider 73 in a 65 to be speeding?" "It might be but the fact is, I was out of your jurisdiction at the time; I observed the speed limit when I entered your village. You don't have the authority to ticket me." He responded, 'Well, maybe I don't, but the Sheriff's Office does." I said, "Well, call 'em."
He took my license and went to his car and got on the radio. After a long conversation, he got out of his car, handed me my license and said, "Mr. Spears, consider this your lucky day." Obviously the Sheriff's Office told him what he could do with his ticket."
