Sophia Castillo35 said:It’s just the mods, man. You can change the title of your post all you want, but the thread itself stays exactly the same. I mean...Testing this thing out. Let's see if it actually works. 😁

I bet I could knock that whole edit out in five hours. Easy.
Look, here’s how you do it: Start a new thread, head back to the subforum main page, and then just double-click the topic—not directly on the title, but slightly to the left of it. If you do it right, the edit option should pop up. Simple as that.🙂

As for the mods and supermods, I’m pretty much on good terms with everyone who actually does their job properly and stays in constant contact with me about just about everything. I won’t call anyone out by name, though—I don't want to end up hurting anyone's feelings.
Anyway, solid thread. 😍

Yeah, something like that.🙂

Patrick Davis13 said:Passing on a double yellow line and speeding, probably—but he’s got zero proof besides his own word.
Anyway, my brother was in the car with me, so maybe we could coordinate our stories? Like, I wasn't actually passing him, but rather that vehicle was just pulling out onto the main highway, since it's a newly widened intersection right where I was driving about 10 yards before.
And just to mention again, he didn't ask me to sign anything or give me any kind of citation paperwork. He just scribbled something down on some notepad, probably whatever he thought he saw (honestly, for all I know, he might've thought I ran someone over...).

He can't nail you for speeding if he didn't "catch you on camera" and show you the footage. It won't hold up in court without actual evidence. But for the illegal passing part? He doesn't need physical proof; his word is enough.
And listen to me: forget all that "syncing up stories" crap. You're better off going to court when it comes down to it, admitting you messed up, and playing the "broke college student" card. Tell them you've never had a ticket in your life, talk about how things are rough at home, whatever... You could even mention you were in a massive rush for something urgent.
All that stuff might actually work, but forget about trying to claim you weren't passing. That's a losing game.😉

Patrick Davis13 said:Alright, let me break down what happened real quick. I could really use some advice if anyone knows how to handle this.
So, I was cruising down the highway on a stretch where I thought speed limits were higher. 44 miles I was definitely doing at least 90, so yeah, I was speeding—and to make matters worse, I passed someone on a solid line. Of course, two cops pulled me over. Honestly, I think only one of them even saw me because the other guy was busy arguing with some dude they’d just stopped.
Then, he pulls up to my window and
1. He didn't even take a photo or anything. He didn't say how fast I was going, just told me I committed a violation for $333, probably the passing thing... then he says I have to pay $100 right now or he'll just write me a ticket for $333.
But here’s the kicker: he takes my driver's license and registration to go write the citation, but he just scribbles stuff on some little notepad. He didn't give me any chance to see what I'm being charged with, and he didn't even ask me to sign anything! He just told me, "You'll get the ticket in the mail for $333!!!"
The issue is, I've only had my license for six months. I've got a totally clean record so far, but I'm a student, I don't have a job, and I am seriously broke, lol.
How can I fix this? Can I actually argue that I wasn't even passing people?
Thanks for the help, hope you guys can weigh in.

Yeah, you might as well just claim you weren't even behind the wheel😁
Obviously you can't do that...
Honestly, there’s nothing you can do right now. You just gotta sit tight until the ticket actually shows up and then figure out your next move🙂

From what I know, though, to get a $333 for speeding, you usually have to be doing something way more reckless than this😁

Three weeks ago, I attended a game and found myself positioned near a group of fans who were lighting flares and throwing them onto the field.
Shortly after, an officer approached me and took me into custody at the station. The justification given was that I had also been lighting and throwing flares, which is simply not true.
I requested that the security footage be reviewed, as it would clearly show my innocence, but the officer informed me that no such video exists—a claim I find highly dubious given that this was a high-security game.
Furthermore, while I was being detained for six hours—a duration necessitated by my refusal to falsely admit to and sign for an offense I did not commit—I was denied the phone call I requested. During transport, the officer even interrogated me about whether I had prior run-ins with the police or if I might actually be from a different city, making it painfully obvious he had mistaken me for someone else.
During the hearing, the officer testified that he saw me holding a flare before apprehending me. I maintained my innocence under oath and asserted that I have witnesses who can corroborate my account.
To make matters worse, I faced blatant discrimination from the judge, who remarked that it wasn't surprising I was targeted because I stand out due to my long hair. 😕
The court sentenced me to $333 along with a one-year restraining order prohibiting me from attending any future games hosted by that club.
During the proceedings, the officer intentionally brought up a previous protective measure issued against me (which was for an entirely unrelated matter), even though I am currently only under a precautionary measure as my legal process is still ongoing and I have no criminal record.
My question is: when filing an appeal with the Municipal Court of Los Angeles, can I utilize the fact that I have multiple witnesses ready to testify to my innocence? If so, what is the proper procedure—do their statements need to be notarized or something similar? Additionally, can I appeal based on the judge's discriminatory remarks regarding my appearance and her biased comment that she would trust an officer's word over mine?
I would appreciate a prompt response, as my deadline to submit the appeal is this Friday.
Thank you.

Hey, colleague,😁
Calling you a colleague because we're dealing with the exact same crap.

I got hauled in innocent as hell, and then sentenced without a shred of evidence. It was just my word against a cop's, and that was it. No footage, no photos, nothing. 🙄
The US Judiciary🤣

Man, I got screwed even worse... a year-long ban and $667.
I appealed the decision to the court, which is what I suggest you do. List those witnesses and everything else that might help your case.

But watch out—while the appeal is pending, your ban is still active. And if they reject your appeal, that's when the clock starts on the actual ban period. For example, if you got banned on Jan 1st and appealed, and the court finally rules on Oct 10th to uphold the penalty, then your ban runs from Jan 1st to Oct 10th of the following year.
So....what can I tell you? I appealed because it's pure injustice, even though the chances of them actually listening are basically zero. 🙂 And since they love to drag their feet on appeals on purpose, I'll end up being barred from games for three years total, even though I won't touch a flare again as long as I live.🙂

Michelle Palmer6 said:The fallout of modern football. ☕
Of course, it’s a total myth to suggest all this match-fixing is just happening now. If anything, everything coming to light lately might actually be proof that people are finally starting to take real action against it.
Maybe we're finally seeing things start to turn around for the better! 🤷

Man, 😁please.
When you look at how this whole "process" goes down—from the initial investigation through the trials and all the formal charges—you just see the same old garbage surfacing every single time. It’s always the same mix of shady lobbyists, massive bribes used to sweep things under the rug, and that ancient, dirty rule of "might makes right". You can basically wrap all that filth up under one convenient little slogan: "modern football"🤮

Just take a look at the scandal over in Italy and how they handled that entire mess... from the investigation to the indictments and the final punishments. 🤣

I don't even know where to start with this absolute nonsense. It’s pure garbage. Total trash. Honestly, I’m losing my mind just thinking about how much time people waste on this stuff. It’s a joke. A complete and total circus. Stop believing everything you hear! kaže:
So, I’m looking for some real talk on what to expect here. When am I actually gonna get hit with this official notice? What kind of fines are we talking about, and what should my next move be? Seriously, any advice at all is huge right now. I’m 22, finishing up my senior year of college, and I’ve never even been in a situation like this before. It's a total mess. Also, I need to know if this is gonna screw me over when I try to get a background check—you know, that clean record check you need to show employers before starting a job? Is this whole thing gonna show up on that? Please, let me know. Thanks in advance.

Man, I honestly have no clue what you can even expect. It’s anyone's guess at this point.😁 God knows when it’ll happen. Honestly, it all just depends on how fast the courts can move, and we all know how much of a snail's pace that goes.
Look, I've seen this before. Sometimes those tickets hit my mailbox like two weeks after the fact, but other times? You’re looking at a nine-month delay before they finally come knocking. It happens.
Advice? Look, there’s nothing you can do right now. It is what it is. If you actually feel like fighting it, go ahead and file some kind of formal complaint. Otherwise? Just pay the damn thing and move on. Case closed.

You’re gonna get that background check cleared without any drama. As far as I know, what you did was just a minor misdemeanor, not some actual criminal offense. It's not even a big deal.😉

Ryan Jackson87 said:Hey... just wondering when the summons actually shows up at your door—you know, whether it's for a misdemeanor or a felony charge (for having 4 grams)... and if the paperwork actually spells out exactly what happened (like drug possession), or if they just give some vague legal jargon like "violating Section X of the Penal Code, show up for hearing" etc. Asking because a buddy of mine got busted for the first time and he's low-key panicking that his parents might see the docs and realize what's going on. Thanks.

The folder tells the whole story... I’m talking about the actual article AND all the shady crap they're trying to hide behind it.

Real talk here, no trolling intended...
How much of a weight is it actually carrying on your shoulders, knowing everyone constantly uses that whole "you're all just Mexicans" thing as a joke or a provocation against you?

Larry Rivera83 said:Look, let’s get real here... It’s been two days since the game, and I just finished talking to someone who was right there on the ground—someone I trust completely because they gave me the exact rundown on what went down back in Newark at the start of the season, and honestly, their story is the only one that actually makes sense. From what I can tell, nothing happened. Look, I don't know who your sources are or who they claim got jumped, but I know for a fact it wasn't the Navy... and I don't usually jump on unverified drama like this, so I wanted to wait until I heard firsthand about this supposed massive brawl involving the LA Galaxy fans.

Let's be straight about this.😁
I heard from someone super close to ZD that people actually got wrecked... Some were caught on the highway, others in some bar.
Now, whether it was the Navy or just some random idiots, I don't know, and frankly, I don't even care. In this digital age, it's probably better to stay out of the loop anyway.🙂

Laugh all you want, but the bottom line is you guys totally choked in San Diego (at least according to what I'm hearing) during those two separate incidents.

Man, San Diego just isn't what it used to be.😁

Nicholas Wilson5 said:So, what I'm hearing is I actually have to pay this fine?

Look, you can always try to appeal it if you want to fight it.

crimsonsailor7 said:Honestly, you probably won't see anything coming from the IRS... at least in my experience working this stuff out in the real world, things just move along without much warning.

Are you asking if there's a general deadline for carrying out any kind of sentence?
The absolute statute of limitations for enforcement is two years, though I'm pretty sure they actually extended that with a recent change in the law...

Duh.
It got extended to four years starting January 1st, if we're talking about the same thing.🤔

crimsonsailor7 said:Since they basically never bother collecting those fines through any real enforcement, you eventually just get hit with a notice saying your fine is being tossed out in favor of actual jail time...

Since you brought that up...
Is there an actual expiration date on this stuff? Like, if a final court ruling was handed down on January 1st, 2007, is there a deadline by which they have to go after the money or toss you in a cell instead?

Morgan Richardson said:Bravo! Like, what even is MSN... omg... I know it exists, but it’s just not hitting the spot... Skype is exactly what I was looking for...👍

🙄
Then why the hell did you even start a thread if you already knew exactly what you wanted? And since you went through the trouble of opening one anyway, why didn't you even bother picking the right subforum?

Is there any? Short answer: yeah, absolutely.

When people run out of actual, solid arguments, they start reaching for any kind of dirty tactic just to stay relevant. One of those pathetic moves is resorting to grammatical discrimination like generational bias.🙂

Arthur Ramos said:Alright, fine. My point was just trying to figure out if an appeal actually carries any weight once they've already handed down a guilty verdict. That's all I was getting at.🤷

Honestly, arguing over whether they’re worth it or not is just a complete waste of time. It's a non-issue.
Go ahead, file your little formal complaint and just sit there waiting on the court to get back to you. Then you'll finally see if any of this was actually worth your damn time or not.😉

Anyway, I see you guys already filed the appeal... So fine. There's nothing left to do now but sit tight and wait for them to get back to you.

UEFA has officially put on hold the decision about expanding the European Football Championship format from 16 teams to 24. That was the big takeaway from the 32nd FIFA Congress that wrapped up today in Washington, D.C.

During the press conference in Washington, D.C., UEFA President Michel Platini made it clear that this expansion is a massive deal, but they aren't pulling the trigger until they've finished more talks with the national federations.

"The whole expansion thing is purely political—it’s all about what serves the interests of the national associations and countries that see this as their ticket to the big dance. Our stance at this Congress is that we have to weigh every single possibility. We could stick with 16 teams, move to 24, or even look at a middle-ground option with 20 teams. Rest assured, our committee, headed by Vice President Thompson, will be diving into the pros and cons of every setup very soon. Personally? I played in the European Championship back when it only had eight teams, and I walked away as the top scorer," Platini finished.

We won the battle... for now.😁

He’ll be back, mark my words.
What else does he even need in this life?😁

Nancy Vaughn70 said:Dude, are you actually insane? Saying it’s "debatable" if he’s the best? Do you even have eyes? Regardless of what sport we're talking about, the guy is the GOAT, even if he played cricket! You’ve gotta be the only person on this entire planet claiming he isn't the greatest. Seriously, go watch a single game, see what the man can do, and then try telling me he's not the best.

Man, you really need to apologize for using such garbage logic.
Every single sport has its legends. Every branch of athletics—every position on the field—has its own icon. Claiming Ivano Balić is the greatest athlete in the world isn't just ridiculous, it’s an insult to all the sporting giants out there, and honestly, we have way too many of those legends in America alone.

Ivano Balić is definitely the best playmaker, maybe even the best handball player ever, but he can't be the greatest athlete in Miami, let alone the whole US or the entire world. 😲 And it’s not because he’s bad or lacking talent; it’s for a simple reason: you can't compare apples to oranges. Like I said at the start, every sport—even something boring like cricket or billiards—has its own legend. 🙂 And every one of them is king of their own domain. There is no "king of kings" among them because they simply aren't comparable. 😉
