Me and a friend of mine were heading down 295N driving towards a friends house. We see a cop up ahead on the side of the road at the 301N exit with his blue lights on, where we need to get off. There's a car behind him and I had thought he'd just stopped someone and thought nothing of it. Well my friend gets on the off ramp and realizes he's halfway in the road, and halfway on the courtesy lane(whatever its called). Well we're both slowing down when my buddy in front of me slams on the brakes, forcing me to do the same. My brakes really suck and if I would've kept braking I would've slammed in the back of his sentra, so I swirved around him and got back on the slow lane of 295 and followed another car onto the 301N exit. Well the exit is backed up because of a tractor trailer accident, the cop runs from his car, down near the beginning of the exit ramp, to my car with a flashlight. He almost breaks my glass beating on my window, so I roll my window down and he rudely asks for my license and registration. I said yes sir, and handed him both my license and registration. He told me the off ramp was blocked off, there were no signs, and his car on the side of the road with a plymouth breeze isn't exactly telling me the ramp is blocked off. Mind you I followed another car onto the off ramp, and many cars pulled onto the off ramp even after I did. Also, my car has no muffler and he asked me where I got my muffler from because he heard me "downshift" going by him, mind you the car was in 3rd the entire time on the off ramp. Well I bought the car like that because I've heard it was legal not to have a muffler as long as it meets the sound requirements which I think it does, it's not very loud at all compared to most cans. Also, the car passed inspection without a muffler. Well he had no decibel meter, or a sniffer. He comes back after 30 minutes, pulling his car up the off ramp and behind me. He gets out and has 2 tickets, one for improper muffler, and one for RECKLESS DRIVING. He also NEVER mentioned why my exhaust was improper, or how I was driving reckless. I signed both the tickets, said thank you sir, and went on my way. Now I don't see how anything I did was reckless. I had to swirve out of the way to avoid an accident. Would he rather I just run into the other car? Everyone I've talked to said the ticket is complete bullshit after hearing the story. I am getting a lawyer and I am fighting this reckless ticket regardless. I understand getting the exhaust ticket kind of, but I wasn't revving my car or flying by a cop acting like an idiot. I was driving like a normal person. But getting this reckless ticket just blows my mind and I would like for you to tell me what you guys think about it...
