Written warning worse than an actual citation?

This thread made me a little worried...so I called the local police dept to find out that written warnings are kept in their internal files and they don't get reported outside. I received a warning for disobeying a stop sign in my personal vehicle, which I did not disobey. The cop only saw me turning left, and he was coming a few blocks down from my right, assuming that I blew the stop sign because my car appeared to be at a too high speed as for a vehicle that just moved from a full stop. Well... I did come to a full stop at the stop but it was placed much deeper than the edge of the intersection, so I had time to accelerate. He said, he had me on the video, but later said that it only showed me turning left, the stop sign was obstructed by trees and buildings and he could not see me "stopping" or "not stopping"... To tell you the truth, it would have been the first undeserved ticket in my life....and I received quite a number of those in my younger years.
A few years back (I think 2013) I received another one in CMV by Iowa HP for swerving into and going past the right white line too much....I did not even argue with him. The warning never appeared anywhere - no formal DOT report was made by him at the time either.
Morale of the story: I need a dash cam in my personal vehicle too.

 

To repeat yet once again...
CSA and PSP scores only happen when a violation is written up in a CVSA inspection report. It can be a warning (no citation) or not (citation given), but a CVSA violation and citation are two distinct, but related, things.

 

Right, and a warning on an inspection form that goes to the government for CSA and PSP recording have no recourse for the driver or the company to fight, not even DataQ

 

I don't care about a ticket that does not contain the actual information on me or the truck company, I don't care about warnings. HOWEVER...

There has been times in my life where the DOT man will take a smoke and say that if we are still around when he finishes smoking break, he will start writing tickets.

Bye!

There have also been times where I have been inspected so close to the 70 hour rule that the DOT policeman is nice enough to say that he will be in this side of the state line over yonder for a while and it's very best for all concerned I do not see him again on this side of the line until I have hours again.

What a nice policeman. I kept my word after delivery I stayed on the other side of his state line that day. =)

Now... because of my personality type which is a little bit combative at times, Police Officers and Chiefs in particular tend to stand on my fuel tank and yell. Loudly and using broken simple children's talk until they make themselves understood.

When all that is out of the way would Sir like some coffee?

NO. Im not in the mood. Oh ok, See you later Sir.

 

My Saftey department dataQ’s warning all the time.
