This is his ticket data:

Activists say that Giovansanti is a poster child for the urgency of passing the “Stop Super Speeders Act,” a pending bill in Albany that would force the worst repeat speeders to install a speed limiter in their vehicles.
Crazy that this is the suggestion. Point system like in most of Europe and take the license away when no more points. USA is really wild.
Wait you don’t get points on your license if you break the law in the US? Wtaf
In most areas, you can only get a point on your license if an actual officer gives you the ticket. You can’t get them from automated speed cameras. Most of these tickets seem to be from cameras.
Why would he get tickets from his friends?
Exactly my point
Do you think he shouldn’t have friends just because he’s a cop? That’s pretty messed up.
Wait, I’m confused. I can’t tell if you’re being serious. If you are being serious, then that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that everyone should be held accountable for their actions. And of course their friends should be able to give them a ticket.
Cops being held accountable for their actions? Terrorist!
Five points on the licence and you get a milkshake free.

Depends on the state. Most you do get points for this shit. In most states that many tickets would have revoked his license several times over.
But you just know this dude would still drive without a license.
Should only be allowed to drive a three cylinder engine.
I wish speed limiters were automated. Would be pretty easy to do with GPS being in every vehicle now.
Fuck that, why would you WANT the gov in your car?
If you want people to interact with you, you’re going to have to learn to discuss things like a civilized human being.
You know you’re in a community with “fuck” right there in the name, right?
If there’s any toxic behavior going on here, it’s your tone-policing. This is your warning.
What’s uncivilized about the way he answered?
Good question.
His rude and aggressive tone, for one. Totally unnecessary.
And his apparent ignorance of the fact that there are other solutions for another.
I think you’re just adding tone where there isn’t any. His reply doesn’t seem aggressive. He’s just expressing shock and dismay that someone would invite more government tracking into their vehicle willingly.
But he said the F word. On the internet.
I. Am. Shocked.
DoN’t CuSs It’S nOt CivIWiSeD
That’s an uncivilized response. Don’t take choice of vocabulary as sign of civilization.
If you want to interact with people online, you’re going to not have to act like a child when they say the word fuck.
It wasn’t even said with any anger towards you, the fact that you could be offended by that is mind boggling.
$75 for going through a red light? it’s about $500 here.
A quick picture to show what’s happening here:
COPS
ARE ABOVE
THE LAW
There’s no reason why he should be allowed to keep his driver’s license after the third infraction. Pull it for a few years, and then if he keeps doing it, then that’s going to be a permanent ban from driving.
Also, how are the cameras configured to only issue violations after 11 mph over the speed limit? It’s a limit, any amount over it is illegal
Yeah agreed, 11mph seems crazy. Usually in Europe they give a 3km/h margin, to prevent discussion around miss-calibrated camera systems and errors in the speed indicated within the car. But anything above that and you get a ticket.
Cameras in Sweden trigger at 6 km/h over the limit, apparently. Picture taken at a distance of 14 meters. Seems reasonable as well. Gauges in cars are calibrated to show slightly over actual speed, as a safety precaution. Drivers all know this, so they usually drive 5–10 km/h over the limit instead (which is their own fault, admittedly). But if you don’t have cruise control it’s easy to drift around the speed you’re trying to hold even when trying to drive right on the limit, and ~5 km/h in either direction seems like reasonable drift.
Yeah, all cars I drove consistently showed 10% over the actual speed I was going, when compared to GPS speed.
I recently bought a new car and found that, basing upon the difference showed on my speedometer and the google maps displayed speed, it’s closer to 5% over actual speed until around 100km/h when it falls to a flat 5km/h over (tested up to around 130km/h displayed speed). All cars are calibrated to show higher speeds on speedometers than actual speed, but the variance isn’t always as high as 10%.
Currently driving a 2025 Volvo EV which shows 1–2 km/h over actual speed at 40 km/h.
Yeah I was only driving analogue shit boxes from the 90s ;D
I’ve no idea how true it is but I’ve read that vehicle speedometers aren’t 100% accurate, so one vehicle going a displayed 30mph might be going the same speed as another vehicle displayed at 35mph.
There’s probably some leeway built into the system to cover inaccuracies like that, as well as in the cameras own speed detection ability
I’ve definitely went by those speed display signs that say slow down and show your speed and they’ve been wrong quite often by upwards of 5-10mph.
your speedometer is calibrated to a specific wheel diameter and is unaware of changes due to tire pressure, wear, using different tires (i.e. winter vs summer tires) etc. All it “knows” is that the vehicle travels x meters per wheel revolution, but that x constantly changes.
This also means your odometer will be off by some margin, and should really only be used as a ballpark value.
Most manufacturers deliberately include an error on the speedo so they report 5km/h high (about 3mph). My two cars have 2km/h and 3km/h errors
You can look up the speedometer error for most cars, you can test your own using a stopwatch and a measured distance and maths, or a GPS that shows speed to one decimal place. I use GPS essentials
GPS speed is very accurate.
9 you’re fine, 10 your mine.
We all know the speed limit is a minimum speed recommendation
Yeah, American speed limits are usually treated as suggestions. My usual commute is 70MPH, but traffic regularly flows anywhere between 80 and 85. I remember a chat I had with a cop a while back, and she mentioned that her go-to number was 13. So like at 12 over the limit, she wouldn’t bother. But at 13, she’d initiate a stop.
It meant if she recognized someone from a previous stop, she could just go “wait, I think I remember you… Didn’t I bust you for doing 43 in a 30 last time?” Their actual speed didn’t really matter, because she just used 13 over the limit every time, unless it was something egregious like twice the limit. That “wait, don’t I know you” line would immediately shut down any hopes they had of talking their way out of the ticket, because now they’ve been caught again and they think she actually remembers the specific stop.
A real pile of shit. Examine the photo of his truck at the bottom and you will see an odd gap between the front passenger door and fender. No accidents, BS, it went unreported.
From what I understand that is a cops right. They risk their lives every single day so they deserve extra shit. They are a protected class unto themselves. /s
I know it’s a joke but reading this still makes me angry because people unironically believe this
Of fucking course it’s a pick up truck too
Full size Dodge Ram too. The official vehicle of douchebags, wifebeaters, and drunk drivers.
If it were a mid-size import pickup I wouldn’t judge the choice of vehicle too harshly.
An electric converted K Tucks are nice for businesses that need to go long ranges that a cargo bike can’t do.
A DWI Cadillac.
I will never understand wanting such a large vehicle. I love My Nissan Micra, but even that feels top big. It’s seriously awesome to have a tiny car that can just be thrown sideways into a parking spot and still fit between the lines.
A micro EV? They’re everywhere over here and are often parked sideways into parallel parking spaces.
We don’t really have anything in the micro class in my country. The closest I’ve managed to find was a BYD Dolphin Surf, and I wasn’t a fan.
Yeah that one is way bigger, but you can probably drive it on the highway
Had a Nissan Sentra in highschool in the rural area and it’s not small at all, but compared to everyone else it was tiny. Though that was a while ago and been daily driving our legs pretty much since 2019 lmao Though with the lack of benches/public seating in some places, it’s getting harder to find parking for dez bad gurls 🦵🦵
Why doesn’t he get thrown in civil commitment for a few dozen years w/o parole?
Ah right, he’s a cop.

The cowards cancelled the public meeting
Staten Island cop is exactly who I’d expect. We really just need to give that borough to Florida, not even NJ wants it at this point
