r/Nevada

I recently got a ticket for going 1-10 over posted limit. I've never had a speeding ticket and just got my license in December 2025. Should I hire a lawyer or just pay the $150 fee? Any suggestion helps! Thank you

Hi,

My name is David, I’m a 23 year old filmmaker from Amsterdam, and I’ll be in Las Vegas for a few days soon. During my stay I’m planning to work on a small documentary project called “People of Las Vegas”.

The goal is to capture different sides of the city through real people and their everyday environments. I’m interested in the worlds that most visitors never really get to see.

If you’d potentially be interested in being part of it, or know someone who might be a great fit, feel free to reach out.

I am beginning to think my country hates people in wheelchairs. I am a paralyzed veteran and I am finding Nevada to be an impossible place to move to, at any price. Nobody wants to build for a disabled veteran, apartments have no handicapped units for wheelchair users and the Veterans Home refuses to let me transfer from the Veterans Home in Ogden to the one in Sparks.

What am I missing? Is there someone someplace somewhere that I don't know about?

​

People outside the system keep saying: “Just talk to a lawyer.” “Just stop filing.” “Maybe talk to a therapist.”

And I need normal people to understand why that response becomes genuinely ignorant once you’ve been trapped in Nevada’s procedural ecosystem long enough.

Because what I’m dealing with is not a normal disagreement with the court.

It’s a legal ouroboros.

A self-eating system.

A closed-loop bureaucracy where every “solution” routes back into the same machinery causing the problem.

Example:

You try to represent yourself.

Court says: “No, you have counsel.”

Then counsel ignores or refuses to raise the issues.

So you file yourself.

Court says: “You cannot file because you have counsel.”

Then you ask for clarification of representation status.

Court avoids ruling clearly.

Then your inability to resolve representation becomes the justification for more procedural chaos.

That’s not due process. That’s administrative recursion.

Another one:

You ask for written findings.

Not speeches. Not vibes. Not courtroom theater.

Written findings.

Authority. Reasoning. Rulings.

And somehow this becomes the hardest task in the observable universe.

Meanwhile:

warrants still issue,

custody still happens,

competency still happens,

restrictions still happen,

filings get struck,

rights get delayed,

and coercive authority continues operating without stabilized explanations.

That is NOT how healthy systems behave.

Healthy systems LOVE specificity.

Healthy systems explain themselves confidently.

Healthy systems say: “Here is the ruling, here is the authority, here is why you are wrong.”

What I’ve experienced instead is years of procedural fog.

And here’s where the “get a lawyer” people accidentally expose that they don’t understand the structural issue.

The problem is not: “I cannot FIND a lawyer.”

The problem is: the system itself repeatedly uses representation status as a procedural control mechanism.

That’s different.

Very different.

At various points:

I was barred from filing because I was “represented,”

while simultaneously fighting unresolved representation issues,

while trying to invoke Faretta/self-representation rights,

while competency proceedings emerged,

while filings were struck,

while the actual underlying constitutional questions remained unresolved.

People hear “just get a lawyer” because they imagine lawyers operate OUTSIDE the machine.

They don’t.

Public defenders, conflict counsel, appointed systems, scheduling systems, filing systems, judicial discretion systems, local culture systems, political systems, prosecutorial systems, and risk-management systems all overlap.

That overlap is exactly what Monell liability and institutional-liability theory are ABOUT.

And the “talk to a therapist” comments are even dumber honestly.

Not because therapy is bad.

Therapy can help a lot of people.

But there’s a bizarre modern habit where people hear: “documented procedural contradictions” and instinctively translate it into: “this person must be emotionally unstable.”

That reaction itself is part of why institutional abuse survives.

People are psychologically trained to assume courts are coherent by default.

So when someone says: “This procedural posture does not logically make sense,”

the public often asks: “What’s wrong with THAT guy?”

instead of: “Wait… why DOESN’T this make sense?”

That gap is where systems hide.

And before anyone says: “Maybe you’re just obsessed.”

Brother.

If the government:

puts you through years of unresolved prosecution,

escalates warrants,

invokes competency,

restricts filings,

creates contradictory procedural posture,

and keeps refusing to clearly explain itself in writing…

…you would probably start indexing emails too.

That’s not insanity.

That’s pattern recognition under pressure.

The funniest part is: the more I documented, the more the system started looking psychologically uncomfortable with documentation itself.

Because records freeze timelines.

And timelines kill narrative flexibility.

Which is why I keep filing.

Not because I think every filing magically fixes corruption.

Not because I think judges suddenly become superheroes after Motion #47.

I keep filing because records matter.

Timelines matter.

Written findings matter.

Preservation matters.

And silence matters too.

Especially when specific questions keep getting avoided.

The real blackpill isn’t “Nevada is corrupt.”

The real blackpill is realizing most systemic dysfunction isn’t run by criminal masterminds.

It’s run by exhausted institutional organisms trying to survive accountability one procedural deferral at a time.

The ouroboros doesn’t even know it’s eating itself anymore.

It just calls the process “normal.”

Thanks for the advice on my last post, I read all the comments. I’m finally out of Nevada and not there to suffer anymore, and my brother moved out too.

I’ve been saving up some part-time job money, not a ton, but I wanna do something for her. Before Mother’s Day, I got her a Della window AC unit for her bedroom so that would be cool enough to sleep in. It was the least I could do.

I thought I was being a good daughter, but she spent our entire last call complaining that I'm wasting money and the central air is enough. (It’s not, she just won't turn it on. And she complains every single time I buy her something). My brother had to go over just to install it because she wouldn't touch it. Finally she’s actually using it now. It’s a huge relief knowing that, even if she’ll never admit I was right lol.

Sagebrush ranch there in Nevada. I emailed and explained how my life has gone downhill since 2020 and that I just want one night to be held and feel loved. She emailed me back and said that an all night gfe ranges between $20-30k. That's double what I have left to live on while I wait to hopefully get approved for disability after the denial and appeals. That's like 3 of the new (used) car I just bought! I could sell everything in my house and wouldn't get $30k.

Is this a normal price? I can't believe that it would cost that much just for one single night and then be forgotten about and never see her again.

Hi All!

Im currently in Boise resupplying after spending 3 weeks in the Sawtooth area! Im having a blast but would love some suggestions of what to do with the final month of my trip!

I have a moderately capable RV that I use as a "basecamp" and a launch off point for hiking, kayaking, and riding my motorcycle on forest service roads.

Im a fairly seasoned hiker, I prefer day hikes, though.

I dont Kayak rivers, just lakes.

I prefer less people over "better" views/areas

I also love museums and historical stuff

Any suggestions are welcome!

Hi all,

A non-American here. I'm going down a rabbit hole, watching YouTube videos of people exploring around the various military installations of Nevada, and it made me wonder - What's life like in the small and isolated communities in your state?

I'm specifically talking about places not on Interstate 15 or 80 and not close to Las Vegas or Reno. Also, not "turisty" places like Rachel. Are these small communities agricultural in nature? Does your state support that many ranchers? What do people there do for a living? What do they do for fun? What's the type of person you'd expect to find living out there?

Thanks!

So I got a speeding ticket for going 67 at a 60 while I was going down hill. I saw the cop on the side and he decided to follow me for a good minute or so while I was driving at 60, and then he pulled me over and gave me the ticket. The court date is coming up so any advice on how I can defend myself?

Agree? How do the trumpers feel about this?

***LAPSE IN INSURANCE - ONLY HAD STORAGE POLICY ACTIVE ***

I think I messed up massively. I have 3 cars. I left the country for 5 months. Before doing so, I changed my policy on my cars to storage only. I wasn't aware I needed to give up my plates to NV. I know, I should have, and that if I checked their website I would have known. I know, and accept responsibility.

My cars were parked on my property with the batteries removed. I tried my best to keep the cars in good condition while I left. I have passports and Visas and airplane tickets to support my case.

I just received a letter from DMV asking to confirm my insurance policy. If there is a lapse they will impose heaviy fines and a requirement for an SR22 since its been longer than 90 days.

I've read online that for first time offenders may be able to sign an affidavit to avoid fees. I am assuming this one : https://dmv.nv.gov/pdfforms/nvl003.pdf

Question:

1. Is this the correct affadavit?
2. It seems like there are two possible fees/fines. A reinstament fee and a fine. With the affadivt, will I still need to pay the Length of Insurance Lapse Fines? I honestly can't afford an SR22 right now, and not sure how it will be possible for me to keep insurance.

Any insight or help is needed.

Thank you!

As the title suggests, I’m trying to register a car I just got with plates that I already have. For context, I had to buy a beater last year but ended up selling it shortly after getting it registered.

The catch, is that it was the 1980 plates so they had to mail them and I sold the car before I ever got the plates. I immediately contacted the DMV to cancel the registration after it was sold, so the plates aren’t tied to any other registration.

From what I’ve read, it should be possible to use these plates on the new car but am I able to maneuver that into this new online system, or am I better off just setting up an Appointment and handling it in person?

I can’t seem to find how I’d go about the process, under these specific circumstances, but everything I’ve read on the website so far suggest that as long as I own the plates I should be able to use them.

Any tips are appreciated. Thanks.
