Either way neither ones right. Just combining the two is a recipe for disaster, like in this guys case I think. I still dont know what the tickets are for.

And I thought a good friend of mine was too. Today he's in prison for Vehicular Manslaughter, and that's where he will be for the next 15 years of his life. I'm glad I learned my lesson with a $80 citation, a year without my license, and double the insurance rates. It's saved me 15 years of my life, and made the rest of society a safer place.
As for the loud muffler, good luck. Of the 2 a month our department writes on average, I haven't seen one get canceled since I've worked here (2+ years now), and more than half are appealed. An officer DOES NOT have to prove it was too loud. Him saying it was louder than the reasonable person would expect a stock unmodified automobile to be is reason enough to cite you on the offense, EVEN IF the exhaust is stock. Yes, a car manufacturer can sell a car that breaks the law in stock unmodified form. Look at the Z06. At full throttle, it breaks the sound ordinances in most states that have them at a certain decibel level.

I think the tickets are for Drag racing, Loud Muffler, and window tint. On the picture of the thre tickets, the one on the left has the word window in the violation spot. I dont think any of them are for drunk driving, dont know why that is being brought up. Just what it looks like to me though, I may be mistaken.

if someone posts a thread in an fbod forum....they probably expect that they'll get advice or what not. this guy comes in and just acts like an *** and tells them how dumb they are and he hopes they lose when they fight the ticket. i was on 2 different threads tonight that he did that on. dude, lighten up mr. fieroman....they know they made a mistake and im sure none of them give a flying **** what you think should happen to them so just let them go.

I hope you spend 10 grand on a lawyer/ loud exhaust, isn't causing any problems, should be left alone/vehicle operator was drunk, I would cite him with loud exhaust, if his exhaust was loud. Even if he was driving slow/ motorcycle officers, and the officers think it looks bad to write a fellow biker/ he makes me look bad/ Because of people like him, the cops are already staring me down every time I leave a stop light/
....I'm glad i don't live around this dude....he don't just have issues; he bought the whole subscription. People like this breedlawyers. Judgement is the job of judges. Officers enforce the official law; get it? If all were treated equally, we wouldn't need lawyers. And I don't give a damn if cops stare; maybe i should pull up and stop in parking lots when they are just shooting the breeze, and stare. And don't think i hate cops; i was raised by an officer.
To the member who started this post: one good way to find a good lawyer is to talk to a courtroom clerk in your local. They see'm all, and know who's good. Just expect to pay the standard dues; get it over with and get on with life. If you do get out of anything, just wipe the sweat off your forehead, and don't do it again.

....and speaking of current government, here's a quote i ran across recently. Make your own judgement on this one.....
"The government against which our ancestors took up arms was a mild and distant irritant compared to the federal scourge that rules us today. Constitutional restraints on tyranny are to our masters only a hazy memory as they exercise powers beyond the dreams of history's most famous dictators. Louis the XIV never required an annual accounting of every centime every Frenchman earned. He would never have dared then to demand a third of it in yearly tribute. Ivan the Terrible never told Russian merchants whom they could or could not hire, nor, heaven help us, where they could have a smoke."

you know....i have seen both sides of the law as far as infractions....sometimes cops do pull some crap and want to be jerks, but sometimes they do what they have to do. As far as drunk driving, I never thought drunk driving would ever affect my life but it did when my little brother was left paralyzed by a drunk 16 yr old...now what has this kid done for changing my brothers life? nothing...it has been 3 years and **** has been done...but i guess that's the law. i won't lie, i have had one or two and then left in my car...i just dont agree with people who are **** drunk and go out and kill someone else. it's sad but sometimes it does take something hitting close to home to change the way you think...anyways, good luck...
