Carry on.
Shouldn't be possessive at all. It should have read "There are..." instead of "There's". Of course, what does a hillbilly trucker know?

wow, if what you say is true you can absolutely get all 3 tickets tossed.

Get the proper documentation to prove your exhaust is DOT legal. whoever posted some ordinance earlier was trying to claim your exhaust is illegal, but if you have a normal cat-back then according to that ordinance you are NOT in the wrong at all.

Get your story straight, get your friends to get their story's straight, and bring them all to the court. Do plenty of research, and do it right. Be VERY respectful to the judge, always prefice with "your honor" and do NOT cop (exucse the pun) an atitude either towards him, or speaking of the officer.

You have to remain very professional and leave the motion out. state the facts, and not your opinions.

Good luck

It's possessive in the sense that he was saying there is their side of the story and your side of the story. Those stories/interpretation of events being each persons view (specific to them/belonging to them/whatever).

As for "there's" you're correct.


More important though, what's for dinner? I'm starving and it's only 4:45. Damn.

Hillbilly trucker strikes again.


I couldn't get past "there's". I didn't even read to "their's".

This sounds really good. I had an exhaust issue years ago. I asked a state trooper about it he said to fight it, you won't loose, there is nothing wrong with it. ( he had other qualifications in his job to know about this)

I went to court with picture of my car, with what he said was an illegal exhaust, and pics of several of the State Patrol cars with the same issue, only it was factory.

After both stories were told and I had shown my pics with the circles and arrows and a pargraph on the back of each one explaining it (sorry i forgot how the rest of it went) the magistrate asked the trooper what was wrong with my exhaust, His reply "That is not the exhaust system that was on the car when i stopped him" He F'n lyed and i paid the fine, because you are guilty and the tropper/cops work for the govenment and with the magistrates and judges, so their word has more clout than your lying *** does.

good luck.

Well…

If a cop gave you three tickets you WILL be paying some money to the man. For whatever reason you really pissed this cop off and thus the judge will hammer you. Save up some cash, duct tape your mouth in court and hand the bailiff a note that reads:

”How much money your honor?

Cops just don’t give out three tickets because they are bored, have an attitude, or on a power trip they do it when someone does not treat a cop they way one should which is “yes sir”, “no sir”, and “I understand sir”…

And no, they do not provide the Vaseline in the court house you will have to bring your own…

Burt, lately, based on some of your replies, I've been wondering what planet you live on. Now I am positive that it's not Earth. (Or certainly, at least, not Los Angeles)




(Yeah, that's right, Planet Los Angeles. We're that big.)

Yes they do.

My father and I went for a pizza one night, he is driving, low beams on and a car coming towards us flicks their highs, so what does dear ole dad do, thats right he gives em back. Other car was a local cop, man got a ticket, pizza turned out to be about 100 bucks. When i asked the cop why he flicked his highs I was told to shut up. There are times when badge and a gun, is the only thing that keeps them from getting an a**whoopin.

Respect needs to go both ways, if you aren't going to give me any then you sure as hell don't deserve any from me.
