hey hun, glad to hear court turned out better than expected! well I've gotten out of a few tickets, so i'm thankful for that and it's also because i know a few of of the guys in the PD in the city i live in so i've been pretty fortunate. BUT there was one i rec'd a month ago. I was in another city (about 2 cities away from where i live) and the cop pulled me over to chit chat....well he was so annoying and i jsut wasn't in the mood for it and he asked for my #. so instead of playing along i was annoyed and told him to get lost....well the sucker proceeds to give me a ticket for "speeding" yeah right....anyway long story short, i called one of the guys i know from the PD dept and they gave me awesome advice to fight the ticket
