Papi ..as I sit in this chair..it is word for word from the judges mouth and I also couldn't believe it.....I have an uncle that has been everything from patrolman to captain to judge and he even teaches criminal law in our local college and he couldn't believe it either...he wanted me to take the judge and officer to a higher court for action but....I guess adding up atty fees, more lost days wages etc etc....let it go.....but it does bother me that they get away with that kind of thing. Fellow worker/friend and his brother got run down on a sidewalk when people in a jeep had words with them. Friend pulled his cc and shot the radiator out of the jeep..is how the officers found them..They were not charged..but the guy that shot the gun off in the city limits lost his cc for a few yrs for shooting it in the city...I posted that before somewhere here and also posted how friend from irac saved his motorcycle from getting loaded in back of a truck and when he slug the guy and stomped on his hands, he got the brunt of it all from using excessive force, big fines..thief/ nothing...I have been pulled over and ticketed in my 18 wheeler for speeding..went to hearing on that one and they came out and said if you can prove you weren't speeding, rip the ticket and go home...???...da...why get it in first place...and I obey the laws...even when I use to drive for a living..been pulled over a few miles down the road from a school zone by an officer comming the other way. He said I was speeding in school zone I just passed..I said was not. He said I needed my CDL to work..I said yes sir and is exactly why I wasn't speeding..But I won that one...all this happened around Pittsburgh area and the towns just south and west of it..another officer wrote me up for going 35mph in a 35mgh zone because it says trucks 25..I wasn't going 20 and even stopped at the redlight where he came up behind me not one block from where he wasn't even in his car..was gabbing outside to someone..said I can't prove you were speeding but say you were..did no radar, no vascar, didn't follow me the required 3/10 of mile to clock speed..just said in court I was speeding.that judge asked after I pointed these items out...the officer if looked like speeding..said yes..judge said good enough officer..I said law applies to trucks over 26000 lb..and weigh tickets or scale never used..asked officer if looked heavier than 26g...said...yes...well I was guilty there too and paid fine...and even though I myself didn't lie, I sure see now how it can work in your favor....oh well..is in past..and I won't go into the reason I did pull once but it worked and sure saved things...have a nice day papi...and a nice Christmas to you and yours....
