The main thing in question for me is the fact he couldn't show me any proof that he lased or radar'd me at that speed, plus he has no proof I was driving since he never pulled me over while behind the wheel. I'll probably go for "Probation Before Judgment" since I don't have anything else on my record. Still can't believe he came to my house to give me a ticket... what a cock

Fight it, you'll win. IIRC, Here in Canada law states that he has to be able to show you the laser gun, if you ask him.

Also, before you go getting all detailed about your encounter, see this story: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/gps/97190-dashcam-video-gps-speed-imprint-court-date-soon.html

And this other dude who had the district attorney scour the internet for evidence. Not saying you are guilty, just stating that they can be crafty.

The trial is over on my speeding ticket. Thought you should know how I came out with my GPS presentation at the trial. At the final hearing, the prosecutor asked me some questions and then gave me a warning about perjury. After that warning he asked some of the same questions. He had discovered all the posts I made on the Internet, which proved that I did not have a GPS in my vehicle the night I received the ticket. The Judge found my presentation not to be credible evidence and found me guilty on the speeding ticket. I was fined $364.46, which includes the pay for the officers appearing in Court. The prosecutor also showed that I had an incorrect address on my driver’s license. He filed a Motion to have me held in contempt of Court on the grounds that I had committed perjury. The Court gave him 30 days to file a brief on the matter. A City Marshal came to my house shortly after the trial, wanting to examine my computer. At the suggestion of the Prosecutor and after talking with my family, I decided to apologize and tell the truth to the Court. I could have been sentenced to a hundred dollar fine and 3 nights in jail on each of several charges for contempt of Court plus a possible perjury charge. To make, present or use any record, document or thing in Court such as my GPS presentation, with knowledge of its falsity is a felony punishable by two to ten years in prison. I think the prosecutor worked at trying to keep me out of jail. He also agreed not to pursue the perjury charge. I was sanctioned $100.00 for failing to file a brief on time. I was held in contempt of Court for what I did on the Internet and fined $100. but no jail time. I was held in contempt of Court for fabricating the GPS presentation and not telling the truth in Court. I was fined $100, and given 3 days in jail. However, the prosecutor agreed to suspend the jail time for 180 days on the condition that I post a $250. bond. I cannot get another conviction or deferred disposition within 180 days. If I get another conviction within 180 days, I will serve three days in jail on this contempt. I have to put a correct address on my Driver’s license and provide proof of that. The Court ordered me into counseling once a week for 30 days and thereafter as suggested by the Counselor for the remainder of the 180 days. Obviously I exercised extremely poor judgment in my effort to try and outsmart the system. I apologized to the Court and I apologize to anyone on the net who might have been misled into making an equally poor choice or means of fighting a speeding ticket based on some of the comments I have made. Some of us may be highly skilled when it comes to computers and cars, but we can become rather ignorant when we step out of the perceived scope of our expertise. It’s even worse to be totally ignorant of the law. The Court and prosecutor gave me a big break on this one. I have truly learned something from what I considered “just a speeding ticket.”

if I got the ebay j+midpipe with the extra bung for a wideband, where can I find a o2 plug/cap to plug up that hole for the wideband since I won't have one (yet). I went to the local stores and nobody was of help..

I believe he has to have it available here, but if traffic conditions are 'too dangerous', he can refuse you the opportunity to see it.

Yeah, I've been careful as to what I say, especially on the internet. I honestly don't know my speed at the time, nor have I admitted to anything...

Yeah, unless he was worried (for good reason, though) about my mom backing out of the garage, I'm not so sure that's a viable excuse here...

 

[Rockin03mp5]

did the cop know you? he must have been able to read you plate when you passed by in order to call your house. or he knew you. which case, he is being a dick. every state is different though. you will have to read up on the laws. it helps to cite the law when you are defending yourself.

Search ebay for o2 sensor plug and you'll get a bunch more results. Good luck.

[Spiced MSP]

got my first scrape on the plastic splitter(whatever it's called under the front bumper) today..still lovin my S techs. I was pulling out of an inclined entrance to a parking lot. It was a pretty steep incline and I was at a hell of an angle and still scraped, then started seesawing(three wheels FTW!!!)

Side note: debating on my next mod: J spec intake cam/CS exhaust cam or CS downpipe
