yeah, some cops are real dumb, i have friends that are cops though, and i play airsoft with some, they usually can't right off stuff unless it's just a little fix it ticket or something like that.

I ALMOST got a "removed catalytic converter" ticket, but good thing I have an STi catless uppipe, because I said, I have a cat and pointed to the uppipe which still looked stock. The cop was a complete moron though, he almost gave me another citation for "modified ignition" until I pointed out that was an HID ballast. :rollseyes: Anyways, I dont feel like removing all my mods and taking it to the state ref. So can I just pay the bail and be done with it? Thanks.
If you just pay the fine you let them win. It's easier yea but think about it in the long run. The more of this **** get's dismissed the less it gets written.

Its like they aren't even concerned about crime and more concerned about writing "fix it tickets, or what evere they call them" to generate $$$

Was asked to pop the hood, wrote me up for my intake and exhaust for emissions, and I had to go to see the referee as well.
Now I'm trying to clear the ticket because it's already been signed off, well guess what. It's not even on their database and have a court date on the 13th. Come to find out that their so far behind on from previous tickets. I just hope the court date gets extended automatically.
