I SUGGEST TO EVERYONE THAT GOT A STATE REF TO HANDLE IT NOW... or you should have already cuz the refs are open tomorrow, and im sure judge will get wind of it.
Also say that the shop the sold it to you advertised it as 50 state legal.
good luck to all you car enthusiasts

Just appeared in Traffic Court today.
ALL COUNTS DISMISSED
I was very respectful, went up there and gently greeted the judge.
She read off what I was standing upon, and asked me if I cleared anything up. She even explained how the Ref Stations are closed, and pondered what I did.
I told her that I tried calling up my local PD to get my 5202VC cleared up but they told me only the citing agency could clear it up. I explained to her that I got my ticket while the ref stations were closed. She said "There's nothing you can do, I'm going to dismiss this whole case." I was talked to by the Sheriff upon leaving and he told me to get or posses the CARB stickers at all times, to avoid future traffic citations.
FTMFW!!!!!!!

my advice to you sube dude; be very humble and almost confused as to why you got the ticket (in front of 'your honor') What did you get reffed for, exhaust? Tell the judge that the shop you bought it at advertised it as state legal in noise and emissions. Tell me what else u got on the ticket and ill help u

Cool, throw the shop under the bus when you know you what you were getting yourself into. Nice ethics.
People like you are why waivers exist and people get awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars for spilling coffee on themselves, then act surprised it was hot.

Its the 1st hearing you guys, Usually its settled in the first round, unless you want to have a formal trial.
I didn't mention any shops names, throwing it out there that my exhaust is 50state legal puts the cherry on top in her mind. She knew there weren't any refs active at the time.... and by me saying it was advertised as 50 state legal doesn't jeopardize any shop...wtf

I would all be lining up to see that judge.. She knows it was not right.
Very glad to see someone still in the system that knows what is right.
waviers do nothing now days.. Its a piece of false hope..

Pretty sure waivers still mean something when it basically says you consented to the purchase and knew it was for offroad use. Its the same BS that the big companies use when selling you a part so it's there for a reason and not false hope.
