I fought the law, and I won.
I got a letter from the Placer County traffic court today with my dismissal. I got a ticket back in March for going 47ish on sunrise. complete bs. i fought it by mail and got everything in on time and by the book. the court even gave the officer an extension to file his paperwork.
anyway, props to ticketassassin.com for explaining how to fight a ticket by mail, and why to fight by mail.

Congrats Russ.
Chris (elcapitan) got one on sunrise in Sac county a few months back. A police car noticeably followed him down sunrise for several blocks before getting on the loud speaker and telling him to turn right at the next street and pull over. He did so. The officer walked up to the car and first words out of his mouth "nice speedy subaru". Of course Chris has a 110 hp 1.8l, but it was obvious the cop was perfectly comfortable stereotyping him. The cop told Chris he clocked him going 71 or something like that. Of course Chris had been driving nice and slow as the cop was following him for several blocks. Complete BS. Anyways, in the trial by written declaration Chris wrote everything that had happened, but lost. Then when he requested a new trial, the DA denied his request.
Worthless is not strong enough of a word to describe some police officers. It's bad enough not doing your job but it's frightening to see a cop stir up trouble where there is none. ***ing worthless.

Didnt chris have the straightpipe muffler on when he was pulled over? Or was this a seperate incident?
Its wierd, other than his big spoiler, his car looked just like mine, yet he gets into all sorts of trouble with the popo

No exhaust, no spoiler (still doesn't have that on yet). The cop was clearly looking to bust some kid's *** simply for driving on sunrise on Friday night. Seriously, first words out of his mouth "nice speedy subaru".

I'm wondering if the Chris' written declaration contained the officer's quoted words? I don't know if it would make a difference but I would certainly include that offhand remark.
