My victory in court

So today I went to court for my drag racing ticket. These tickets are 12 points in CO. I went in and got my plea bargain. It was actually a damn good deal all things considered. They offered me 5 points speed exhibition, $150 fine and traffic school. Not a bad deal at all. However, I sat there and thought about it and thought you know, I wasn't "really" racing. What happened was that these two guys were at my rear and they started racing. I got on it just til I panned out with them then let off. When the cop came out form behind some bushes, the Stang and Saturn actually gunned it and I got pulled over :roll: He siad he heard me from 6 blocks away. Only problem is, where the light is I was sitting at was only 1/2 a block away. I never went over 55mph. I took off normal at the light. So anyway, I decide to go in and talk to the city attorney. I told her what happened except I told her I had just turned on to the road where I got the ticket and the other guys were already on it and racing and they passed me like I was standing still. I told her about how the officer was parked behind some bushes that weren't easy to see through. Luckily, she banks there and new what I was talking about. The officer said I was in the right lane and the Mustang was in the left, I was actually in the middle and he was in the right, Saturn in the left :roll: this guy..... So I tell her you know the guy just was not paying close attention to the details. Then to top it all off, I gave him my insurance card and reg. where it clearly says GMC TYPHOON and he STILL managed to write that I was driving a Chevy Blazer :rotf: So she re-read the notes he wrote and she actually agreed with me. I told her the only thing I did was that I was going 55ish in a 45. She looks dead at me and says "if this paper work came to my desk as a four point speeding I would give you a plea offer of a 2 point unsafe vehicle and the fine would have been very similar and that is what I am going to go ahead and do :lol: I almost jumped out of my chair and did a back flip. She told me she doubted the officers story if put on the stand and that any crappy lawyer could get me out of it. So I walk away with 2 points, $150 fine :tup: In a way, the TY saved the day, proving once more that ignorance is all around us :lol:

BTW,when you floored it & the cop heard you from a long ways away,was your exhaust system open? Electric gate wide open?

Yep. I had it open for about 5 seconds.

Is all I can say.
Every time I have tried to argue anything in court I get lambasted and screwed.
I just pay an attorney.

Congrats Mike! I know how you feel. About 6 years ago my lawyer was able to get my 20 point ticket (drag race & reckless) down to 4 points. It was such a relief! I got that ticket in my first Typhoon.

Cool, the "its just a blazer fools the ricers and the cops'' I had a speeding ticket here in AL. and learnd a little trick. Got a receipt from a friend at a shop replaceing my speedo cable.Took it with me to court, when the prosecutor ask to see me after I plead not guilty she asked me why? and I told her because my speedometer had just broke the day before. she then asked me if I had some sort of proof I then handed her the receipt from the shop. The out come was my ticket was drop to ''defective equipment'' no points!!! the deal is when you go to traffic court they dont care they just want MONEY one way or the other!!!

Good for you. Choose your races carefully...gas and fines are way too expensive to be blasting all over town anymore and I guess they can turn your truck into a police vehicle now...crazy.
