I suspect he IS a KNOWN jerk around that courthouse.

I have only seen a few crossfires in laffy, blue srt6 convert, a black coupe going by Home Hospital on Wednesday, your red, and I assume another red.
I saw in the J&C that Twin City has a crossfire for sale as you mentioned, 12950.

Re: Well Sh:t... I got a ticket.
Well finally got one. 55/40 at 11:15 pm Sat night. I let my wife talk me into going to her company xmas party. Luckily I am not a drinker. What really pissed me off was when I looked at the ticket on Sunday morning. I noticed the cop wrote that it was a 2005 CHEV. Guess he thought it was a Corvette..........LOL
Hmmmmmmmm. Is That grounds for having the ticket thrown out.
No radar....Said I was going over 60......... Wife didn't think I was speeding. I had rabbit started from the light, but slowed down when I hit 50.
He was a young wet behind the ears cop. I start to understand why some people have a bug up their asses regarding police.

It turns out the judge looked at the ticket and threw it out because it had the wrong street/block number. I won on a technicality that I didn't even know about.

I see your car almost EVERY time I am in Lafayette, sitting in the same spot in front of KOHL'S.
Where does your wife work, in the mall?

Re: Well Sh:t... I got a ticket.
this car gets noticed enough without driver awareness. in this economy? with public service agencies cutting waaay back? the only time i drive "significantly" over the speed limit is between large farms.

Well, I recently picked up a radar detector. Not that I usually speed (under 5 over usually), but it cannot hurt to know where they are hanging out.

Re: Well Sh:t.. I got a ticket.
Yeah, cruising in the left lane is also illegal in Illinois - stupid laws. I was reading up on a suspended license - to get it back you need an SR-22 - which basically doubles or triples your insurance - and ytou HAVE to maintain your insurance unbroken for 3 years - isn't this like being punished twice for one "crime"?? These assinine rules have been fought by brave lawyers quite a few times - all loses!

Re: Well Sh:t... I got a ticket.
Also , for traffic violations - as opposed to serious crimes like murder or rape- Even if you can prove that the cop pulled you over for a false and trumped up reason - that does NOT dissallow any evidence that they find after the stop - there is NO fruit of the poison tree for traffic stops - I am not sure how they get away with this (sorry oleguy)- does not really sound like a free state on the face of it. This has been fought and lost many times by brave lawyers in a court of law.
