Yeah, but too bad if you had plans for the evening or vacation. Especially if the case gets dismissed.

 

courts during the day, it does blow if I worked the night before, but thats rare.

it does'nt work like that. They will rescheduled before they dismiss a case.

 

Around here it's in the evening. Officer doesn't show and defendant objects to a continueance the case is dimissed. I know this first hand.

Though I was wasn't referring to an officer not showing. But the, admittedly rare, instance when a defendant wins his case . It's not always cut and dried for the officer. Especially if you have a completely unbiased judge.

 

I personally think that this whole mess was a case of an officer seeing a guy drawing attention to himself and trying to shut me down. I changed insurance policies back in april. Apparently the DMV didn't get the memo and the officer didn't care to let me make the call to verify my insurance (I didn't have my current card w/ me either). They confiscated my plates as well, left me sitting on the side of the road and gave me a ticket for not having insurance either.

 

I don't think so... But I could be wrong.
Though your wheel lights are cool and flashy- they are somewhat of a distraction that could potentially cause hazard because of that fact.

Just my opinion

Also- here in Sunny California, court is held during the day.

 

so it turns out the cop was a jeeper...

 

In most states all you need to do is show the court you had insurance at the time, and then that one will go away. Usually they don't take the plates though unless your registration has expired, but it is the law to have your insurance card in the vehicle at all times, so I am not sure why you are complaining for being caugh breaking the law?

As far as the wheels go, I think everyone takes pride in what they do to their Jeep, wheather it is someone running 40" tires and a snorkel, or somone running 22" wheels. As long as you like it and take pride in it that's all that matters, but if they say the lights are illegal, I would assume they are. I know that in Iowa a vehicle is required to have one amber side marker on the front of the vehicle, and one red side marker on the rear. I know that those wheels would be classified as illegal around here if used on the highway. Also I have seen some states where if the light moves (other than emergency vehicles, and vehicle required to use warning lights) they are illegal as well.

 

That is so freakin ridiculous. Not to mention how unsafe it is to everyone on the road to have such a disctraction.

 

We haven't used radar in years, speed is now measured by laser. More accurate and easier to prove in court.
