Paul Wolfowitz is a judge, too? *L* Such knowledge of medicine, policing and the legal system! That must be a big family -- D Wade has a better chance of getting into Sir Charles's 5, than your network.
I, too am curious as to the super attorney's power. You'd think that an experienced lawyer would have a great deal of experience in trying similar cases, so you aren't forking over a lot of money for the attorney to do research. My guess is his argument would be similar to any number of cases he has already handled, right? 85% dismissal rate... a solid B, not exactly, "most every case"... wait, he does "consider himself" to be the best traffic ticket guy... So, you are paying by the hour... It's California, right? Probably $1k to park near the court... Not sure if California has to have a jury seated for this or whether you plead before a judge, so... is it about $1.5-2k/hr? Not a bad life. Of course, if you lose, you are looking into $4k plus fines, etc. If you haven't already, suck it up and talk to your dad (as suggested by many others in this thread) about the choices (especially if it is HIS policy that will be in question) rather than strangers on the internet.

What a bunch of jealous GUYS on this BB. Not that it matters but my dad worked in the county court system for 30 years, during that time I was exposed to numerous judges and their "off record" opinions. You would clearly be surprised at what they truly believe and how situations like this are handled. Unlike you I respect your right to your own thoughts, btw no need to worry about my Radiology abilites, you just worry about you and your job OK? Jesus, no wonder people think Porsche owners are pretentious nitwits, apparently some are.

jealous? of what? That I haven't gotten a ticket for doin' 124? Or than D Wade doesn't want to be in my 5? *L* Easy. You need to re-read your own posts before you condem everyone else's opinion. You make blanket statements (e.g. about the judicial system) and get offended by another's opinion? Maybe, I happen to be in law... maybe the police... what do you know (aside from "more" than me, right?) maybe I'm a judge suing for $65 mil over a misplaced pair of pants. As for the prententious comment, are you sure you know what that word means?

I don't care what you do, have a nice day...

Aw, how sweet. Thank you.

That aside, I still am curious and hope to hear what supa-lawya has to say.

Jeez, all I did was drive home from the office and this thread took a hard left and turned into a pissing contest. Cool.

I do take exception to the over-generalization that we're a bunch of dicks, when only two guys seem to be having a disagreement and the rest of us are just trying our best to help a kid who got himself in a jam.

How many dicks constitute a bunch anyway? Is it like six dicks is a bunch, or maybe twelve dicks? Do the dicks come in a paper sack like baguettes and you carry them home from the store with all the dicks sticking out the top of the bag?

C'mon ya pretentious nitwits, lighten up.

cfos, in all fairness, if you are the judge who is doing that, then all of us should be berating you.

[cfos]

@ Dr. Kill: True. No, I am not that judge. Likewise, not all judges are him, are corrupt, etc.

@Grizzly: Funny thing is, "prick" is the more commonly used term in the Northeast, and though I'm not up on my "Team America" speech, there are two other body parts included.

Sad to say, I've never seen Team America. I keep meaning to. If my account was off, forgive me, I'm just repeating the bunch of pricks I work with.

Oh, that is a good one. Very funny. We even bought the soundtrack.

That judge is THE MAN!!! My dry cleaner lost my favorite shirt of all time and then yelled at me for liking it so much while he blew smoke circles in my face.
I could do nothing but meekly protest that I would never bring another article of clothing to him again...while he laughed at me some more and the other patrons pretended not to know me.

hmm, it sounds like we might use the same dry cleaner.

[cfos]

I'm not fond of dry cleaners, although the current one we use is ok. From what I know of the story of the judge, the dry cleaners did find his pants 2 weeks later, offered him $12k and was rejected.

Team America is worth the rental, if only for that speech.
