Trial by Declaration

I just don't approve of side-stepping the technicalities of the law, just because you can, especially when you are truly guilty. I don't know your unique conviction(s) here nor am i concerned with the details, but unless truly prejudicial, I would have just paid the fine and be done with it.

There is something to be said of someone with honor and integrity.

Meerzee, I think your comments are a little off-base, for the following reasons:

1) David is not crying nor whinning.
2) You did not even read his prior post- details are important when making sweeping comments like you have, your way is reckless
3) No need for the honor and integrity stab

Meerzee, I would add to say, while I agree with a lot of what you said, just not in the context of David's post.

Comments noted, and I respect your difference of opinion. I still firmly hold fast to the belief that if someone is knowingly in the wrong and are duly cited for violation of that statute then they -should- face the consequences of those offenses. Is that too much to ask?

(TriGem2K), how in the hell does that have anything to do with free speech or "innocent until proven guilty"? That sounds more like "guilty but hiding over here until I can figure out a way to avoid consequences of my own actions" ---

And you say that behavior is honorable?????
(not talking about David at all in this response) just responding to subsequent commentary on this thread.

I guess my point in all of this is truly that I would expect this behavior & prevalent reckless disregard on a Dodge Neon/Cavalier maybe even a ricer forum, but here at a Porsche forum? I just figured that there would be more of a refined and less immature nature. Spouting off and bragging about how someone feels "taller" that they avoided a ticket going 124 and how the cop probably feels dumb now, just sounds quite irresponsible & almost juvenile.

Isn't that the epitomy of "poser" behavior?

David, sorry didn't intend on getting off topic.

Congrats again on the dismissle.

One can't be guilty of a victimless crime. For anyone wanting some additional ideas for fighting traffic tickets, please read:

It is not finished yet, but already has a wealth of knowledge. I am sharing what I have learned, as I believe that it is more honorable to fight injustice than to just do whatever one is told to do.

Legal and moral are not synonymous.

One final point: If all the due process steps were not properly followed, then no violation occurred. All elements must happen for the cause to continue (or at least they are supposed to happen).
