Just my cynical nature
That's ok - I hear voices sometimes...

Thanks for the "production quality" compliment though, I do try to put some effort into my videos. More examples here:

Eat or be ett..law of the jungle
Of course I edited it. Otherwise there would be another 15 minutes of watching me sit there and wait.

As far as the alleged "speeding" part, my 14 year old son advised me that it might be smart to not include that.

I do agree with you - You got to pay to play - And I deserved the ticket. Guess it was just my lucky day...

I got nailed pulling out of my development 2 days ago. Guy on a motorcycle sat and watched me wind out 1st gear merging into traffic. Wrote me for disobeying a traffic device instead of 51 in a 35. Sucks, but I was speeding. Had no idea what 1st gear was good to on my car.

Maybe I SHOULD replace the HUD...again.

The Carolina troopers are really aggressive When issuing tickets. I received one ticket going thru The state and one coming back. Not good!!!

Default ticket

I have been quite lucky over the years in regards to speeding tickets/warnings...always driven cars that stood out in a crowd, 81, 89, 95, 96 camaro, now the '74 'Vette (bright blue)...

My only suggestion is to be respectful, around here in Boston, I would necessarily agree with yes sir/no sir...keep hands on the steering wheel and if you have a passenger, hands on their lap...When asked for registration if in the glovebox, make eye contact and let him know that you are going to retrieve it from the glovebox...when asked for your license again, let him know where you are going to get it from, often mine is in my inside (left) jacket upper pocket...this will lessen his worries in my opinion...Above all, this is a bit tricky, but I would try not to answer his question as to why you were speeding as that can be used against you in traffic court....lastly don't lie, if you are going to make any statements to the officer, do NOT lie...if you weren't wearing your seatbelt, don't wrestle to put it on very quick...I heard that they watch for that...lastly, just talk to them like they are a regular person, since they are, difference: they have a gun and can take you to jail!

A quick google found more cases...

Like I said above, a lot of these are thrown out, but how much time and money did they lose over the matter.
Wow ! Watched the first one. Anyone know what happened to Michael Allison? I googled it but nothing more current than the Aug 2011 story.

Charges dropped by the judge. As are all of these cases. The US Appeals courts have ruled there is no expectation of privacy but the police while performing their duties the the public arena.

All of these cases are nothing more than police trying to be the law instead of enforcing the law. They can't tolerate the public questioning their authority and lash out at those that do.

Judge Rejects Eavesdropping Charges for Recording Police


Michael Allison, an Illinois man who faced a potential sentence of 75 years in prison for recording police officers and attempting to tape his own trial, caught a break last week when a state judge declared the charges unconstitutional.

The Seattle Police have a habit of "misplacing" video that doesnt portray them in a favorable light. "discovery" or right to public access aside, it has been well documented in a few cases by the local news channels. In car cameras have disappeared when lawsuits have been filed, or new crews make public requests. A few of the tapes turned up later, fully corroborating the civilians accounts of what happened.

I hope it doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

Evidently, getting to the truth and justice isn't always important.
You can say that again!
