TheMarshMan1 0 #1 January 23, 2002 No, it really isnt........It was a beautiful day here in NY today, but since I couldnt jump, I decided to go for a fly. Unfortunately, that meant I would have to drive an hour (round trip) to go get a push-to-talk switch, since mine died one day. So anyways, I'm driving back from the FBO at Rochester, and guess what...Yup, you guessed it....I get pulled over by a friggin sherriff. JUST what I need right now, another ticket. Well, to make things even merrier- its 2 for 1 day at the Monroe County Sherrifs Department!!!!! Woo hoo. Damn. Well, after sitting on the side of the road and snickering as the guy got writers cramp writing my tickets (hehehehe, thats a lot of writing...that still makes me chuckle ) I came home with a ticket for doing 71 in a 55 (not unreasonable, considering it had just dropped from 65 and everyone around me was doing the same speed as me), and heres the kicker: my window tinting is a whopping 3% too f&cking dark (mine is 27.3% and the legal limit is 30%). I used to tint windows for people all the time back in high school- the human eye can BARELY (and I do mean barely) tell the difference between the two. So yeah, I got one for that too....how rediculous is that?At first I was thinking this was going to put my trip to FreezeFest in serious jeopardy, but after looking at the tickets, I see that the court date isnt until like Feb. 11th...so as long as my work schedule permits, I'm still gonna be there (lol, hopefully the court takes Visa)!!!!!!!Sorry for the rant.....Blue skies,-Marshall Oh yea, and I did get to fly...more than I bargained for, but thats another story....

lazerq3 0 #2 January 23, 2002 Shouldnt the ticket for the tint just ba a fixit ticket in where you have like ten days to fix it and the ticket will be dropped??jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMarshMan1 0 #3 January 23, 2002 I'm gonna march my ass in there and plead not guilty to that one. Thats absolutely rediculous....like I said, I know what Im talking about when it comes to that, and its very hard to tell the difference. I wanna say the guy was just being an asshole, but I have nothing but respect for law enforcement (and not just because of today) and I realize that its their job, and they have the right to hand out tickets for illegal things (as assinine as they may be ). Oh, and to answer your question...no, I dont think it is that kinda ticket... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
