And even if the Trooper had one, what is that going to prove? Forget the subpoena.
Also, that petition is complete heresay and inadmissable at trial.
You need to stay focused on what I posted earlier.

Roger, skip the petition. Roger use vital info on your 1st post(thanks again)They do have video, it only started when he turned on his lights. It will show that the officer pulled me over for my licence plate, not my exhaust. An on failing to ticket me for that, took a shot in the dark with my exhaust. And it will have the sound of my exhaust from as I slowed and came to a stop and turned off my car, and pointed right at his cruiser, from 10 feet away, as I started up and pulled away (very carefully). It will also show the officers lie, in stating he heard me as I went past him. In court he may state that this is the only reason he pulled me over and say nothing of the true cause of my pull over. While on the video it will clearly show the officers mistake. You would still suggest no video?
Do you have any suggestions on conducting the tests with the Sound Meter? I figure to video the tests, as well as make a writen record of the results. But should I just conduct the the tests at random times in the center of town. How many should I do, 20, 50 100? How many would would be enough to have a fair sample of average? Also, after I have it all together, do I need to fill out any form to submit it for evidence? Or just bring it with my documentation? Or is that not admissible? How else am I to determine what is "normal" for culpeper, and not "excessive" or "Unusualy Loud". I already ordered the meter, and is the only true way I can think of to take a real mesure. A factual reading has to be better then an officers opinion. (Unless he hunts on the weekend with the Judges son, and I am screwed)

Buddy. I cannot let it go. If I just pay the fine, then I will be admitting guilt. This will open the door of every police in culpeper to pull me over for it, untill I get tired of paying the $100 fees and fines, and I have it removed. I have to nip this now. I like my exhaust. There is nothing wrong with it. It is not "Defective" or "Excessive". Its tasteful, and I dont want a different one. They should not be aloud to continue to harass me for it. I'm getting tired of all these vague, non specific laws they use in Va. You should hear the crap they make you do to get your civil rights back.
