damn, imagine if i only had to pay $17/month for car insurance....

and i swear, you always make the comical remarks in every thread LOL



not necessarily. admission of guilt = more for the officer to us against you if you took it to court and the LEO showed up.

btw, LEO's are paid to show up to court, so unless they have another important matter to attend to, you can expect them to show. also, the LEO will be more worried about whether the ticket will stick or be dismissed.

when i was in high school, i unfortunately got stopped and i was already annoyed about something. i flat out told the LEO to hurry up with everything b/c i didn't have time for his sh*t. of course, he decides to take his sweet @$$ time, so out with the questions to ensure all his i's were dotted and t's crossed. in the end, his radar gun wasn't calibrated prior to his shift, and that was what ultimately got me off at the stop (i.e. never got the ticket).
