THIS WAS ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO, MANY CAMERAS AGO!
so i just finished my rearvision video system for my bike, but still didnt have audio yet, but was very anctious to see how the video looked, camera angle, glare act... so i ride out of the city around the airport, connect my portable dvr and im off.. shortly into the ride i pass a car and there was a cop behind traffic that i didnt see, so i continue speeding but nuth'n crazy, meanwhile the cop is trying to catch up, but i didnt notice, after a few miles he finally catches up and pulls me over, im think'n he just seen me speeding in the last 1/2 mile or so, needless to say he was flipp'n, i unplugged the dvr from dash before he noticed, my dvr had lots of vidz of wheelies ect.. so i didnt want him to see it, i convinced him i never seen him til he was behind me, he wrote me up for reckless driving (and that was all the ticket said, no details), OUCH!!! he could have wrote me for many other things plus tow my bike, so he turned out to be cool with me. i drove away think'n worse case, i could plea bargain to careless driving which still sucks but way beter than reckless! NOW DONT READ ANY MORE TIL YA WATCH THE VIDEO!

so 3 months pass and im in court think'n it will be a smooth plea bargain, its now my turn to talk to the district attorney as soon as i suggested a plea he said oh no i cant plea this, and im like whatta ya mean you cant plea this, he said "i read what you did" and i said "what did you read" he said read your ticket, i said my ticket only says wreckless driving, he then dug out his copy of my ticket and the description was chok full of offenses, including some that he sorta made up/embelished (remember he didnt know about my cams), he said he saw me u-turn and cut off the van he was behind which the vid clearly shows was not the case, another attorney there told me i may get it dropped because he didnt put details on my ticket, but the da said no dismissle(i didnt have a lawyer) i was a bit pissed about the extra offenses he included, at first i forgot about the video so i was pissed then i go sit back down until i realize i can prove some were not true, i then jump up saying i have this uncut on video i told the da the vid clearly shows i never made a u-turn or cut off that van, so when court ressumes im gonna request a cont to return with video and a lawyer, the judge comes out, the da confers with judge, the judge then calls my name, (full courtroom)when i stand up the judge says those magic words "MR. ROCKETEER, YOUR CASE IS DISMISSED" ( he really did call me mr. rocketeer, haha) i was so juiced on my way out , i turned around and said "you da man" to the judge in front of a full courtroom! hahaha THATS ONE FOR THE TWO-WHEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THOUGHT YOU GUYZ MIGHT GET A KICK OUT OF THIS!
