[QUOTE="fenceman, post: 1310244, member: 23460"] Tb I think I 've got a another example. I was stopped several years ago in lampasas , you know south of town on183. The speed limit goes from 45 to 35 to 45 in a few hundred yards. I was admittedly distracted talking to my son and was stopped for being slightly over the limit. I was also pulling a empty tumbelbug. The trooper ask about the lack of plates and lights. I told him it's a hay trailer their not required. He became angry and wrote me tickets for both offenses. Now I was fortunate. In lampasas county you call judge Garcia and usually he answers the phone. I told him I would gladly pay the speeding ticket (the only one I've ever got)but the others I didn't feel I had broke the laws. He agreed, but still having to adhere to due process I was required to take him a photo of the trailer and he dismissed the tickets. You can bet if I had received the tickets in a bigger city, I would have had to spend at least a day fighting the tickets because of the troopers ignorance. That's my point. Leo needs to be expected to do things properly, just like any professional. Not to use their powers to simply sweep people up and let the courts filter the good from the bad. [/QUOTE]
