This is the part where you say hummmm...

I totaled my car and it's in a lake and I have no money for a new one.

I got a ticket for being a nuesance in public and I can't affort the fine if I buy a new toy to make more noise in public.

I resent having to act like an adult, yet I want to be taken seriously like one.

I wonder what it's like in jail?

Car? I totaled my 4 wheeler. You know the things that are like dirt bikes but with 4 wheels? Maybe you call em atv's?

And I can aford the fine, I just don't think I should pay it, like I already said many times in this thread that will be for the judge to decide. The new amp is required so I can have sponsership on my car, I just trying to make some loot off a hobby .

Unless you where talking about the new 4 wheeler I want...well right now I don't have one to ride, and there is nothing better then hitting the trails in the summer time with my friends and riding all day.

All of these experiences people have had... makes me want to be a safe driver. (Was always planning to be anyway )

I doubt you're required to use it while driving to qualify for whatever you're doing, though.

Sorry to sound like I'm attacking you, but I don't think you have a prayer of getting out of the ticket, and from the story I've heard thus far, I don't really think you should (no offense).

It is the citizens resposbility to keep up with all local, state, and federal laws aswell as their city ordinance. And I agree with whomever said ignorance of the law is not a valid defense. And to Johnny, as someone else also said, more crooks are caught by vehicle/moving violations than anything else.

As a principle: Ignorance of the law is no defence.

But I do agree you should fight it - how loud was the stereo really?

Or you're writing the guidance algorythm for a JDAM or some such.

Erwin it is loud by normal people standards, right now its a rather weak set-up tho, compared to some cars I have seen.

With the windows up like they where the night I got pulled, you might be able to hear it at 30 feet away, maybe. My car is very air-tight so bass is the only thing you can hear outside of it, but honestly the trunk rattles so much you probbly hear more of it then the bass.

Its loud, but i'm sure you can't hear it two blocks away. The cop was so close to the road when I passed him I am sure he heard the bass when I went by tho.

I don't want to repeat this experance so I am going to get all the information I can about this law tomorrow afternoon. For now I will just have to keep nightly runs to places outside of the city, and turn the external amp's off (or turn the gain down) when I enter town.

Why not sell some of your audio equipment and put the cash towards rent? Girls don't dig bass, but they will dig your own pad :nervous:

Tgillespie:

Some of my parts are custom. I am hoping that if I can get this car into comp that a few people will like my box and place some orders. Right now I got a 10 inch sub in the trunk in this box and it blows everyones mind, I have had a few offers for it already but I know I can get some more money out of them when they see what it will really do with proper power driving the sub.
