Dad was a noted criminal defense attorney in the city. We fought the ticket in court. Case dismissed.

Only once for me. I was making a left turn and there were a bunch of cars coming on my right, so I made a mad dash to make my turn before they got there. Turn was successful, but a block later i hear a police siren whelp. Cop says, "The reason I stopped you, was because when you made that left turn, you went directly into the
#2 lane instead of the
#1 lane." If that was the case, he should have been pulling over about 50% of the cars making that same turn the same way. Damned small town cops. I hated them then and still do.
I will never know the real reason he pulled me over, but it's a moot point since i just got a warning. I was "holding" a Penthouse magazine in my backpack at the time, but fortunately I wasn't searched.
