[QUOTE=Johnnie;10883]But when you get Officer Square Nuts writing tickets .... and giving tickets to sober riders, that's uncalled-for IMO.[/QUOTE]


So.... sober riders never break any laws??[/QUOTE]

I should have clarified that as pertaining to the context of a rolled stop. It should be a judgement call by the officer. Say a rider doesn't come to a complete stop (which is defined as a 2 count) but rolls through a wide-open, completely visible intersection after slowing to a creep. A warning should suffice if the rider isn't intoxicated and I actually think it's a good thing if a warden stops that rider. Use the reason of a rolled stop to check for the bigger problem. If he's sober, give him a warning.

If a rider is stone sober but really asking for it by blatantly violating the law, that rider deserves a ticket.

Yep. Big group that was there when we got there and still there when we left. Not sure what they were shooting but we made sure we got out of the area before they could get back on their sleds.

[quote]So.... sober riders never break any laws??[/quote]Nope. Just Outlaws break laws.... it doesn't matter if they're sober or not!

[QUOTE=Matt;10891]If a rider is stone sober but really asking for it by blatantly violating the law, that rider deserves a ticket.[/QUOTE]You know, it's probably more likely that the sober driver would give the officer a problem, because he's SOBER and well within the LAW. Knows he ain't breaking no laws. Whilst, the slightly tipsy driver may have a tendency to be a bit more timid.... knowing they just had the proverbial "two beers" at the last stop. And the stop before that... and maybe even the stop before that one! Yes [hic] Mr. Orficer, sir. Whatever you say.

Heard about this one guy that was asked by the officer to recite the ABC's ....and started A,..B,...c,...I'M @%$ked!

Kinda forgot to update this last spring when I heard the verdict but my case was dropped.

Just thought I would let everyone who fallowed this last winter know that its over!

Were you able to get it dropped through phone calls or did you have to appear in fron tof the judge or at least the DA and fight it?
Your experiance might be helpful to others....thanks,....and glad you were able to get it dropped.

Well what I did was i went back to where I went on the trails the day after being stopped and took pics and then sent them to the DAs office with descriptions on each photo along with a map showing where exactly it took place. From there it was maybe 3 phone calls to see if the had got the letter/photos another two to find out what the verdict was. cost a couple bucks to sent the photos but in the end saved me $200.
