Also, about not paying the ticket...the old expression "ignorance of the law is not an excuse" will surely apply; I seriously doubt it'll work for the judge.

Well see these laws are not passed because of said reasons, they are passed because people don't like hearing a car going 'boom boom boom' past their house while they are sleeping. I turn the amp's gain down in areas where there are alot of houses at night, I was pulled in a bussiness district.

As for begin less aware, I suppose you are, but I like to think of myself as a good driver because I do keep an eye on whats around me. Case in point the day I got pulled for speeding, I could'nt hear the trooper but I could see the blue lights in my rear view. Well acully I had an eye on him before he turned on the blue lights (he was gaining on me quick and I thought he was some idiot trying to race me at first because he was in a unmarked car).

Hey at least I don't talk on my cell phone while I drive

The fine I will pay if ordered to, but I will explain my situation to the judge at least, and hopfully he will give me a break. I'm not one of the fools that caused this law to get passed, the ricers in town are.

I really don't understand these ricers,

"Hey man I got this great idea, lets take this car from oversea's and throw a ++++ load of stickers on it for products we don't own, put some neon lights under it just to get some attention from the law man and while we are at it lets get a stereo installed and play it as loud as possible infront of the hospital at mid-night"

The kids in this town really need something to do! heh

i am a police officer in the state of pennsylvania. There mearly city ordninces they vary from city to city here. I for one choose not to waste the time writing a ticket for petty ++++ such as Window film (Tint) Or the Noise Pollution Law which is here in the state of pa if you can here the radio 50 ft from the car After 11pm you are in violation. I will however stop someone and ask them to turn it off for the evening. fines can range from 100 - 350.00

See if this would have happened last night I would have said yes sir and left the damn stereo off until the next day. I wish there where more cops like you where I live man, everyone I have had to deal with save one has treated me like I was the scum of the earth. I don't know why these guys act this way but they give the rest of you a bad image, no wonder the people yell '++++ the police' all the time now a days.

Keep up the good work and stay safe!
