Looking on info on Va Laws (mufflers and exhaust)

UPDATE!

I went to court today. The state trooper gave his edited report. I questioned the officer. He admited to knowing nothing about exhaust systems. He admited to knowing nothing about decibels. He admited to not having a decibel meter. I brought video proof that my car is no louder then then most other cars and quieter then many.

The only "evidence" brought against me was the trooper stating that he thought it "sounded loud".

The judge said he finds me guilty.

I ask him how can I be found guilty, by only the unprofessional opinion of one person? With no evidence against me, and me being with in the law, and standing there with proof of it?

He told me that it would be bad to get charged with contempt of court, for only a defective equipment charge.

I tell you all right now I have nothing but contempt for the court and the whole justice system. I went strait to the clercks window and filed an appeal. While doing that the next 2 sets of people who came out stopped and told me "Way to go" and "Good job" and could not believe what they just saw. I still cant believe it, how on Earth is that legal? We no longer need proof to convict someone of a crime. You just need someone to think you broke the law and BAM guilty.
