The point of my post was - do you really want to put yourself in a situation where you would have to waste your time to even go to court, much less have your trip interrupted by some hard-a55 cop who just stopped someone for trying to spoil his party?

Before everyone gets all worked-up, ask yourself that question.

I said I warn other drivers of speed traps, and was just mentioning a past experience that I didn't find very pleasant. I'm careful when I warn other drivers because of that experience.

I don't want to be pulled over for anything whether it's ticket I can beat in court or just a warning.

I may be misunderstanding, but it sounds like you're saying we shouldn't exercise our rights out of the inconvenience of being pulled over and possibly wrongfully ticketed?

If you want to take it to the extreme, I guess you're right.

To take it even to a further and admittedly ridiculous extreme - Call me "Guilty as Charged" since I've got better things to do than defend the Constitution after trying to help a perfect stranger from getting caught breaking the law.

I can think of a number of things I could do to improve the quality of life in my community.

I'll continue to flash, but I'm careful when I do. That is my point.

I think I'm done with this one. We are so far off topic now - my apologies - that the discussion is really getting silly. Kuddos to the guys that want to fight the fight for all of our benefit.

Cheers
