So I had a first today. I got a speeding ticket a few weeks ago, and went to court today to fight it. I don't feel I was going as fast as the cop said I was, and I have NEVER been pulled over in the 13 years I had my license. So I went hoping for some leniency--I didn't want my insurance to go up! And it would have. My awesome friend, Jen, came as my lawyer. And it worked! They picked her out of the crowd apparently, and took her up to talk to the prosecutor. They worked out a plea and got me a non-moving violation!! And, we got to go to the front of the line! I could have been there for hours. It worked out awesome! No points on the record! Will just show up as a headlight violation. Looking serious, dressing the part and having my lawyer there helped. It is laughable how we are about the only people there that even dress decent! West Chester's finest were in that courtroom this morning. One guy even had his shirt on inside out! Really? Glad it is done and over with!

Glad it worked out so well for you. Dustin is actually doing a 'citizen's police academy' where he learns all about the workings of our police station. He said he signed up so he can get to know all the officers and get out of future tickets :)
Smart of you to leave the Waffle House uniform at home. And the baby.
Sigh. Aren't we glad that's over with! Good times, good times.
