[QUOTE="Happy Rider, post: 794102, member: 18937"] Ignacio is correct. It all depends on the court. Every judge is different and the way they interpret the law can be 180 degrees different from judge to judge. Some let everything go and others drop the hammer. I've even heard judges say things like: "Before I pronounce you guilty do you have anything to say." or "I do believe that you are guilty but I'm going to let this be your warning." In my area the judge wants proof, not just something you heard by ear. It's frustrating because I know what a loud straight pipe sounds like, but the judges don't think this is reasonable. They want to know exactly how loud. The only LEOs that I know of that have been successful in court are the local Sonora PD Officers who use decibel meters. Speed enforcement is the same. Some areas hammer you at 10 mph over the limit and some don’t even bother until 20 mph over. It all depends on where you commit the crime. I’ve seen drunk driver get 126 days house arrest for killing a passenger and I’ve seen drunk drivers get 8 month in jail for breaking a passengers jaw in a crash. There truly is no uniformity in the way laws are interpreted, prosecuted, and enforced. [/QUOTE]
