Went to court for spinning tires.. Options

[PowellCelica]

when to court yesterday, almost got 6 months in prison for spinning my tires getting onto a main late one night with no traffic around. I got pulled over by 5 cops and thrown outta my car and they tore my car apart looking for something. Judge ruled 200 dollar fine and 20 hours driving school.......i'm pissed but better then jail time.

What has this world come to when someone can get away with murder but almost get sent to jail for spinning his tires....

They ain't arseholes man, just do you little fun things elsewhere, like at a designated parking lot on weekends. Ask warehouses or ocmpanies that are closed on weekends if you could use their parking lot, because if you get written permission to do that there then if the cops happen to come around you whip out the papers and they leave.

Sucks you almost got sent to jail, but you were spinning your tires so whatever you did get you deserved. I'm not saying I don't do these things, I just don't get caught doing it...and most times it's legally done at the autocross meets and tracks.

And Powell, in Minnesota and many other states...that's been a law for long time. Even if it wasn't a law, I'd get the hell out of their way because why would I would to get in the way of some ambulance or fire truck trying to save someone's life, or a cop trying to catch someone committing an actual severe crime. I figured it was common sense to pull to the side when you see flashing lights in your rear-view, maybe I was wrong.
