It was November 19, then January 15, then February 15, then May 19th. I was on the waiting list, but am leaving on the 13th so I will have to see if I can pick one up from Targer or Walmart in South Carolina.
I cant wait

how to aggravate a judge, by irrationalX
Begin your defense by questioning the officer. use questions like:
"you stated there are allot of visual obstructions on this strech of roadway that obscured my view and made my speed dangerous. If i was traveling in a low visibility area how were you able to visually approximate my speed from over a quarter of a mile away?"
judge: "what are you trying to get at?"
me: "i was attempting to ascertain how exactly the officer was able to approximate my speed without seeing me"
judge: "why dont you try another question"
me: "Officer, in your statement you said that you initiated the stop and then approached my vehicle. Dont you think that me pulling into where you were parked and asking 'where would you like me to park?' would be considered me initiating a surrender? No pursuit was initiated and to my knowledge you never turned your lights on.
Furthermore, isnt it logical to assume that since i completed a very safe maneuver after identifying that i was being targeted that my speed was safe and reasonable? i would argue that if my speed was unsafe for conditions i would have been unable to execute such a maneuver would you agree?"
Judge: "try that again without all the argumentative parts..."
me: "im sorry your honor, i was under the impression that the courts in our country are an adversarial system which would require me to be argumentative in order to mount an adequate defense."
judge: ****unhappy face****
