"On the QT"? I'd suggest that you don't tell your cousin the lawyer that you
just posted something on the Internet that could lead to him being hauled
before the local bar's disciplinary board. Any halfwitted drunken shyster could
of course claim that you misunderstood him but your cousin would still have
cause to be ticked at you.
As for the rest, no offense meant but your case isn't exactly Miranda v.
Arizona. You are using a 2x4 to swat a gnat. Lighten up a little or you'll be
so pumped by the time you get to court anything less than an immediate public
execution of the bonehead that gave you a hard time and a bad ticket will be a
tremendous letdown. Since that is *most* unlikely to occur, I'd advise you to
throttle back a bit.
