In case you didn't realize it MR. Hunt, most of the things that go on in the
legal world are done "on the QT." Secondly, do you have any idea what my
cousins name is? This might not be LA here, but we at least 200 lawyers in
this town, probably 20 percent dealing in probate. So I don't think my
cousin has anything to worry about.
I realize this isn't a case of major legal ramifications. But if this case
is allow to stand, it could affect all of the bikers in this town in a
negative way. The only result I want out of this whole thing is just for
the ticket to go away, and for that young officer to understand the rights
that a bicycle has on the roads of Arkansas.
As far as using a 2X4 to swat a gnat, I consider it more of a shotgun
approach. Like I said, all I care about is that I don't have to pay that
stupid ticket. What ever it takes to prevent that is what it takes. Like I
have already said, I don't anticipate this case ever reaching court and that
is fine, but I will tell you right now, I don't intend to go up to the
municipal building and pay that ticket before my court date.
Will I go to jail rather than pay that ticket? No. If I was looking to go
to jail, I could have probably got my self thrown in jail that night when he
stopped me. But I will do everything short of going to jail to keep from
paying that stupid ticket. Sometimes you just have to stand up for what is
right.
