Citation For Inoperable/Unlicensed Vehicle On Property ????

[THE YETI]

That's what's wrong with society today. Everyone gets off on a technicality. Never mind the fact that a law was broken, but someone writes a 4 that looks like a 9 and they get off with murder. Smh

Sure doesn't look like a 32D.303.8 to me. I still thinks it's beatable on a technicality. You're accused of violating 32D.303.8. Nowhere in that is a 4.

Here is the whole thing
Some of these ordinances are never enforced
Section in red is what I was cited for

[THE YETI]

It's a stupid law to some. To me, I love it. Glad you got it worked out.

 

[HDRock1]

The good thing is, it got me motivated to get it fixed and, I got most of the work done quicker cuz I had a dead line.
I even told the cop he was a good motivator.
The other good thing is, no fine to pay.
