re: Have you ever evaded an arrest/ticket?

A cop gave me a ticket for drag racing one time that was complete bullshite.

I was in my 2004 Mustang Mach 1 that had an off road H pipe. My buddy and I were going to meet some people at Don Carter's for quarter night. I was at the red light on Airline less than a block from the bowling alley, next to a semi truck.

Because of the off road pipe, my car was fairly loud. I took off at my usual pace, nothing crazy, but my blinker on, and turned in. As I pull into a parking spot, I notice blue and red lights flashing behind me. My buddy and I were fairly confused why a cop was blocking us in.

He orders me to exit the vehicle slowly, and asks for my papers. I ask what the problem is, and he tells me I was drag racing. I laughed and asked if he was serious. He said he was. I asked him whom I was racing, and he informed me that he didn't see me, but heard me from across the street and he knew I was drag racing. He then informed me that he had to take my license because of the drag racing charge. I would have argued with him, but I had had a couple beers before we left.

Fast forward to my court date, I sit down with the ADA. She asks me what I want to plead. I tell her not guilty, then tell her what the cop told me about not even seeing me. She says to give her a sec and leaves. She comes back about 5 minutes later, and tells me the charges are dropped and I'm free to go.
