Good to see the ETR Police Mods have banned every red-blood American who dares fight a traffic ticket in Blount County. Except for Wolfman, who hired a hired gun to defeat a bogus "reckless driving" ticket, since crossing a centerline in a Goldwing does not meet the "essential elements" for RD (see TN Code below). But Wolf does an exceptional job of keeping his advice to himself, so no ETR ban for Mr PokerFace.
The latest ETR speed ticket thread lacks a single comment to fight the bogus ticket. Just roll over, open your ahole, and start sucking dick is ETR's advice. This particular THPolice State death squad member has now been mobilized under Martial Law by the Pentagon to oppress other slaves throughout USA for 2011, by enforcing the Communist Manifesto and defending the terrorists from arrest for their treasons.

And THP loves drivers to suck their dicks during traffic stops...ask Barbie Cummings.
Every speed ticket at 30 mpg over the posted limit is prosecuted as "reckless driving", though this charge does not meet the "essential elements" under TN Code. RD qualifies for a permanant ban of driver license under the TN Habitual Motor Vehicle Offender Act. Typical ticket cost to plead guilty to the crime of speeding on the Dragon is $250.
TN Code 55-10-205. Reckless driving.
(a) Any person who drives any vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property commits reckless driving.
(b) A person commits an offense of reckless driving who drives a motorcycle with the front tire raised off the ground in willful and wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property on any public street, highway, alley, parking lot, or driveway, or on the premises of any shopping center, trailer park, apartment house complex, or any other premises that are generally frequented by the public at large; provided, that the offense of reckless driving for driving a motorcycle with the front tire raised off the ground shall not be applicable to persons riding in a parade, at a speed not to exceed thirty miles per hour (30 mph), if the person is eighteen (18) years of age or older.
(c) (1) Any motor vehicle operator who knowingly ignores a clearly visible and adequate flood warning sign or barricade and drives into a road area that is actually flooded commits reckless driving. In addition to the penalties imposed pursuant to subsection (d), the court may order the operator to pay restitution to defray the taxpayer cost of any rescue efforts related to such violation.
(2) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section, which must be proven by a preponderance of the evidence, that the operator's driving through the flood warning sign or barricade was necessitated by a bona fide emergency.
(3) This subsection (c) shall not apply to an emergency vehicle. “Emergency vehicle” means a vehicle of a governmental department or public service corporation when responding to any emergency, or any vehicle of a police or fire department, or any ambulance.
(d) A violation of this section is a Class B misdemeanor.
Reckless driving is a very serious criminal offense, with six months in jail and a $500 fine, plus court costs.
The Dragonater has been posting for years the fact of law that a winning defense to speeding and RD on the Dragon is the fact that the 30 mph speed limit is invalid on the Dragon. This is according to USDOT, TN Code and a court order by TN Supreme Court Judge Sharon Lee (The Dragonater's cousin who threatens to sue for mentioning that fact).
Mere speeding tickets are only 30 days in jail as a "small offense" criminal misdemeanor.
The ETR ticket probably came from THP death squad ETR member JD, at the .5MM Speed Trap. End of the month means THP's illegal quota of 700 tickets per trooper per year, which is a violation of TN Code.
THP increased biker tickets on the Dragon by 11,400%, but has no problem ticketing cars and trucks as well...with tractor trailers granted immunity.
Why fight a ticket, when it's easier to plead guilty and pay $100s for a crime that stays on your record FOREVER? Paying for a bogus "driving school" does nothing to educate you. But fighting your ticket is a free "law school". Speeding tickets are the easiest of all lawsuits to win, once you get mad enough to want to learn how to do it.
If you're going to pay your hard-earned money, you might as well LEARN something, which can only be done by investing in your own law library. The National Motorists Association has a Ticket Defense Kit, which includes NOLO's excellent book written by lawyers for pro se's. NMA are those nice folks who got the 55 mph national speed limit repealed. NMA will pay your speeding ticket if you lose, or pay you $5,000 to win.
