Whaaaaaaaatttt?!?!?!?!?!

All arguments fail with logic and facts are ignored. They also fail when people fail to see that not only is there not a direct correlation between guns, gun laws, and crime, but there is little correlation at all. Go ahead and call me racist, but something like 93-96% of the violent crime in Chicago involves Black or Hispanic males.

Ahh, yes, it appears there is no discovery, because as I made note of before, NYC traffic court is in fact not a real court, it is a kangaroo court or 'administrative tribunal' as I have seen it referred too. Standard rules do not apply. You have no constitutional protection, because it is not a constitutionally followed proceeding. Hearsay is just fine...when it benefits the state. Evidence is not required. Appeals are discouraged...because you have to pay for them. Sorry buddy. You got boned.

On second thought, even though I am a huge advocate of not taking a plea when you are truly innocent, that might be a good idea. You are going to lose. Might as well try to save some money. Last year it was exposed that not only was there 'ticket fixing' going on, their solution to that was to punish LEO's who didn't do a good enough job, which in turn, led to exaggerations and lying in court. In other words, in order to not be punished administratively, LEO's were being forced to perjurer themselves. Of course, the judge isn't there to act as an unbiased and impartial judge, either, so they don't care if the officer is lying, regardless of whether you prove it or not. Furthermore, it sounds like traffic violations are to be treated as misdemeanors for the purpose of trials.....except that you can't get a jury, and have no right to a fair and speedy trial...or due process. And did you know that in traffic court you don't need to be proven guilty? The burden of proof is on...you. They don't need to provide evidence against you. Their word is all that is required. And their word outweighs your evidence. Seriously. So basically, you are dealing with a kangaroo court who wants your money. What is worse, is that they are so busy, and have so many people, in order to speed things up, anyone who tries to fight it (and loses most likely), receives additional 'administrative' fees. So tack on more money to your ticket...just because the court had to do its job.

Regardless of what is or isn't admissible, you still need to request discovery for IMO, most of the things fireandicz mentioned. File a motion to dismiss, and an affidavit of truth stating what happened. Also, are traffic violation in NY civil or criminal?

Correct.

No big deal. But as a point of advice, since you are posting on the internet, you could also have looked it up before posting, and saved yourself the embarrassment of being totally wrong.

The whole freedom of expression thing, right to bear arms thing, right to be free from unreasonable search thing, right to a fair trial thing, yeah, they don't actually exist are are no more than an illusion. Those in politics, even at the lowly level of being a town council member, like power and control.

Once again. Open carry is legal in PA without a license (except in Philly, where it is legal with a license). When traveling between NJ and PA, interstate transportation rules apply. That would be FOPA, and NOT either NJ of PA state laws. Take your guns. Have fun and be safe.

Fireanicz is correct. You need request for discovery, I believe at the court clerks office. You could also while you are at it file a motion to dismiss, affidavit of truth, etc. You can find out how to do all these things with a bit of research online. Though it isn't that hard, courts have a ton of procedure, and it is easy to get tripped up. Good luck.

Why? Because they are oppressive hacks who want control.

Left they out question 6. Do you have basic reading comprehension abilities? Yes_________________20% No__________________15% I'm confused__________65%

We fly low level training flights all over the east coast as part of standard currency requirements. I wish I had it with me, I'd post a video I took flying at 300 feet through the Adirondacks in upstate NY. Saw a few cabins along the river. I bet anybody down there would have been awfully surprised to see a 350,000 pound aircraft 300 feet off the ground making 60 degree banks through the hills down the valley...

Conditioning?

If you want to experience all these things and more, in one movie, you are in luck. Look no further than the Korean movie, 'Shiri'. I cannot remember a movie with more asinine shootout scenes. In one, there was a battle between essentially 2 Armies, of about 20 on each side, from comparable positions, with comparable firearms, and no real advantage from either side. One group had everyone in it killed. The other, not a single injury. Another scene had 1 guy with a handgun that was out of ammo, and a chick with a revolver, in a building, completely surrounded by some sort of elite tactical or SWAT unit. They both escaped without injury, simply by hiding behind office furniture, firing blindly while running away. The 600+ rounds I figured were fired at them, including while being chased down a small hallway with only about a 15 foot gap between them, did nothing.

That is my mother too, except she respects both me and my father enough to know that despite her dislike of firearms we are adults capable of making our own decisions, which include owning them. While I doubt I will ever get her to go shooting with us, she knows I like shooting, and that my dad enjoys shooting with me, and totally encourages us to go to the range. That doesn't stop her from complaining why I 'need so many' though!

Threat title = legitimate. That is definitely winning.

Likely excuse! Or you could just get an adjustable or collapsible stock and adjust it...wait a second...............

I agree with those that say dress appropriately. That doesn't indicate any specific dress requirement, but wearing a t-shirt with your pro-gun opinion on it isn't that. Unfortunately, people get convicted by juries for stupid things all the time because people don't take jury duty seriously. So you end up with a bunch of morons as jury members because people who could actually make a good judgment find ways to get turned away...like you will if you dress like that.

I have to agree. It doesn't matter if there is a policy specifically stating you ARE allowed to do these things. If you are going to speak out on something and that something is not directly in line with your bosses (in any profession), or worse, is opposite, there are consequences and repercussions. You can be completely correct, it can be completely lawful, legal, and not a violation of any work policy. But guess what. Unless you are at the very top of the ladder, the people over you can make things difficult for you. It IS a matter of discresion. This is NOT an issue of right or wrong, sadly. What we are talking about is politics. There are a different set of rules. With that sad, YOU need to figure out how far you will take things when it comes to standing up for your beliefs. For some people, the saying "shut up and color" is where they stand. They might not do anything to jeopardize their career, even if they think something is wrong. For others, they may push back a little, but go no further than, again as the saying goes, "how much your career can handle." Others more, might think their beliefs and convictions are more important than their career, and go past that line. Sometimes, if they are really right, and have legal standing, can get away with it. But it is almost always a battle. Sometimes, you might find yourself in a world of hurt. I think why this may be directed towards LEO's, is because they, like many government employees, often have a shorter leash, and more rules/policies to deal with than others. I've seen and dealt with this first hand.

C-130's don't transport troops home from overseas. That isn't their role, and would be miserable. The 142nd is a C-130 squadron in DE. I'm not sure how it works in the 130 world, but maybe they had a training day or were doing some formation flying, an ORI, flyaway, or some other random training events. I know this was a UTA weekend for them, so everyone was in town, so it would make sense for the flyers to stick around and knock out a bunch of currency.

It sounds like he was fortunate he wasn't injured. 800 LBS would crush a lot of people!

They have already violated the law, lying to you certainly isn't out of the question. What can you do? Nothing very useful, unless you happen to be the mayor...

The affect it has had on me is huge. Before, when readily available ammunition, I could go on shooting spree's, and commit crimes up the wazoo. The combination of lacks gun laws and easily acquired ammunition was an enabler of crime. But good thing things are tightening up, and ammunition is harder to find. I haven't been able to rob a liquor store at gun point in a few months now. Said no criminal ever. But seriously. I haven't been able to go to the range as much, which means life is less enjoyable, and I spend more time on the internet playing with another type of gun.

Yep, exactly what I am saying. If they want to compromise, lets start. I want to eliminate all current gun control laws. We can compromise by only getting rid of half of them. But that is unreasonable... Makes me want.......................... some cake. I'm pretty freaking.......................... hungry right now actually.
