Never had any encounter with cops in Whidbey. Did you ever consider that they may just not like the looks of you? You are kind of a weasel.

Where in OH was this? I'm curious.Well, on of the pilots who went through the RAG when I did lived in an apartment in the 'hood' section of Whidbey and ended up with a bullet hole in one of his walls. The police shot his downstairs neighbor who was threatening them with a knife (originally a domestic disturbance call). That is a rarity though......
Nope, one of the few places I was not......Highway 20 was my nemesis, all those idiots driving 40 in the 50 zones.......ARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!:icon_rage
Did you have an unpleasant experience?
I'm a notorious speeder, yet I've only received 2-3 tickets in my entire life. The only time I've ever been pulled over in WA was in some podunk town on the east side north of Moses Lake. It was a rural HYW that had a late breaking speed change upon entering the ville and, of course, the cop was waiting right there for me. I suppose I was justified in receiving a ticket, but I certainly wasn't about to drive over to Monroe County to contest the ticket.

I have never been pulled over within the city limits. I can respect the police force there although if I ever got stopped I would expect to meet Barney Fife. I had a 5 year streek of avoiding/successfully contesting tickets untill the very day I had to leave for NSI, I got caught on Rosario. It broke my heart but I had to mail in a check.
In the old apartment buildings off of N Oak Harbor St, behind the skating rink (is it still there?) and the nursing home. Oak Harbor's version of the hood.....
Thank goodness, I was worried that I would have to find out the new place where the high school girls hang out.......
My formula is to sopeana the officers testimony and any other pertienent information such as the calabration log for the speed measuring device as well as the record of the officer's qualifacation to use said device. I do not sopeana the officer himself, because if he is present, than he gets a chance to defend his actions and the paperwork that documents these actions. I then go through these records with a fine tooth comb to find any descrepancies and build a case based on these descrepancies. I just simply show that there is either not enough evidence to support the officers case or that the evidence contradicts itself in some way.
For example, I was cited for speeding and while looking at the calabration logs, I noticed that the officer used the same serial number for his spead measuring device, as well as the calabration tuning forks. In essence he wrote that he calabrated his radar gun with his radar gun... easy as pie.
When I taught TAO school at Dam Neck, VA I took one of the Chiefs who taught radar theory with me to court. 15 minutes into his 4 hour lecture on doppler radar theory the Judge dismissed my speeding ticket.
I figured taking the Chief to a good lunch and giving him a bottle of his favorite beverage was cheaper than the ticket and insurance increase.
