The judge is not only reading the statute wrong she MAY have put herself in line for dismissal. The owner needs to hire an attorney and take this to the next level.

Sounds like the cop and the judge got a thing goin' on
As for the cop car, looks good mostly, but why such narrow tires? I know they can't run low-profiles on it since they'll need to chase crooks down dirt roads, but they could put some wider wheels on there so that it won't get left behind in the corners...
Edit: Oooh TT V6 Ecoboost w/ 6 speed, nice...but an MS Sync system? With all the "cyberwarfare" scaremongering, you'd think they would have left that out...

Our city tried using Taurus Police cars about 10 years ago here, as a cost cutting measure. The cops cried like little babies and ended up crashing almost all of them the first winter they used them. One guy crashed three of them! Instead of bouncing their butts off the force, the city replaced all of the cars with Crown Vics, which they have used ever since. When gas spiked way up a couple of years ago, in their infinite wisdom, they purchased a bunch of cop Durangos. Now the police union points to the gas budget numbers as "proof" that their boys must be doing a good job of patrolling our streets.

Sounds like your police force needs to Robocop up.

This is exactly the kind of stuff I was talking about earlier in the thread. It seems that advanced driver training is expensive, even for state patrolmen. Here in GA, they've got a place for training:
http://www.gpstc.org/But IIRC, they charge the county & city PDs money to attend the training. And the place is also a classroom for officers to learn things besides driving.
