He was (IIRC) 17 at the time and driving a Chevy van (his dad's) and was going down a hill in Columbia, dragging the brakes the whole way trying not to go over the limit because the cop was right behind him. The cop was a Forest Acres cop, well known as the most strict in the city. He went to court along with his dad, the judge wouldn't even lower the fine. I guess they were determined to teach him a lesson.
Haha! Forest Acres sucks. So does Springdale!
Youngsters don't really have rights in court. I grew up in Orangeburg, SC where kids would get reamed over running the yellow light. Seems the judge had a child that had gotten killed in a wreck and took it out on anybody under 18.
