Default RE: question about the law

Since you have a need to chime in. My apologiseif I offended you. I don't use proper grammar myself most of the time nor do most people. I think this fact was the reason for saying something to him. I knowsome people have a problem with reading comprehension. I also know sometimes things are wellwritten over your head.It's ok eventually somebody will toss you a rope. Maybe then you will learn what it means to read between the lines.

Ouch!! sic him with yo badazz self!! Oh I know my grammar sucks, please leave me be. And you who got caught doing the lawbreaking thing, pay the fine, its cheaper and faster and the right thing to do. oops! I think I left out a comma and forgot to capitalize! I am also afraid to tell you that you misspelled perfect
because of aforementioned reasons

Punctuation, Capitalization, Paragraph.

Let's see, you were driving without an endorsment, after dark, got off the bike and went into a bar........ Where do you live so I can avoid you.

The quote "endorsment, after dark" is a single statement. Itis not separated by a comma. Well, maybe it was not a quote. Hold on you used an ellipsis. An ellipsis is only used when omitting words from a quote. When you use an ellipsis itis only three. It is not the eight you used. Oh, by the way you misspelled the word endorsement.
I would agree correct punctuation would of made his question easier to read. When did this forum become an English class? Why did you feel a need to attack his grammar? Not everyone has an EnglishDegree. Therefore, they should not be expected to have prefect grammar.

Yeah its a public forum and I have the right to chime in. Maybe you could read between the lines for me and find where you think I was offended. I do appreciate the rope though. Maybe one day we can all be as smart as you are, you know, with enough rope. Btw, I was just joking around passing the time instead of watching the boobtube. Try loosening the cobb in your backside. Nice buck.That a 12 pointer?

See a lawyer. There might be probable cause issues. Additionally, the judge will oftentimes simply dismiss a non-moving violation if you have "cured" the problem (you now have your motorcycle endorsement).

Having said that, I trust you will not be repeating your actions which, by your own description, were beyond foolish.

I think you should go to court and tell the judge that the cop had no bizness harrassing you in a bar while having a couple of beers because your bike was parked outside and your endorsement was irrelevant.....
SERIOUSLY!!
You think the judge won't be smart enough to ask how you intended to get home(?) Or ask the cop why he didn't just hide and wait for you to leave on the bike and pop you for dui(?)
That cop woulda and shoulda got you way worse and if you take this to a judge you are going to essentially rat him out for his leniency. You wanna cross the cop like that??
Show the court that you now have the endorsement, but take your punishment for not having it then. Do the right thing... Save some greif!!

It's cool and trust me I am not very smart at all. I am glad you caught the "read between the lines" part. I agree you have every right in the world to chime in. I spent 20 years in the army and a year in Iraq to make sure you have the right. I was not trying to be smart to you until you were to me. I could say something about you being the guy Craig was looking for in the stall. Since you seem to thinkI have something in my backside. I am doing aboutt eh same thing by the way. There is nothing on TV tonight worth watching.He is an 11 has a one inch sticker on the left G2. Can we call it a draw?

For everyone else, I just came on tonight to read about seats. I like to read about the problems other people have.ThenI dont feel alone whenI do something dumb.

Some people seem to think they have a right to say something smart and not be called on it. x2lee if you did not intend to offend me I am truely sorry for anythingI may of said.
