    The other weekend i got a ticket at Fiesta Island down in San Diego. I was having a bonfire with my girlfriend then we were packing up and i decided to do a little donut in the sand before we left. I only did about half of a donut in the sand then i left. 30 seconds later a cop pulls me over and said i was offroading and thinks thats what i went there for. I have traffic court in march. should i plead guilty or not guilty?

    You could....but then you'd be lying.

    I don't know many folks who try to get unstuck by turning the wheels either..

    fight..i hate all these dumb ass cops in cali. i was in san diego with my girlfriend over on friars road, theres a VONS over there and i turned left onto a street i wasn't supposed to between 6am-7pm mon-fri, and it was 6:30 on friday so i turned left, then i got pulled over 5 seconds later. and he asked why i turned when there was a sign, and asked why i was driving in that area so i pointed to my fuckin decal, then he gave me a ticket..good times

    i wouldn't go that far buddy

    But yah, its gonna be hard to get out of that one.. BUT if you go to court they will more than likely reduce it. So it matters if it's worth your time, or if you wanna just pay the thing and do traffic school. We dont get many tickets out here in SD.. the cops usually have better things to take care of... so the judge might say, "This really doesnt matter worth a damn" and let you off the hook! It's worth a shot!!

    off topic: Waves are to be AMAZING tomorrow - so i'll be in your neck of the woods.. either in PB or OB for a set! Keep your eye out for a dirty as all hell rad red truck with a few boards in the back and say hi!

    No...It's still lying...It's only bad if he gets caught. Fine distinction...but in court...It's an important one.
