In other words they don't seem to be set up to do that ]as a regular procedure. At that point I gave up and paid it -- it was ]less trouble. it's a no win situation. the cops/judges don't necessarily know all the laws, and the last thing they want to hear is someone telling them they're wrong... -- Joe Senner -- joe@Rider.Cactus.Org Austin, TX
