Wasabi, after hearing all the details sounds like alcohol was a none factor, that is good to hear. I am also glad you and everyone involved is safe, I am sorry for my first few posts being a little A-hole-ish, but dui is something that hits close to home and I get fired up as you can notice. I think it was just that your first message came across as if you had gotten away with something, just like this last message trying to stick it to the police. That is just not the way I see things. I am sure this specific police officer had little to nothing to do with your minor problems with window tint and colored lighting, and if we have problems with legislation or how it is enforced that is why we have freedom of speech and petitions and our ability to vote. I appreciate and commend the service our policemen do for us even though every once and a while I feel like they screwed me over on a ticket or something, when push comes to shove I am very proud of our system. Is it perfect? No as many of you have pointed out. But we are free, and spoiled compared to the rest of the world.
In short sorry for my first rant I am glad alcohol was not a factor, and I hope you get everything sorted out with the repairs :-)
