Tips to get out of muffler citation?

[SlowWhite]

It's a fix it ticket. Or at least tell them the cop told you that. I got pulled over in Minneapolis for this. The officer had to stop talking to me as a harley went by cause he couldn't hear what he was saying but said bikes are different then cars. Anyrate I went to coart and said I fixed my muffler (was for loud exhaust not illegal exhaust not sure if makes a difference but don't see why both shouldn't be fix it tickets) and tell them you thought the officer said to bring it to court and ask them if they want to look at it. They won't waste the time, the judge will just ask you to repeat your story more then likely to try to see if you are telling the truth about fixing it. (same goes for anyone who gets a "no front license plate ticket" I've had plenty, works every time) anyways they'll dismiss it.
If you aren't comfortable about doing it with out putting a stock one back on see if you can find somone to loan you one. But I've had 8 no front license plate tickets and only 1 did I pay cause i was to lazy to go to court). I also got out of my loud exhaust ticket. Its just a standard fine if you want to pay it. No points on license.

Another option, take pictures of both stock and the after market one that's on your car from the rear. Tell them you had a hole in the first one. (ie: your first ticket assuming its on your record) you got it fixed and this is the muffler they put on. If they ask for documentation tell them its at home. If you can ask one of the local shops if you need to would they create a invoice for you for replacing a muffler. They don't know about Cats, etc. And I don't know anyone thats gone to court and had an officer come out and look under there car. You will get out of it or max. pay the $50 court fee. Should be all you pay just keep your story straight... I mean how are they to know?
