He should have reasoned that he was exceeding the speed of sound and light.

First post !

When was he able to go 150mph on that stretch of road? Isn't it always clogged with traffic?



What would the sentence be for that guilty verdict?

. "he told the jury that later found him guilty, his helmet and clothing were so restrictive that he had no idea CHP officers with flashing lights and sirens were behind him."

Yeah sure buddy. Idiot.

[*] First mistake: speeding on 101 at 100 mph.

[*]Second mistake: running from the law

[*]Third mistake: Not pleading guilty and persuing a plea bargin

[*]Fouth mistake: Using this bone head excuse at trial

This guy is an idiot and deserves the felony conviction.

Another nail.

Happened early on Thanksgiving morning. Road is only clogged around rush hours. Don't know about the sentence, though.

As far as I'm concerned, no harm, no foul. Let him go. Many of us have done the same thing. If we thought it was truly a moral wrong deserving of punishment, most of us wouldn't.

Good thing (I think) 101 doesn't have any Lake Shore Drive chicanes...



The idiocy willl never cease.

Fifth Mistake: Getting Caught

 

[sportbikebandit]

So we just ticket folks that cause an accident? Hmmm. This guy could of caused an accident. Just cause he is on bike doesn't mean he couldn't hurt someone (bystander etc.) or cause another accident.

 

[nokneedragin]

primary mistake

Dang license plate! Sounds like this fellow needs to invest in one of those fancy frames that make the plate really hard to read.



Maybe I should send him mine. You see, where I live here in Doddrige Co. West Virginia. The sheriff has known me my entire life. Worse yet, my wife works for him.



Bottom line, if I get dumb on the bike anywhere near home. I'm screwed!



Life's just not fair!

Catche 'em, shoot 'em and leave

1980s during the Libya thing. Funny now we are buddies with the same dictator we bombed. Hmm that democracy thing in the Middle East, W talks about doesn't apply to dictators and monarchies (Saudi Arabia) that are friends with oil huh?

His big mistake was having a license plate that could be so easily read...



back in grade school we used to rub grease onto the plates of our trail bikes & let the dusty roads take care of the rest. The donut-smugglers used to harass us for riding the ditches along the state highway, we'd just scatter and cut across a field...

 

[sportbikebandit]

LOL My brother-in-law is ex-cop who has a t-shirt he wears to Sturgis sometimes "Shoot them all God will sort them out"

 

[49605]

I don't like cops either but I think that simply shooting them is way too harsh.



A more rational approach would be to end the goofy "war on drugs" and cut law enforcement and prison budgets by 50%.



Of course the powerful prison and law enforcement lobbys wouldn't like that!

 

[48659]

Dam that's harsh! Judge Roy Bean is presiding?

Here's a guy who capped off a string of stupid acts with the crowning achievement of getting the worst lawyer he could find. Jeeez. What a stupid defense. Where did he find his lawyer? On TV? Hanging around an emergency room?



Unless (the story doesn't say) he decided to defend himself? Ahahahahahaha! If he did he deserves the full 3 years.



I got a good job for this guy. He should work in a State Department foreign policy think tank. He'd fit right in. Or he could join the Calif State Budget Office.
