Something tells me it's going to be more interesting than the LV Municipal Court. If you best them I'll be amazed, I think they are corrupt, and in the pocket of the Cab Co.'s big time, and tend to make the rules as they go. May not affect your police record, but could end your career. I applaud your tenacity, but Tread lightly Mr. Funk, you are now in my "Hero" territory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21486842.post-89786907012344861522010-08-20T13:20:42.121-07:002010-08-20T13:20:42.121-07:00Hey!...

I am a long time Cabbie (over twenty years in three different provinces and four cities in Canada and wanted to let you know that this is the first I have ever heard of a "Flagging" Ban I also wanted to let you know I have been following you for a while... I just started my new blog from Calgary, Alberta Canada I will be watching your future posts, however remember you will never win when fighting the establishment. pay the fine and be more discrete in the future as tough as that may sound. <br /><br />I was once fined for arguing with a company executive forty dollars mean while I was only asking questions, much like you. Long story short I paid the fine BUT with a twist, I took eight five dollar bills and tore them into many pieces placed them in an envelope and wrote... I worked for them so can you.... No more was said and I was back to work that night...

Have to imagine that there is always a good change a cop won't come to the hearing, so sounds like you should always fight.

Nicely rigged game...if you're the government. <br /><br />Keep em' coming!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
