Depends on what you were charged with, no such thing as "resisting law enforcement" ether explain find the code or exact man of the charge.
Not really, souped up Dodge Charger once but only at a show. and no idea without google!
What is reasonable is roughly 10 mins thats the avg time it would take for me to write a citation and no if a k9 tips that alone is probable cause,

What's your opinion on radar detectors? Would you be more inclined to give the ticket if they had the good old microwave detector in the window?

[1]Where can I find my state law for tint plates etc. ? I went to my state site but the laws are in a ten billion page pdf file that I cant seem to find any real information in.
[2]If I have my conceal carry license or Im coming back from the range and get pulled over with a gun in my front seat. I am within my legal right, right? How should I handle the situation? I feel like if he walks up and there is a gun next to me that looks bad, and if Im fumbling with a gun trying to jam it in the glove box that looks worse, and if Im yelling out my window that I have a gun hes likely to open fire on me and my car. I dont want it to be misconstrued as a weapon even though it is.
[3]Whats your stand on the reform of marijuana laws? If you dont want to answer this one I understand, just curious.

I don't use mine exclusively for speeding, but I do use it to remind me to look and see what I am doing from time to time. I've never seen anything but Ka band in this part of the country.

Yes, with a reason. Can he just be out for a midnight walk thru peoples back yards no. But any probable cause YUP! Something as little as loud music at a party is plenty for him to take a stroll around your yard.

Is the gun loaded? If so if has to be on your person not laying loose in the car. If not, it needs to be transported in the manner stated by law. A ccw allows nothing more than it to be on you out of site and loaded. AND for the love of god if you don't want shot don't touch it!

I don't smoke and it in no way benfits me. Just one more thing I will have to deal with do to it is considered OVI
