When all else fails Cord, remember:

Devils advocate here,
Sorry Cord, don't mean to pizz you off, but you admit its to high. Why not accept responsibilty and pay the fine instead of trying to get off on a technicality, which is what you are trying to do by sugar coating it. It would be one thing if you are under the limit and the test was done wrong in which it read to high, but you ADMIT it. While you are fighting it because you don't agree with the law, it is the law and you must accept it for what it is until it gets changed. But we know that will never happen.
Here in IN, we have no db reading. Just can't have silent choice. Figure that chit out! Best for me to be loud and obnoxious 100% of the time than having the option of stealth mode around the docks and at nite.
Anyways, good luck.
BTW, what that saying about a guy who represents himself? Having a fool for a lawyer.

While your changing the laws Cord, get that chit repelled!

The boat blew 95. I have Teague mufflers that reduce that to by 10db. The law calls for 86db. They start ticketing at 89db. The Teague mufflers broke 1 week before the citation. I had already contacted Teague and they wanted to receive the mufflers so they could repair them. The problem is that the mufflers are integral with the tips, so the whole exhaust system must be torn apart. This was the last run of the year, so I just wanted to have fun for one last time before winter set in. This was all explained to the cop with the hope that I could get a "fix it ticket". No dice. He didn't care. He cited me. Mind you these are the same cops that were quoted earlier in the year as "Once all the performance boats are off the water, my problems will be solved." There are issues happening here that are bigger than me just wasting a few dollars. The cops up here are issuing about 150 noise citations a weekend in an attempt to get the perfomance boats off the water. They say that safety is their number one concern, yet they never asked me if I had a fire extinguisher. Never asked me if I had enough life preservers. Never asked if I had a throwable device. They didn't care. They just want my boat off their water.
BTW-this was also on the same day that my prop was stolen!

Hey Cord, looks like you are well prepared but you never know, the water-cop might not even show up!!
That's what happened to me one time on a local lake here in PA. Got wrote up for coming up on the dock too fast, posted 100' yet I cut the throttle at least 300' but my wake rocked the PA Fish & Game's boat a little bit while he was tied up at the dock so he wrote a $100.00 fine and then never showed up at court!
Judge got pizzed and threw it out!
Anyway, good luck.
