I think that a lot of people believe that cops have a lot more power than they really do. Their job is to enforce the law, by looking at the situation, weather they see it themselves or get dispatched to it, And then use some judgment to decide how to handle it. They can ignore it, which of course they could get reported for, They can check it out and decide to just give a warning, or they can write a summons (ticket) and let the judge decide on what to do with it. Of course in most jurisdictions you have the option of pleading guilty to many minor infractions and just send in the summons and the payment. To make that easier they tell you on the ticket what the standard fine is that the governing jurisdiction has put on that offense. You also have the third option of instead of mailing, or going to court, of trying to put the cop in the position of judge and hold court there in the street. In order to do this of course he would have to listen to a lot of details and testimony from maybe multiple people involved. Sometimes they may be willing to do some of this but sometimes they may have other things to do, like especially during a snow storm, or they just may not wish to take on the role of judge in the street. If they don't want to become judge about all they can do is remind you of what your actual choices are and how to take those choices. If you were to argue strenuously you are apt to move into the realm of another crime and thus force them to respond to that one in addition to the first. I have a feeling that this has probably happened in many different places in the past so they have a standard procedure to follow for that as well which was given to them by the governing jurisdiction.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
