That's good to hear! Glad it worked out.

Victory.

I hate it when cops got an issue with some one and overuse their power.

I got a ticket once for "Excessive speed"... Told the cop it was BS, he didn't have proof, ha! Take that!

He then showed me the radar, and then looked at the construction zone 300 yards from where I was pulled over, then said I was speeding in a construction zone, and accordingly bumped the ticket up to $209...

Haha, yeah, I was doing 12 over.

The crappy part was I wasn't in the construction zone, or else the ticket would have been like $100 less....

Arizona does that too, but your car has to be something like 25 years old, at least, haha...
