It probably will not affect your probation.

why didn't you just go to a closed store empty parking lot, i always go to the industrial spots while they are closed, and test and adjust my system there

lmao... only thing im really worried about is the fact that im on probation only have 2 months left on it but i dunno about now

just because the wonderful legal system fails in our "free country"

worst case you get probation revoked and those old charges come back to haunt you

The mall cops (or whoever called the cops) are witnesses. That's enough evidence if he took thier statements. The cop would, probably, have to witness to arrest you. Since he didn't see/hear it he just wrote the ticket.

I'm guessing the cop looked in the car and saw your system and/or you admitted you were making noise? If so, that confirms the witnesses statements. Plenty of proof to convict you.

You could try fighting it, to get off on a techinicallity, but the fact is your guilty so the odds are not in your favor. You knew you were annoying the hell out of people there and you knew that the cops are cracking down on people who pound bass. You got caught.

Another strategy would be to show up to court and man up, tell him your wrote a letter to the mall apologizing for distrubing thier business and customers (give the judge a copy), tell them you didn't realize it could be heard so far away, you've torn out the system (take the sub box out of your car don't lie to the judge), and beg him to reduce the penalty to a non-misdemeanor because your already on probation and this could have very serious consequences for you. Tell him about a local group you volunteer with. If you don't, find one quick. Volunteer to help kids at your community center. Volunteer work with kids could really help.

If your already on probation, try to stay out of trouble instead of trying to get away with stuff.

How about since you did it, pay it.

I dont know the technical term for it but i do know that Bass (low Frequencies) cannot be pinpointed so even if he did hear your bass it could of been behind him or on the other side of the road... So you could bring that up also even if the mall cop says he heard it....

Chances are if you take it to court the cop won't even show up!

just pull your system out and say you dont even have one. if they need proof just show them your car. also make sure you bring car that is reported on ticket
