The ONLY violation I was booked with was 14:95, illegal carrying of a weapon.
If any of you guys read the statute, you'd realize in short order it didn't apply to me.

There was NO attorney ( I could find) who was willing to take this matter to trial, so I had no choice but an out-of-court settlement. I know, not my first choice, either.

There were no depositions, nothing. The sheriff's office managed to get itself removed as a defendant during the preliminary motions.

I have no qualms about posting my plate. If they or any of their thugbuddies want to show their true colors, go for it.
