Tone and attitude are the key to avoiding the ticket. A retired cop buddy once said "Nobody ever talked me out of a ticket, but a lot of guys have talked themselves into one.".

His traffic infraction is well deserved and he'll get whatever's coming to him.As a Marylander, it's the use of MD wiretapping law to shut him up that I find offensive and leading to a horrible precedent.If you dig deeper in the links I posted, you'll find that this isn't the only time someone was charged for filming law enforcement in MD. Anyways, happy trails to all.  I've been having a blast on my bike with the atypical nice weather here in the UK.Keep the tires and cameras rolling! Josh.

Interestingly though, the rider seems to be between the dog and the hydrant since his own video is the evidence of police misconduct it at the same time paints him with some clearly ticket able actions (neither the wheelie or the bouncing the needle off 120+ endangered anyone but himself).  Otherwise, to me, he seemed to be a reasonable rider. I'd say to MD highway patrol, "Get rid of the 'Rambo wannabe'.  He's a liability" Jeff explained how it's really done right. Lee
