People don't pay me to clean up repair tickets. It was the quantity of crack cocaine in the seat that people pay me to take care of. Judges won't just give up a cop's traffic stop without a lot of admissible evidence. Particularly not when that means letting a couple of hillbillies with crack go scot free.

I was not aware that the UUC list was a reliable source of information for attorneys to use in a court of law...I guess that's why I was not sure of the detail you were after. Hell, if I knew this was to help defend someone who got busted with crack cocaine in the car I would not have even responded ;-) Dave ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 22:56:58 -0400 From: "Gary Derian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[email protected]> Subject: Re: high mounted center brake light question Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The job of an advocate is to do anything he can to support his client. The lawyer is not the finder of fact, that is the job of the jury, or judge, if there is no jury. The UUC list is not a reliable source, but someone here may be able to point to a reliable source. If you have already decided the fate of the people who were stopped for no other reason than the third brake light didn't work, then you are not a reliable source nor a reliable finder of fact. Our legal system isn't perfect, but its better than any other system yet devised.

( a few years ago as I recall). -Kevin ---------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail communication is confidential and is intended only for the individual(s) or entity named above and others who have been specifically authorized to receive it.

I guess if the judge is a real stickler or you know him/her to be a problem in this particular situation, it would be something to do serious research about to find out when it was changed over specifically, but I'm going to go with the assumption that we didn't do them until require by law, which puts the implementation date somewhere out at '93 MY or so. IIRC the Escort went to a CHMSL at 93.5MY, around about the same time they went to a flush-mounted headlight but I may be mistaken. let me check at work to see where that sort info in implementation might be found, it's got to be somewhere, but it's not likely the sort of thing the legal people will cough up unless _we're_ the ones in court. I'm not spending my life in our engineering release system to be able to work my way back in history to follow the progression of replaced parts either, plus that will only nail down a rough timeframe. getting the actual implementation date at a plant would definitely be a serious pain since there's been at least two changes of material handling/ordering systems since then IIRC.

I have been told this before by a trusted technician, specifically when I was asking about the input shaft seal on a differential. > I refer you to para 1 again above.
