Tom is right about contesting this ticket. I should of contested the muffler
when the idiot CHP ticketed me for loud excessive noise (100db). The first
mistake is that he remarked that when I pulled you over, it didn't sound
that loud when you pass me on the HWY 78. The next mistake he had no DB
Noise reader to determine the level. Though, I was behind two other
vehicles, one had a fart pipe about the size of Rhode Island.
However, I needed to replace the resonator for a Thrush Muffler anyway but
then I should made his life miserable by having come to court and explain
his actions.
Getting back to what Tom said is correct. I would contest it if you have the
time and the windows are within the law.

You can contest the charges bases on that fact that he took so long to get
it to work... that could be construed as incompetence in operating the
device, and that any reading may not be accurate... Plus, the fact that the
officer didn't show you the reading on the device... Plus the fact that it
was near month end(quote getting time)...
That is reasonable doubt...
They might throw it out, or might require that it be rechecked...
