12 years ago I got a ticket from local officer while pulling 2 hayracks of straw. My court date was about a month ahead. I showed up and sat through 3 hrs. of cases and was finally the last one left. Judge asked why I was there. I told him and county attorney butted in saying they hadn't prepared for the case. I showed the judge my ticket with the proper date and he dismissed the case.
