Terry WAS a good cop and IS a good man regardless of what others WHO DO NOT KNOW him, the details of the case, or the obsticles created by an ambiguous FORMER registration law might think. The problem in CA reaches much further than what SOME commonly refer to on this site as "Cobras" (a misrepresentation in and of itself). How many titles were in question? Tens of thousands? There are not that many "Cobras" in North America let alone CA. This issue even stretches far beyond the scope of TU.

It is unfortunate that a few are so quick to condemn a person they do not know for something they do not understand - especially when they pretend to be spotless themselves. My company routinely settles lawsuits where no infractions exist because the cost to litigate is greater than the cost to settle. Private citizens often plead out a legal charge for no other reason than the cost to litigate and the risk of trial surpasses the cost of the plea bargain. It is SOOOOOOO easy to say that "I would pay anything and suffer any consequence to protect my good name" when it is hypothetical and there is nothing on the line. The FACTS are that most will not chance losing everything to make a stand on principle. I recently recieved a citation (driving) where I was innocent and could PROVE it. I wouldn't waste the time out of my day to save the chump change it cost me to pay the fine. That said, I have gotten away with speeding and other offenses along the way.

I consider myself an honest man. However, I would steal a loaf a bread if it meant my child would not starve. So make your judgements if you must but as the Bible says, "Before you pull the splinter from another's eye, remove the beam from your own". The greatest sin of all is passing judgement from the arrogant position of pretending that you are somehow "more righteous". I guess maybe I should take my own advice and delete this entire post. Naw!!!!!!!!!!
