It's hard to say whether a lawyer would have helped any of these people, because none of them had one. The cop did have a light meter for the tint cases, but I don't know if he had a calibration affidavit for its accuracy, because none of the defendants asked for it. I aslo don't know if any kind of light meter or sound meter was used, because likewise they did not ask for that. The cop never mentioned using any device in his testimony, except for the light meter on his tint cases. He just said the mufflers were "especially" "very" or "too" loud and the lights were white or "too" white. Even other cops aren't real enthusiastic about this squad. While Officer Compliance was testifying on one of the muffler cases, I asked two cops on the front row if his nickname was "Rabbit Ears". They busted a gut, and the bailiff came over and told us to shut up.
