All you can do is say what you have to say, the officers will say what they have to say, and the judge will render a decision.

PA's Disorderly Conduct statute requires a "public" inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm. OUr courts have routinely ruled that a police officer, in the performance of his duties, is not "the public". This means that a "victim" must exist, or else DC doesn't apply.

Is it possible that someone else complained and witnessed the offense?

and, another thing, i just read that the officer cannot testify, since he did not witness the 'criminal activities'

this is true?

Not exactly. He can certainly testify to what he heard and saw. He cannot, barring some exceptions, testify as to what someone else said to him though.

And the entire premis of your defense if that you "KNOW" they did not see anything. So, playing by the same rules, and since you can't know what the officers saw, didn't see or immagined without also being in their heads, the officers will simply tell the judge the same thing you will, that that "saw you".

Guess who will win in that pissing contest?

And since you will lie and tell the judge you weren't doing donuts in the parking lot, why shouldn't the cop lie and say he saw you doing so?

Listen, either fess up and take your punishment or expect others to play by the rules you play by. Sometimes it sucks to be retarded

And now you're not only guilty of doing donuts, you're a liar.

Me and some friend went out and did some donuts and burnouts in a local parking lot,
Remember that? Here's a hint, it's from your ORIGINAL post
