Everything in this post is all hypothetical due to legal reasons. I'm aware that anything can be used against you in a court of law today. Any accounts of me admitting to doing anything are not real life occurances and are all hypethetical situations.

So I am pretty much at a loss of words for wht happened in the last 2 days. I was given a summonce for reckless driving by a cop in school the day after all of these events. I was at my friends and suposedly peeled out infront of his house. After that someone called the cops and reported me for driving up the street after that and said "I was racing up and down the hill". I go to my house (about 15houses up the block) and park my car on the street. Go into my house and go out to dinner.

This part is all from friends and a friends mother who witnessed a cop do this. A cop shows up about 30mins later when I am out to eat. I get a call from a friend saying park your car somewhere else. I say I'm not worried about it its not like the cop saw me do it. So the cop asks my friend who doing burnouts and racing up the street. My friends are obviously reluctant to tell the cop. So they just go along with what he says. At one point he gets out of his car and says I dont beleive you. If you dont tell me the truth I'm going to issue you all $500 fines and take you down to the station. At that point a friend of mine who has a little bit of a record and cant get in trouble tell hims theres a camaro up the street and says its mine. The cop then goes to my house, knocks on the door (I had left 30mins earlier) for about 5mins and walks around my house through my backyard twice. The whole time my neighbor is watching him. After he accepts the fact that I'm not home he goes up to my car and feels the hood and the front tires.

So I come home and shrug it off still thinking he didnt see me what ever. Goto school the next day and get called down to my vice principals office. Theres the school cop and another one standing there with my vp. The cop says to me I heard you were doing some burnouts yesterday. I look at him and say I was out to eat with my mom. He then tells me that besides the person who called my friend ratted me out. He continues to tell me about how my tires were blazing hot and he could see the marks in the road down the street. I say to him that my neighbor told me about him feeling my front tires and he then says he felt all my tires and my hood and everything was hot. So I continue my arguement trying to avoid receiving it all together and he says "Dont even try to say it wasnt you" and I respond by say word for word "I wont try to tell you it wasnt me" and continue to say do you know how many other red Camaro's there are in the area. He then tells me that I have to show up for this court date and hands me the summonce.

So I've talked with some cops and a lawyer a little bit because I have the intent of having the charges fully dropped. I just need some advice about what I have as an arguement as far as a lack of their evidence goes. As far as I have figured when I go to court I plan to argue the witness didnt give my plates, that I see 5 red camaros on my way to work/school everyday and that I wasnt even reported for doing a burnout I was reported for "racing up and down the street" which I am completely innocent of. Further more I plan to argue that my friends were threatened if they didnt supply information and that the cop is now claiming he saw me do it when he really showed up 30mins later.

Basically I am wondering if anyone here has ever won anything like this in court. I mean despite the fact that I may have done the obvious I would still like to plead innocent and try to fight it based on lack of evidence. Just looking to pick up some advice on the legal system seeing as how this is my first time true. My main concern is points not the money btw. I know since its my friend offence I could pay $400 have it dropped to careless with no points. Thats what both of my friend that recently received their first reckless driving summonces did but I think I may actually have a shot at winning this all out.

BTW: I know it was stupid what I "did" but that not the matter at hand. he matter at hand is how do I not loose my license and get points ect. I would appreciate not being bashed for how stupid the events were or how it was stupid to do that on the road or on my own street.
