Don't know about all the other guys. Figured they'd come down harder than heck on you, but if it was them in the situation you're in, they'd have a whole different attitude towards it.

Arkansas just added and switched up so many dadgum regulations that I'm sure I could find myself in your situation. You can read over the regs a zillion times and some things are in there so little, and worded so badly, that there's no way you can get from it what they intend for you to.

Good luck is all I can say. Sounds like a string of bad luck and a good honest mistake. Usually, the courts could care less what the situation is. Whether it's honest or not. They're gonna look at you as a bad guy (the way most cops also view most citizens.) It's their mentality. Like I said earlier...good luck.
