I hate to open this general topic...but I haven't seen this specific question addressed.
Are there sentencing guidelines for violation of V&T section 397 ("mobile scanners")?
I know the law calls for a penality of up to 6 months in jail...has that ever really happened? My limited understanding is that most laws contain the maximum sentence and first offenders usually see much less.
Has anyone ever been arrested and taken "downtown" and booked or had to post bail...or is a ticket the normal course?
I'm not asking because of any specific incident...just curious.
