Hi Katy. Yes I showed a picture of my Model A to the policeman accompanying the policewoman plus the magistrate.

I also showed a picture of the NSW police riding motorbikes with their entire body exposed and the policeman said this was a different matter. It did please me that in the end the policeman was humiliated. Even more so when the magistrate asked him why he bothered to issue me an infringement ticket.
When I say my prayers at night, in the God bless segment, which is mainly for my family, I will now include the magistrate.
I receive several emails following the story. Two said they could not see me changing my character or personality. Many commended me for not being intimidated by the police and my son told me not to poke the bear with a stick.
